North Jersey Medical Society Defended by Dr. Alexander
Reply Is Made to Charge By Physician Who Resigned From Membership That Body Has Been Guilty of Violation of Professional Ethics.
QUOTATIONS TO SHOW THAT DR. DURRAH HIMSELF TOLD OF RACE LIMIT PRACTICE
Remarks Attributed to Plainfield Physician Contradict His Denial of Having Agreed to Accept Only Patients of His Own Race.
Intense interest has been generated in the matter of relations between the North Jersey Medical Association and two of its former members, Dr. L. Greeley Brown of Elizabeth, and Dr. F. F. Durah of Plainfield, following the action taken by the two physicians in resigning from membership in the medical organization.
The resignations were based, it is alleged upon the adoption of a resolution in the society which endorsed the application of Dr. L. A. Lawrence of Elizabethtown for restatement in the profession. Dr. Lawrence had been disbarred from painting medicine by the State Medical Board under charges preferred and presented by the Union County Medical Association, bound up of white physicians. Dr. Brown, Durrah, and perhaps one other, Dr. Lawrence had finally been a member of this society.
BRIDGEPORT INDUSTRY OPENS TO NEGRO LABOR
In announcing the resignations of Drs. Brown and Durrah, it was alleged that Dr. Durrah, in order to retain the goodwill of white physicians in the organization, had been members of the Negro race, and to refuse to minister to white patients.
Charged Violation of Ethics
Both Dr. Brown and Dr. Durrah made statements in reply to the published story, their replies appearing in the latest issue of The New York Age. Dr. Brown sought to justify his action, charging the North Jersey Medical Society with violation of professional ethics in their endorsement of Dr. Lawrie's code for reinstatement, and asking the code of principles adopted by the American Medical Association as part of the charge. Dr Durrah denied that he had made any agreement as to race limit in his practice, declaring that he is an attending physician of a day nursery, all the time being white, with and attending two lab classes, with both white and colored labes, and that he has both white and colored patients.
With a view to clarifying the situation if possible, the Age sent a representative to interview some of the leading physicians, members of the North Jersey Medical Society, asking for a statement embracing all the facts in an appeal with reference to that fact on the reinstatement of Dr. Lawrie, from the county membership of Dr. Durrah and Durrah.
one of the leading members of the North Jersey organization is Dr. Walter Alexander of Orange, former member of the New Jersey State Assembly. In Alexander has been prominently involved with activities of the medical society its formation in 1907, and he is one of the leading physicians of New Jersey, without regard to race or response. The Age representatives in the following statement concerning the future existing between the North Jersey Medical Society and Dts. Lawrence, jeff and Durrah.
Clarifying the Situation
The article contained in the last issue of The Age by Dres. Brown of Elizabethtown and Durrah of Plainfield are so such as variance with the statement of his previous week, which apparently had official sanction of the North Jersey editorial Society, that I deem it wise to仕 as much as possible the situation. While I have always had very close personal relations with both Dres. Brown of Durrah, but the statement, particul-ly that of Dr. Brown, is of such a nature, and reflects on standing of the members of the North may Medical Society, that I am compelled to subordinate any personal feelings and do whatever ever best to the large majority. It is a serious thing, known as the North Jersey institution, and which is composed of some of the most reputable progressive, physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the race, with vision of professional ethics."
Statement a Smoke Screen
The specially pretentious statement that Dr Brown is very high sounding; but it means a smoke screen to delude who know not 'and those who do not understand not.' In this statement he portrayes the members of the North Jersey Medical Society as a and bewildered group of men who tendering in a professional slough. I should and at the same time I should not only as a paragon of ethics, but as a pallidium of respected professional men against the standards of ethics formed by their white brethren. That this statement is correct is indicated by the following statement of Dr Brown, which is as ridiculous as it is irreal. The very fact that two men and seven from a medical society they had reasons to believe that would affect their standing in another world indicate that there is a final difference between the principal object of the two societies. The location of these two physiological does notate that there are many radical forms of men principles of the North Jersey Medical Society and the North Jersey Medical Society. It simplifies that these two men have a literal viewpoint from the other men the North Jersey Medical Society.

BRIDGEPORT INDUSTRY OPENS TO NEGRO LABOR
Largest Industrial Center In New England Now Showing Inclination to Employ Negroes.
2,500 COLORED IN CITY
Good Wages, Fair Laws and Good Educational Facilities Are Inducements.
That the Negro can make good in industry in the North is evidenced by the success Negro mechanics are having in the industries of Bridgeport, Conn., the largest industrial city in New England. Of the 200,000 inhabitants of that city only 2,500 are colored, but this small group grows in the various industries of the city, and have so impressed the big manufacturers that colored labor is now preferable to white emigrant laborers.
Among the big manufacturers there is the General Electric Company's plant for manufacturing electric fans and all kinds of small electrical appliances. This company employs 15,000 people when going to full blast, many of whom are men and girls. While there are now 50,000 employed by the officials and the employment department are planning to open work to colored girls.
The American Tube and Stamping Company, employing three thousand men, is headed by a southern man from Richmond, Va. He frankly states that he prefers colored labor to foreign and is admitting colored labor in large numbers to this factory. Peter Deenshenbry came from New Bern, N. C. to Bridgeport a number of years ago and for a long time was the only colored employee in this company. He holds a responsibility with the company and there are about a hundred skilled and semi-skilled colored employees now with the company, several of whom are foremen.
The chief electrician of the Bridgeport Brass Company is Iley Reearay, a Negro, formerly of Franklin, N. C. Mr. Reearay has been in the company for twenty years. He started as a laborer and worked up through the departments to his preset position of colored engineers, Edgar Russell and Edward Farrart, formerly of Virginia, who are also employed by this company. They are highly respected and are property owners.
The Columbia Graphophone Company, which has a large factory in Bridgeport, employed a colored man, a Mr. Thomas, as chief of the proof-reading department during the war. Two years ago they got rid of their colored employees, and Mr. Thomas went to the Bridgeport Evening Post, where he is now a proof-reader.
Among the other big manufacturers in Bridgeport are the Locomobile Automobile Co., which employed colored during the war, and is again opening up to the Werner Brothers, corset manufacturers, and the Eastern Malleable from Company.
There are two colored doctors and two colored dentists in Bridgeport, who have a large practice of both white and colored, but as yet there is no colorer there. In Bridgeport, Miss Mercer Whiting, a colored girl, was appointed a teacher in the local schools about three years ago. She was appointed a teacher in the same school where she had been a student under the strictest principal in the system, but there were three or four other colored others, in the public schools.
As indicative of the changing attitude of the northern manufacturer toward colored labor, four of the largest manufacturers of Bridgeport recently met with H. H. Faulkner, a colored man, and told him that they were willing to do away with foreign labor and use American labor, both white and black. These companies are now seeking the better class of colored labor from the South.
Mr. Faulkner was for twenty years a clerk in the Bridgeport Trust Company. In 1902 he gave up his position with this company and was personally hired by D. H. Warner to establish a branch of the Warner Brothers Corset company which employed colour cloths. This branch ran successful for a year, but because of a big business slump in 1907 it discontinued with all other branches of this company. Mr. Faulkner is now an employee of the Bridgeport Brass Company and is keenly interested in opening up new opportunities for Negroes in the industries of Bridgeport.
Among the fastest workers in the interest of progress and justice to Negro labor is Chief George W. Wheeler of the Stats Supreme Court. Other leading white citizens are also interested in a secure deal to the Negro in industry.
NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1923.
Charles W. Anderson, 156 West 132nd street, one of New York City's most prominent colored citizens, and a noted figure in Republican party circles, was sworn in on Monday morning, April 2, as Collector of Internal Revenue in charge of the Third District of the internal Revenue Bureau. His affiliation with Congress was authorized by Congress just before its final adjournment on March 4.
President Harding named Mr. Anderson as the first collector for this new district and scores of his friends and political associates, including many distinguished citizens of both races, were presented in the offices of the Bureau, which occupy the eleventh floor, and 57th street, at 10:30 o'clock. Monday morning, when the oath of office was administered to Collector Anderson by James R. Van Voorhees, supervisor of Accounts and Collections of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
A mass of floral tributes from friends and various political organizations filled the private offices of Collector Anderson, and congregated programs and letters over his desk.
Col William Hayward, United States District Attorney, and Congressman F. H. LaGuarda made brief addresses, and Col. Hayward on behalf of a group of friends, presented Mr. Anderson with a gold collector's badge set with a large diamond. Collector Anderson responded, reviewing briefly the history of income taxation, and his former colleague for the Manhattan District which office he filled from 1905 to 1917, being appointed first by President Roosevelt, and serving through former President Taft's Administration,
CAROLINA PYTHIANS OFFER SUGGESTIONS ON NEGRO MIGRATION
Ask Authorities to Relieve Untoward Conditions That Oppress.
(Special to The New York Age)
Greenville, S. C. The migration of thousands of Negroes from this section to various parts of the North and West has aroused the people to serious consideration of the causes, with an effort, to find a remedy.
Nen, a woman of both races are gifted thought to the problem, and are seeking for a method by which the movement of so considerable a body of needed elements of the population can be stopped. The question was taken up by the colored Knights of Pythias here at the annual thanksgiving service held Sunday, March 25, at the Grand Opera House.
Suggestions as to how the people of Greenville may cooperate in assisting to check the migration movement were embodied in a set of resolutions adopted by the Pythians which asked a consideration of several vital matters to be essential to a proper adjustment of the question. The resolutions are as follows.
Whereas, the migration of the Negroes to the North is increasing with the approach of warm weather, and, whereas, much has been said by the press and public speakers in regard to this exodus, and, whereas, the remedies that have been suggested to alleviate the underlying causes of the conditions that causes this unrest have been unheeded.
Be it resolved, that we, the Knights of Pythias and Courts of Lanier in mass meeting assembly representing at least 1,000 homes in the city of Greenville, and acting at first hand the cause of this unrest do ask a consideration of the following:
1st. That the conditions of our schools be looked into by those who are in position to help us, as we feel that they are entirely inadequate as regards both teaching force and facilities. We know that our schools suffer with those of the neighborhood cities of Anderson and Greenwood and consider the splendid educational system of the North, that is one of the causes of the exodus.
2nd. That the care of and improvement of our streets be considered and that at least the side walks of the streets approaching our schools be paved for our children can get to them, ease and present a decent appearance after giving the streets.
3rd. That the law enforcement officers show less aggressiveness in arresting members of our race. Only recently one of our members was severely beaten, and at the trial the cause of the clubbing was not satisfactory explained to the judge.
4th. That the question of wage adjustments be looked into, as it is almost possible for the average colored worker to gain an honorable livelihood with the prices of foodstuff on a pair with 1919 and the wage scale about 75 per cent. off.
Resolved. therefore, that we extend a vote of thanks to Mr. W. P. Conyers for the spacious interview given out by him in the local newspaper sometime ago we feel that there are many more citizens of his type in Greenville.
Resolved further, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the daily press for publication and to the various circle organizations for consideration.
Plurality of 117 Conceded Ansorge
The recount of the ballots cast in the 21st congressional district in the fall election, which has been going on for several weeks, was completed on Tuesday, April 3. According to the recount Congressman Anorasew was reflected by a plurality of 117 conceded votes. The recount gave Anorasew 31,893 votes and Weller 31,776. In addition there were 124 conceded votes to the Committee on Elections in Congress. Congressman Anorase feels certain that these votes will also be givihm.
The recount brought to light many mistakes in the original count, the largest of which were in the 22nd Assembly District, where Anserge made a conceded gain district and the 12th district and of 36 in the 23rd election district. In the latter district Anserge charged that one of his opponent's campaign managers was on the board of elections. The largest single gain, 75 conceded votes, was made in the election district of the 23rd Assembly District.
Whether Anserge or Weller will be seated as the next congressman from the 21st Congressional District will be decided by the Committee on Elections when the 68th Congress meets.
MOTHER ZION CHURCH RAISES $52,885 FOR ALL CHURCH PURPOSES
Mortgage on Church Property Paid—Tenth Year for Dr. Brown.
$52,885/76 was raised for all purposes during the past year by the Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, West 136th street, the Rev. Dr. James Walker Brown, pastor. Mortgages on the church building and on two vacant lots on 137th street were cancelled, and two pieces of improved property, adjoining holdings already in hand, were acquired. There is sufficient money on hand to clear these buildings from debt.
The facts were brought out in the annual report of the trustees, submitted on the Monday of the Corporation meeting on Monday night, April 2, by the secretary, R. B. Henderson.
Michigan C. Brown Makes
Good in Municipal Court
Michigan C. Brown, Republican captain of the 39th election district of the 19th A. D., who was made clerk of the 19th Municipal Court on November 2, 1922, is making a splendid record. He is frequently called upon for advice by persons who have business in that court and it is no infrequent occurrence for him to advise so wisely that cases are sometimes settled by the litigants without being taken before the court. He has been complimented by officials of the court on several occasions for the exceptionally intelligent manner in which he performs the duties of his office.

WILL BRANCH STATE EMPLOYMENT OFFICE BE "JIM CROWED"?
An announcement credited to Bernard L. Sheimag, State Industrial Commissioner, to the effect that a branch State Employment bureau will soon be reestablished in Harlem has aroused considerable interest. A similar bureau operated during the World War, but was afterwards discontinued for lack of funds, it was stated.
Comment on Commissioner Sheimag's announcement is of a varied nature. It is stated that there is to be appointed a superintendent, three assistants and a stenographer, with a total salary budget of $5,000, averaging $1,000 each per annum.
The original bureau was opened in Harlem in 1918 but was discontinued in 1921, under orders from Gov. Miller.
A sifting of comment on the proposed reopening brings to light considerable criticism of the proposition. While it is said that a number of positions for deserving workmen were secured, it is asserted that the bureau, during its previous existence, did not really operate to the advantage of the class it was designed to serve. As a matter of fact, it is pointed out that it really served to separate the colored workmen into a definite and particular class, preventing him from finding openings in fields not formerly occupied by Negro labor.
Jim Crow Adjunct
In emphasizing this particular feature, a prominent Harlemite said that locating an employment office in Harlem, with its scope of operation definitely limited to Negro labor, really served to establish a jim crow adjunct to the State Employment Bureau, located at 120 East 28th street, of which Mr. Sheintag is the head. Defining this charge the speaker said that if the position bureau would be required to head the team, it would frequently be possible to offer Negro labor opportunities now limited to whites, and which would continue in that category if Negro labor was taken care of in a separate bureau, far removed from the main office. For instance, said he, the down town office would receive a call for a larger number of white laborers than were immediately available. In many cases, if information was available Negro labor was as possible it would be possible to provide the number of laborers involved with the remitive number of colored men. But with the colored branch located in Harlem, such opportunities would be lost.
Doubt Its Usefulness.
Another question brought up by the Harlem citizen, whose opinions have been quoted above, is that it is doubtful whether such a bureau functions effectively. He declared that when the bureau was previously in operation, it to a large extent acted as a meeting place for a majority of folks who were not likely to legitimate business with the bureau. In other words, he alleges that the office became a sort of resort or lounging place for the intimates and associates of those employed in the bureau.
Another query concerning the opening of the proposed bureau is as follows: or not there is a meet or a bureau that cannot be served by locating office down town in the state headquarters. The employment situation in Harlem, he declared, does not require the opening of a state employment agency; such labor as is seeking work will be more effectively served by a central bureau a sword be created if the proposed Negro employment branch agency is located in the East 28th street
quarter. It is said that a committee of Harleen citizens called on Commissioner Sheintan and requested the restoration of the Harleen bureau, and it is reported that he informed a member of that committee that an item had been placed in the Industrial Commission budget to provide for the expense of operating the branch.
Vandals Prevent Negro Family From Living in L. I. Home
Vandals Prevent Negro Family From Living in L. I. Home
Roosevelt, L. I.-John Stevenson, a Negro taxicab driver, who purchased a house at 75 Stevens street, which he had not taken occupancy of, has abandoned any idea he may have had of doing so after a series of occurrences which are yet to be solved, and disposed of the property to Charles Green, white, of Freeport, white folks of the neighborhood are credited with having forced Stevenson to sell out, declaring they would not have a Negro family living on that street.
Soon after Stevenson bought the property, windows in the house were wrecked by bricks. Next the house was set afire, it is claimed, by the use of keroseno and gasoline for the taxi driver and a "For Sale" plan was decided on. This Grand Jury at Minneapolis is expected to investigate the acts of vandalism.

The coldest Easter in the history of New York's Weather Bus reau could not chill the religious ardor of thousands of worshippers who thronged the aisles and chancels of houses of worship to rejoice and praise Jehovah on the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ from the tomb.
The sun was bright and glittering, and its beams scintillated and danced in an effort to bring warmth to the wintry ar, but the hearts of the people soorned the falling thermometer and found reason for joyous celebration in the fact that it was on this day, centuries ago, that the Son of God attuated the sinn of death and brought to a sin-wracked world a pledge of redemption from paying the penalty that attached to its transgressions.

First Emmanuel Church
A most wonderful and glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at First Emmanuel Church on Easter Sunday. In the morning Pastor Bolden preached to a packed house. He delivered a forceful message upon three dogmas that are found in the sacred scriptures. These dogmas are Reality the Father God; the Reality Hell; the Reality Resurrection. Though his discussions and arguments were condensed, yet the vase group assembled received with enthusiasm the illuminating thoughts. He said that "God is seen everywhere manifesting himself in the phrenominal world. His benevolence and imminence are felt by all, both believers and unbelievers." The thought of there being such a place had always been in the mind of human beings. The idea of it is clearly seen in nature, in moral realism and in social organism
Easter Services in Churches Of Manhattan and Brooklyn
Whether it is to be regarded as a place a state of being or an unhappy condition in the mind does not destroy the Intent and idea of a perdition, infernal regions, lower world or Hell. Only wicked people would like to do away with it. For they are the only ones who should have any fear of it. The sacred scriptures abound with thoughts declaring its existence and our Lord Jesus Christ not only declared but proved its reality." As regards the resurrection, the natural order speaks in clearest tones the truth of its manifestation and nobody but a fool, who observes what it is going on now this season of the year in nature, would say that resurrection in nature would be individualistic. If it spirit of an animal does this the kingdom of the natural realm, it is quite evident that he domination of human beings is given at least similar power. But I declare unto you that our Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection is typical of what ours may be, if we believe in him as our Lord and Saviour. He, the Emmanuel, gives us eternal life, and our resurrection will be a bodily one."
At this service, the Holy Communion was served, and Mrs. Jerusha Sisco of Oyster Bay was ordained a deaconess of the Emmanuel Church. Mrs. Sarah Logans and Mrs. Hattie Caldwell, two of the founders of the church, unveiled the Emmanuel Church charter.
At the close of the morning service Pastor Bolden presented the emblem of Christ, on the cross to each member of the choir, which they are to wear at each religious service. Pastor Bolden gave to the church a large Bible for the pulpit, in memory of his deceased wife, Mrs. Medora E. Bolden.
The Sunday-school was largely attended. Bolos quartets piano solos and recitations were rendered by the children. A presentation was made to Miss Maggie Johnson for her uniting effort in rehearsing the children, which she has always done willingly.
The Literary Society convened at the usual hour. The Missionary Society had charge of the program, with Miss Theresa Greene as mistress of ceremonies.

'Abyssinian Baptist Church.
The first Easter services in the new and magnificent church building on West 138th street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues, of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, were attended by congregations that overflowed the lecture room of the edifice, which has a beating capacity of more than a thousand. Many were turned away.
The floral decorations consisted of kue flowers, potted plants, etc., and included a beautiful palm, sent as an Easter gift by M. K. Miller, president of the Miller-Reed Co., the builders of the new building. There were no decorations supplied by the Floral Circle, that body deciding to use the money instead toward completing and finishing the building.
The choir, under direction of John H. Page, rendered special music at both services, the program including colors by Mrs. Lucy Henson, "The Resurrection," and by John H. Page, "Swing low, sweet chariot;" with three anthems: "Come see the place where the Lord lay," (Stainer), "Awake and sing the song" (Hammond), and "Te Deum," (Fitzhugh).
At the morning service, the pastor, Dr. Powell, preached on "The Resurrection of the Body." In the afternoon, the Sunday-school phlogram was in charge of Mrs. Octavia Gettine. At night, the assistant pastor, Rev. Payne, preached on "The Sign of the Resurrection."
The offerings during the day totalled $5,192.27, the largest amount raised at one service in the long history of the church. Thirty-five persons united with the church during the day. Contributions to the building fund were in from various parts of the country, the donors including Col. William Hayward, former commander of the "Old 15th New York"; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, of St. Luke's Bank, Richmond, Va.; Dr. Thomas L. Ballou of Atlanta, Ga.; and Dr. James L. Wilson of New York City.
S4. Paul Baptist Church
Hichore-beth the Lord helped us. We拜拜. A wonderful success in our service. A service for the thirtieth anniversary of the church was ended last Friday night by Rev. W. H. A. Booker, associate pastor of St. Paul Baptist Church, who came down from Colgate, College.
In the wonderful Easter morn this church was jammed. The pastor, Rev. H. Arthur-Booker, preached on the Resurrection. The people were greatly
pleased and although the wind blew the people did not forget to parade. The men were in new suits and overcoats, the women wearing the new pretty Bonnette, cloaks and dresses, the boys putting on new knitwearbears and long pants, the girls their two and three piece suits, and the little lots in their little frocks as pretty as could be. After the service a baby was prayed for. The Sundayschool had its Easter exercises at 1 o'clock. The exercises were well attended and children recited, sang and acted nicely.
The evening service was well attended and the associate pastor again preached on "The Death and Suffering and Resurrection of Christ." The church was well benefited. The choir rendered splendid Easter music under their directress, Mra. H. A. Booker and Mme. V. E. Scott, organist. A solo was sung by, Miss Gertrude Youngblood and a triby by Misses Julia and Lula Booker and Miss G. Youngblood. We are glad to, have back with us the B. Y. P. U.'s president Misa Lillian Washington, who has been quite ill.
Rush Memorial'Church
On Easter Sunday, April 1, an overflowing congregation attended the 11 o'clock services. Not only was every space seated taken, but all standing space was occupied, and we returned away. At the opening of services two infants were christened.
A powerful and eloquene as well as uplifting sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. Dr. G. M. Oliver. His text was taken from a part of St Mark 10,6. He is risen. He is not here. He told them how Christ had foresaid "As Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days, so must the Son of man remain in the hollow of the earth for three days." At the close of the sermon it appeared evident that everyone had been touched by what he had said. The pastor closed with a strong appeal and seven people came forward and joined.
A beautiful Easter program was rendered by the Sunday-school at 2 p. m.
Communion services were held at 3 p. m.
The Christian Endeavor held its usual meeting at 6 p. m.
A beautiful cantata was rendered by the choir at night, and preaching was omitted.
The trustees reported $405,62, as having been taken up during the week.
St. Luke's Episcopal Mission
St. Luke's Episcopal Mission
Easter Sunday at St. Luke's Mission,
Rev. Scott Wood, vicar, was indeed a
glorious day. The day was clear, the
weather considerably moderated, and
the congregation and friends packed
the mission. Every available space
was occupied, people stood throughout
the service on the side walk. The altar
was beautifully decorated with Easter
lilies sent from Bermuda for the occasion.
The services began at 6:30 with celebration
of the holy communion, at which time
105 persons communicated. The
second celebration took place at 8 a.m.
at which 70 persons communed, and
at the high choral celebration, when
the splendid choir excelled themselves,
78 persons communed, making a total
for the day of 253 who received the
Blessed Sacrament.
The Rev. Dr. Scott Wood was at his best. He preached from St. Matthew 29th chapter, 6th verse "He is not here, for He is risen as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay." He said the sweet Easter-tide ushered in today, tells of the new life, the resurrection; tells of the resurrection of the body from the grave and of the mind and soul and from all that is vile refuse; all that is low unworthy—all that is stale, flat and unprofitable. Even the flowers seem to whisper. Seek those things which are above," showed that the resurrection of Jesus Christ was the one vital point in the Christian creed. Boldly he declared that if there is no resurrection then there is no hope beyond the grave. We should have no fear of death now and henceforth because our Lord and Master passed through the gate of death, conquered death, and today we rejoice in His glorious resurrection. So we sing.
"Welcome happy morning.
Age to Age will sing.
Hell today is vanquished.
Heaven is won today."
At 8 p. m., the mission was again filled.
The service was high choral.
Never before have we heard such singing on Easter night. The vicar spoke on "The Resurrection," which should take place in our lives.
The offering was not all in but it was well up in the hundreds.
Easter Monday night Mrs. Augusta Brown and a committee of ladies gave the vicar a reception and high tea to which the congregation and many of the vicar's friends were invited. It was a most happy occasion. The Mission's guild rooms were filled with a happy throng all eager to make the event the grand success it was. Among those present were Fred R. Moore, Mrs. C. Miller and sister, Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. Maria Lawton of Brooklyn, Mrs. Anderson Pratt, Mrs. R. Wilson, Mrs. A Guardine, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Reid, Rev. and Mrs. N. P. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs. Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. Marks, Robere Crumpler and Benjamin Langston Berry, Attorney T. B. Dyett, Dr. Gustavus Henderson, Revs. W. W. Brown, R. M. Bolden, George F. Miller, Robere W. Bagnall, L. H. Berry, F. A. Cullen, Dr. McCullen, Rev. G. W. Allen, Dean L. B. Moore, Rev. A. C. Garner and many others.
St. James Presbyterian
Many people were turned away from St. James Presbyterian Church last Sunday on account of lack of seating capacity, notwithstanding that extra seats were placed in every available space. Dr. Hyder occupied his pupil morning and evening. The subject treated at eleven o'clock was "The doctrine of Substitution as it is related to faith in

Jesus Christ." The pastor made an unended argument urging the necessity of accepting Jesus by faith as the Son of God with a commission, from the Psalm to serve all who will believe and turn from sin. Dr. Hyder closed his parson with a holdful interpretation of psychanalysis and said that Jesus anticipated the place this science would take in the mental and spiritual development of the human race, when he taught in the Scriptures that the only way to secure peace of soul war to confess sin.
The application of the sermon brought
eleven persons to their feet and each
one came forward and joined the church.
These infants were beheaded.
The Easter music under the direction of Mrs. A. Thorne and Mme. Leah Kate Waller was the most inspiring and devotional during the present pastorate of eight years. Mme. Hattie King Revia, who has just returned from Europe, was the soloist.
At the evening service the Lord's Supper, and baptism were celebrated. The church gave the right hand of fellowship to nine new members and welcomed them to communion. Two were baptized.
The Easter floral decorations left nothing to be desired. At the conclusion of the night service the flowers were sent to the sick of the community. The plate collection for the day amounted to $255.72.
Rendall Mem. Presbyterian
Rendall Mem. Presbyterian
A large and appreciative congregation turned out last Sunday morning at the Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church. The choir was at its best and the pastor gave a thoughtful and eloquent discourse on "The Christian Climax Assurance."
Among other things he said:
"Assurance is a natural requisition of man for undertaking and persuas to the end. It is fundamental in the endeavors of human affairs. Man wants to know the results before he starts; he wants to see the end from the beginning.
"Assurance is imperative in man's religious affairs. It is most natural that man would want some assurance for the reward held out to him for compliance with conditions so contrary to his nature, and upon which he is to stake his eternal future. Christ has been invincible from Bethlehem to Gethsamene. If with Calvary's scene the curtain falls, God's promise to Abraham is broken; the prophets are all liars, and Christ the greatest imposter ever lived. He went to the grave like a man, but came out of the tomb a God, with power and blessings to save to the intermest and to give joy and pleasure unspeakable to those who believed on Him."
The Sunday-school, under the management of Counsellor J. B. Thorne, presented an interesting program at 5 p.m.
The Christian Endeavor gave an inspiring program at 5 p.m.
spring program
At 8 p. m. the choir rendered a number of selections in a pleasing style, followed by a short address by the pastor. Five persons were added to the membership of the church.
On Sunday, April 1, the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. E. Church were extended by vast congregations.
At the morning service, the large and fortifluent was filled to its utmost capacity, standing room being at a premium, both downstairs and in the galleries. Rev. Norman Holmes executive secretary of the Lincoln Settlement House, was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a powerful and thrilling sermon, eminently befitting the occasion. Text: St. Luke, 32nd chapter, and 24th verse. Theme "Reality and sadness of disappointment."
In the evening the choir, under Prof. E. A. Jackson, gave a beautiful rendition of "Elijah."
The pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks is still confined to his home by illness, but is making satisfactory gains to recovery.
After the morning service the choir marched into his apartment adjoining the church and, sang appropriate selections, concluding with the hymn "My peace I leave with thee."
The pastor enjoyed the singing very much and feelingly thanked the singers. Easter was fittingly observed in every department throughout the day. The church was beautifully decorated with Easterillies, palms and cut flowers by the Floral Circle. The Sunday-school was largely attended and the collection far above the average. The special Easter services were beautifully conducted, the singing being led by the chorister, Miss Minnie Brown. The exercises of the Epworth League were largely attended and an excellent program rendered. Mrs. Martha Scott was in charge. There was a large attendance at the Lyceum and a special Easter program rendered which was very favorably received. Dinnir was served in the Church House under the auspices of the Sunday-school.
St. Mark's Lyceum.
An Easter program resembling the days when St. Mark's Lyceum was about the only literary organization in the city, was presented in that organization last Sunday afternoon. The exercises were in charge of President John E. Robinson, and the following numbers appeared: Anthem, "The Lord is Risen Indeed" (Foote); Invocation, bw Chaplain Egbert B. Dougan; Chorus, "Thanks Be To God" (Lorenz) Quartet, "He Rose," members of Choral; Address, "Easter's Light on Business," B. F.

Salem Church and Lyceum
SALEM CHURCH and LYCEUM
Easter Sunday, 1923, was one of the most interesting days in the history of Salem M. E. Church. The church building could not accommodate the masses who sought to take part in the day's service and hundreds were turned away. The pastor, Rev. F. E. Cullen, preached a splendid Easter sermon, and the choir rendered special music.
Holy communion was served to 610 persons at the Easter celebration

Union Baptist Church.
The Easter services at Union Baptist Church were indeed in keeping with the occasion. The church had just closed what was known as a home revival, which was very successful. There were large crowds each evening, and a number of converts. On Thursday ten were immersed and on Good Friday special communion services were held, but Sunday morning was the climax. After the choir had occupied its space in full force and every available seat had been taken by the members and their friends our pastor delivered his

Buster nomen from the text: "He is not here, but is Risen." All who beard it will agree that it is, was, one of the best sermons we have been pleased to hear on the Resurrection.
At the clipe of the sermon Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Warren had their baby presented to the Lord. Mrs. Mary Banks and Harold Mattws stood sponsors for the child.
The restrum was indeed a Flower garden and great credit is due the committee who so artistically arranged them.
At 2 P. M. the Sunday. School was out in a large body under Supt. Johnson. After the teaching of the lesson an excellent program was rendered. The orations, recitation, dialogue, instruments solo and chorus were very commendable indeed.
The B. Y. P. U. at 5.30 was the scene of a very helpful and interesting discussion on the Resurrection, preceding the picturecantec cantata in which about fifty boys and girls took part under the direction of Mrs. Ancaster Reed.
At the evening services the choir under
Prof. W. A. Calhoun spent an hour
in entertaining us with a beautiful pro-
gram, carefully arranged with thought
of the occasion. The soloists were Miss
Cordalia Patterson, Miss Kate Terry
and Miss Cornelia Dickerson. The
quartet by Harold Matthews, Bro. John,
Miss Cornelia-Dickerson and John
Scott was really worthy of much praise.
Following the program the pastor del-
ivered a sermonette from the subject:
"The Living Christ." Thirty-one new
members were fellowshipped during the
day.
The offering amounted to $640.95.
Mt. Olivet Baptist Church.
The Easter program at Mt. Olivet
Baptist Church, Rev. Wm. P. Hayes,
passor, began with an enthusiastic
summe prayer meeting which was
largely attended.
The floral decorations were the most beautiful ever witnessed at Mt. Olivet. They consisted of Easter lilies, hyacinth, chrysanthemums, roses, geraniums, snap dragons, palms and a large horse shoe of flowers immediately after the pulpit.
The services at 11 a.m. were most impressive. One of the largest crowds that ever attended an Easter service in Mt. Olivet was in evidence last Sunday. The pastor preached the Easter sermon at the morning service, using a text Aces 26 B. subject, "The Reasonableness of the Resurrection."
At 2 p.m. Mrs. Mattie Burge, teacher of Class No. 1 was in charge of the program of the Sunday-school, and tendered an exceptionally interesting Easter program.
At 5:30 p.m. the B. Y. P. U. under the supervision of L. F. Dyer, rendered a beautiful program.
The evening service was in charge of the senior choir, L. F. Dyer, director. The sacred cantata, "The Severn Last Words" (Dubois), was presented with telling effect. The soloists were Miss Olive P. Hopkins, soprano Charles H. Simmons, tenor, and T. A. Hebbons, baritone.
Six new members united with the church during the day, and the offering amounted to $651.52.
Special musical numbers rendered at the musical services included a violin solo, Maria (Schubert) by Malachi Ward; and a Miss Olive P. Hopkins, soprano, and Chas. Simmons, tenor, and ensemble number by choir: "God hath appointed the day" (Tours); "The heavens are telling" (Haydn); "Lights glittering morn becked the sky" (Parker); and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from "Messiah" (Haendel).
Newman Mem. Church.
Easter Sunday marked the close of the conference year for Newman Memorial M. E. Church, Russell place and Herkimer street, Brooklyn, and so Rev. T. W. Cooper preached his last sermons before leaving for the annual conference which opened at Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, April 3. Good congregations were present at both church services, and at the Sunday-school exercise which was held at 6:30 p. m.
Special music was rendered by the choir, under direction of L. H. White, organist-chormaster. The rendition included "I will mention the loving-kindness (Sullivan) will extol Thee" (Costa), and "Harkel Harkel my soul" (Shelley) with Mrs. Freeda Brooks, soprano, and Mrs. Gertrude Hodge, contralto, as soloists.
On Monday night, April 2, the Brooklyn Sunday-school Union, 10th district, held its meeting at Newman Memorial
(By L. Hollingsworth Wood).
Being a report of a visit made in March, 1921, by E.-K. Jones, executive secretary, and L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman of the National Urban League, so its branches in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Louisville, St. Louis, Kansas City, Misty Chicago, Detroit, and Chicago together with Council of Social Arrests at Ruffalo
INTEREST: The interest in the question which our present attitude of mind tends to arouse where we have large populations of Negroes in our cities was clearly evidenced to us as we met with groups throughout our journey.
First of all, in the colleges we found the classes in sociology, community living, etc, giving intelligent study to this question and the short talks which we were able to make before such classes were received with every evidence of the deepest attention.
Mr. Jones addressed two classes, one at the Margaret Morrison College of Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh, and the other at the University of Pittsburgh; and Mr. Jones and Mr. Wood addressed classes at the Junior College in Kansas City.
Everywhere we went employed managers were anxious to meet us and some eight or ten of them attended the dinner at the William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh. Social workers and the secretaries of the community funds or chests were all of them eager to find out from us any information as to the general situation and to answer our questions as to the particular city in which their work brought them in contact with the community problems.
INDUSTRIAL SITUATION: We found no unemployment anywhere. Pittsburgh had brought into one district alone some five thousand in the last month and said they could absorb twenty-five thousand in the district if they could get them. There was no unemployment in Columbus or St. Louis or Kansas City; in fact, even men usually classed as "unemployable" were being used. Chicago, Detroit, and Cleveland were all leager looking for men and could absorb from five to thirty thousand.
MIGRATION: The migration seemed so far to be most felt at Pittsburgh. In Detroit the newcomers were mostly being met by members of their families or friends who had established themselves in Detroit. There were a number of colored faces in the crowd waiting the arrival of the trains in the Detroit station. John C. Dancy, executive secretary, Detroit Urban League, on Sunday counted eighty-three newcomers from the Cincinnati train and still only two or three applications for assistance in getting jobs had reached the office of the Urban League.
We heard rumors of attempted restrictions placed by the various communities. One Pittsburgh man told us of an attempt to bring back the white labor employer who had brought up some five hundred men from North Carolina as being subject to a fine of $500 and six months imprisonment. J. T. Clark of the Pittsburgh Urban League showed us stocks of letters from colored men in the South in response to a reported interview with him in one of the Negro papers. He reported that he had received four hundred letters from Savannah alone, and from Macon, Ga., we also heard many had come.
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES: Housing opportunities were being insisted upon by our representatives and advice was given in regard to suitable clothing for a more rigorous climate. One district near Pittsburgh had had quite a number of deaths from pneumonia, so many in fact that they were not willing to publish it. We found that the more constructive-minded personnel managers were endeavoring to promote the increase in steady family groups
Church, and held election of officers. Preceding the election, a special musical program was rendered by the Newman choir; a delegation from Berean Baptist Church, Dean street, which included a small orchestra in the group; and others of the schools and churches represented, both colored and white. Of the thirty-five schools holding membership in the district, fourteen were represented.
and were thinking of, and in spite must actually, constructing houses for them with this end in view. In Kansas the spread of the more prosperous Nigro home purchasers into the residential district was causing some controversy. Bombing and property owners committees were in evidence.
INCIDENTS: We had interesting experiences in many places. Mr. Liguria director of the Community Churches, Louisville, told us a story of being disturbed on his sleeping porch as a boy playing in the street and who he called to go away they did they were colored boys and had no playground. And his cousin with him there were plenty of white playgrounds.
An interesting experience was the meeting with the charming colored bear in Chicago who showed us a number of properties, took us to his home and encouraged us with the general interest in the whole problem of community welfare.
A radio program in the beautiful town of a colored member of the Cleveland City Council with an interesting report of the helpfulness of the cooperative spirit in overcoming prejudice and another charming incident, while the frequent requests for the service of our secretaries in political campaign, either as candidates or speakers, gave evidence of the real position of respect in the communities which they have anointed. Perhaps the incident which stands most vividly is our experience at the Junior College in Kansas City, where a group of young women from seventh to nineteen years of age, who had been studying the life of various groups in Kansas City, were reporting on the investigations into the life of the Nerma people.
It was inspiring to see their enthusiasm for what was evidently a perfectly known situation. One of the speakers asked these young white women if they had a friend or acquaintance in a girl of similar age in a colored group of whose life and ambitions she had hand knowledge as a friend. We learned later that the girls after our departure had asked their leader to get a touch with a similar colored group that they might avail themselves of the privilege of such friendship.
In spite of three spouses a day before white and colored, as well as mixed audiences and ten nights on sleep care, the trip in retrospect stands on with great high spots of encouragement that we are on the right road and the response of men and women of bet races to the challenge of our cooperative program all along the line was a great incentive to expand the organization to a still greater number of cities.

OPPORTUNITY AT TUSEKEGEE
On a tract of three hundred acres of ground, donated by uskeegee Institute, the United States Government established a hospital containing six hundred beds, to be devoted to the task of caring for disabled colored soldiers who were wounded or otherwise disabled in the World War. The care and treatment of these invalids and their restoration to health and vigor, so that they may regain their ability to work and support themselves and their dependents, is primarily a task that should appeal to the physicians and nurses of their own race. President Harding has agreed to this view of the matter and colored nurses and physicians have been instructed to apply to the Civil Service Commission for proper blanks to arrange for examinations.
During the war there was a manifest reluctance on the part of the government to utilize the services of our physicians and nurses to the full extent available. Physicians and demisses were finally accepted in limited numbers and a few were sent for service overseas. But the colored nurses were sturdily refuted in their efforts to minister to the needs of the soldiers and none of the large number who volunteered, was accepted for service on the other side. In the establishment of the Tuskegee Himalayan an exceptional opportunity has been presented to allow these nurses to perform the service that they desired to give during the war. The propriety and capability of securing these nurses for an institution of this kind, located in the State of Alabama, is so obvious as to comment itself to all those associated with the situation.
As a matter of fact this government hospital, designed for the care and rehabilitation of the disabled and suffering exhibitors of the race, should be manned and conducted by colored physicians and nurses. Their competency and efficiency for the various positions to be filled should be established by rigid but fair examinations held for that purpose. The technical requirements of the positions thus being complied with, the colored appointees can be relied upon to bring to their task a quality of sympathy and interested concern impossible to others.
This quality of service in ministering to the needs of the men who were broken and maimed in the service of the nation, will be stimulated and sustained by the close proximity of the hospital to Tuskegee Institute. The moral influence of the Tuskegee spirit can be counted upon as an active and powerful factor in keying the hospital staff up to concert pitch.
No other method of running this hospital would seem to be compatible with the needs of the service it is expected to render to the race. Neither politics nor prejudice should be allowed to enter into its administration, nor to hamper or destroy its usefulness. The opportunity to render proper service to the ex-soldiers of the race through the employment of qualified members of the race, should not be allowed to slip. It is a national debt that should be paid promptly and fully.
STATE LABOR BUREAU
The requesting of a branch of the State Labor Bureau in Harlem to furnish a medium between the employers of labor and workers seeking employment would be a good thing, if it did not involve the segregation of colored labor. As we understand it, the Harlem office is devoted solely to the securing of employment for Negro workers and filling the demands of employers who are seeking that class of labor. At the principal office of the bureau in the lower part of the city, no attention is given to colored applicants and they are referred to the Harlem office. White applicants are not expected to go to the latter place, as their wants are considered at the principal office.
Now this lien of separation in employment as administered by the State is all wrong. It is provocative of wrongful discrimination among the workers and involves a wasteful expenditure of State funds in maintaining a dual organization. If a branch office is needed in the Harlem section, for the convenience of workers and employers, it should be conducted entirely without reference to the color of
the applicants. All races and colors should be served equally in all office maintained by the State bureau. The Negroes should have proper representation in the personnel of the bureau and the policy pursued by it should be to advise employers to take the kind of labor desired irrespective of color. An assistant superintendent and a man and woman of the race specially qualified to deal with the question of Negro labor would help serve the purpose aimed at through this bureau.
The division of the laboring forces on the lines of race or color is unwise in practice and indefensible in theory. It should not be aided on abetted by the State in the conduct of this bureau, or in the setting up of separate branches. It is also bad politics which will react in the end on those authorities who are responsible for this segregation. The sooner the interests of labor are recognized and treated as one, irrespective of color, the better it will be for the worker and for the employer. The segregation and ostracism of any class of workers on account of race or color is harmful to the interests of all. The State should not encourage such a policy of discrimination.
HARLEM'S TAXI CRAZE
Interested observers in the streets of Harlem have commented with concern upon the numerous taxicabs that have been cruising of late in that locality. And this fleet of motor craft, some with yellow bodies and some painted in other colors, find profitable pickings on Lenox and Seventh avenues, and the cross streets. Those familiar with the subject of fares and passengers, claim that Harlem is a richer field for these cruisers, than many of the sections further downtown.
The reason for this influx of yellow taxies is attributed to the prevalent craze for riding in motor vehicles on the part of many of the colored residents or sojourners in Harlem. No matter how short the distance, or how fine the weather for walking, the confirmed victim of the taxi habil awaits a vehicle displaying a "for hire" flag and hops in, if only to ride a block or two to the subway station. And it is not only the aged and infirm, or those afflicted with bunions or fallen arches, who display this indisposition to exercise. Stalwart youths and sprightly maidens exhibit their agility in getting on board the yellow cruisers, while their elders follow their example at a slower gait but with equal determination to ride around.
This persistent and seemingly aimless taxi riding means the expenditure of considerable small changes, as the taxi drivers are not in the business for their health alone and their business is done on the "cash and carry" plan. Needless extravagance is the comment of the interest observer, who likes to see how the other half lives and then go and tell about it. "Vry likely it is in most cases, but what is the compelling motive that urges most of these riders to spend their substance in riding around in taxi cabs?" The student of psychology may tell us that it is a complex of some sort or another, due to the fact that many of these riders at some period were denied the opportunity to ride as they desired.
Let us hope that the craze may in the fullness of time be abated and the money thus wasted put to more useful purposes.
In an editorial entitled "The Only Ones," the Chicago Whit deprecated the practice of individual housing over the fact of winning exceptional recognition among whites. It said:
When black people are fortunate enough to get in positions and environments that are barred to their race as a whole the only lasting benefit that can ensure to them is to conduct themselves that respect will be engendered for their race, and openings made possible for others to enter. While it is admitted that black people must perform just a bit better in these much coveted spheres than the white people, unless they break down some of the general barriers that are placed before their people, they have done little service for themselves and certainly nothing that should cause them to be related.
In most the cases cited the individuals who have won exceptional recognition, have performed pioneer service in demonstrating the capacity of the race for advancement. Their success is one means of educating public sentiment to a better knowledge of the race.
According to the Nashville Globe, the National Baptist Publishing Board has provided its employees with life insurance to the amount of five hundred dollars each, as an evidence of appreciation of their loyalty and cooperation. It added:
The insurance remains in force as long as the employee continues with the company. It is without expense of any kind to the individual covered, the entire cost being borne by the National Baptist Publishing Board, and this in addition to whatever other benefits may be provided by the State Workmen's Compensation. One of the novel features of this plant is that no medical examination is required. The employee names his beneficiary in the same manner as he would under an ordinary policy, and has the privilege of changing this person from time to time, as circumstances, may demand.
This is an example of a liberal and up to date policy by a race organization in dealing with its employees, which should ensure goodwill and good service.

THIS CIVILIZED LAND.
The country is being aroused by the recent exposure made in the New York "World" on peonage conditions in Florida. The case taken by the "World" was that of a white farmer boy who started out from his home in North Dakota to "see the world." This boy, Martin Talbert, belonged to a well known family in Cavalier County, North Dakota. His father is the owner of a five-hundred acre farm. Martin started out with some money in his pocket but he determined to work his way as far as possible and save his money for emergencies. He did very well until he struck Florida where a period o fhard luck exhausted his supply of money.
On the 15th of December, 1921, Martin was arrested by a deputy sheriff in Leon County, Florida, for stealing a ride on a freight train. He was taken before a magistrate and fined twenty-five dollars or, in lieu of payment, sentenced to serve ninety days. He was, of course, unable to pay the fine, but he wired home to his father for fifty dollars. His father immediately sent him by registered letter seventy-five dollars. A week or so later the registered letter was returned to Mr. Tabert marked "Returned by request of the sheriff; party gone." The father felt the boy had found some way to get out of his difficulty and ceased to worry about the matter.
In July, 1922 a man named Glen Thompson wrote the following letter addressed to the postmaster of Munich North Dakota:
"Would you please find out whether the parents or kinsfolk of Martin Tabert know, or care to know, the particulars of Martin's death in February in this year? I was an eyewitness in the boy's death and I am doubting whether any particulars were sent to the folks."
This was the first intimation that the Taberts had had of the death of their son. They immediately got in communication with Glen Thompson and through him, with a number of other persons, learned how the boy met his death.
When Martin could not pay his fine he had to take the ninety-day sentence and he was immediately leased out for that period to a big Lumber company, under the Florida convict lease system. There he was compelled to do the sort of work that these companies which lease convicts would not be able to hire free labor to do. He was compelled to work very often waist deep in swampy water and was fed and housed in a way that no North Dakota farmer would feed and house his domestic animals. He was given a pair of rough convict shoes to wear which were too small for his feet and caused them to swell painfully. In a little while he was weakened by fevers and was hardly able to keep on his feet.
The overseer complained that Martin was slow at this work, so the boy was handed over to the whipping boss for the purpose of being sped up. The whipping boss gave him fifty lashes with a seven and a half pound strap, and a few days later the boy died. When the Taberts got the full facts they placed the matter in the hands of the District Attorney in their county, who took it up and pushed a vigorous investigation. This investigation has laid bare the cruel and inhuman prison practice of Florida and has shed a glaring light upon our so-called civilization. It was brought out in the investigation that the company pays to the State a small monthly wage for all able-bodied prisoners turned over to them. It was also brought out that the sheriff got a rake-off on each man turned over to the company. This latter fact accounts for the sheriff's action in returning the registered letter which contained the money which would have secured Martin's release.
This case has brought about an unprecedented situation. The matter has been taken up by the legislature of North Dakota and that body has called upon the State of Florida to take action to avenge the death of Martin Tabert. The people of Florida have been humiliated at least by this exposure and the Governor of that state has declared that he will call upon the legislature to abolish the conflict lease system. If this is done, the exposure made by the "World" will be one of the greatest feats for public good ever performed by a newspaper.
But after all the case of Martin Talbert is unique only because it is the case of a white man taken no and harassed by a great newspaper. This case of Talbert, as terrible as it is, could be matched and out-matched by the cases of thousands of Negroes who have suffered and died under the systems of convict labor and peonage. It ought to be a difficult thing for the American people to realize if under the Florida convict lease system a white boy of intelligence, of education and from a family able to furnish him with money, could be so treated for the offense of stealing a ride on a freight train, that hundreds and even thousands of poor, ignorant and defenseless Negroes have been treated far worse for lesser offenses. Indeed, such a system as the Florida convict lease system reduces the office of the sheriff in most of the counties of the state to that of slave catcher. It becomes his profitable business to get his hands on as many able-bodied men as possible and turn them over to the companies that hire convict labor.
A dispatch from Paris in Sunday's newspapers states that France and England are very much wrought up over evidences that have been discovered of a lively slave trade being carried on in Africa. But if Africa can show anything that approaches what is being daily carried on in Florida and a half dozen other Southern states we would be willing to volunteer ninety days of personal service in the camp where Martin Tabert was confined. The cases of Martin Tabert and of thousands of innocent Negroes whose cases have never been heard of demand that the brutal and inhuman system of forced convict labor and peonage be abolished in the United States.
· PRISON-CONDITIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
While the New York "World" is making a nation-wide exposure of the Florida convict lease system, the Columbia "State" is making an exposure of local prison conditions in South Carolina. A recent issue of that newspaper carried two photographs—one of a colored man strapped up by the hands ready to be whipped. The caption under this picture reads:
"In special whipping room: showing present methods of securing prisoners and the whipping strap. It should be remembered prisoners are stripped before the punishment is administered."
The other photograph shows a colored woman with her hands in stocks. The caption under this picture reads:
"Stocks for women. Negro woman in stocks used for whipping. Women prisoners are stripped to the waist for whippings which are administered by men. The strokes from the lash here can be heard and counted by persons on the yard 200 feet away."
The American people have grown so used to cruelties and brutalities that their consciences have become numb. A person
from a really civilised country would imagine that a case of photographs and captions in down of hundreds of def in the Arkansas massacre, stake of human beings, wou action in the United States to such practices.
But that is not the case atrocities that arouse righteo are those which happen in a nighted land.
When the writer was a far enough to begin to have a United States was the most free to the most free and glorious he also found out, incidentally an autocratic king lorded it so did not dare stand up for the grown up and learned some the we have found out that the lab has very little to do with the also learned in particular that monarchy, is one of the freest.

The recent death of Henry F. Krehbiel, the eminent musical authority and critic, was said to have eoked the comment from a fellow newspaper writer that his must have been a monotonous career, from the fact that he was obliged to write on the same subject all the time. One who knew the musical critic more intimately took issue with this remark and maintained that Mr. Krehbiel was so in love with his subject, that he found something new in every phase of it that demanded his attention. His zeit and interest in his work were never lagging, no matter how hackneyed the theme.
This unflagging allegiance that the arts demanded from their votaries, and especially in the case of music, brought an example that has special significance to members of the race. The fact that Henry T. Burleigh, the well-known baritone singer and composer, recently passed the period of twenty-nine years as soloist of St. George's Church, one of the leading congregations of the Protestant Episcopal communion in New York City, marks a career consecrated to the service of music. When Mr. Burleigh first came to New York as a youth nearly thirty years ago, he brought besides a promising voice, a determination to study and master this art. Securing a scholarship which gave him the advantages of the training he desired, he gained his first public hearing as a member of St. Philip's choir. He soon went from there to St. George's and also sang as soloist for the Jewish Temple Emmanu-El and a Christian Science Congregation.
In addition to these regular engagements Mr. Burleigh has frequently appeared in concert work, besides adding to his labors in the line of teaching and musical composition. The manner in which his voice has maintained its power and quality, despite such constant use, is a testimonial to its original vigor, and his methods of conserving it. In the field of composition Mr. Burleigh has achieved a brilliant reputation, especially by his happy arrangement of Negro spirituals, without losing the spirit of the originals.
The close application of Mr. Burleigh to the subject of music, although along such diversified lines as singer, instructor and composer, is an object lesson in the value of concentration of energy along given lines. His success has been the result of hard study and close application, added to the natural gift of a musical-voice and endowment. But the advantages given him by nature would not have carried him so far, if he had not given them studious and intense cultivation. And, as in the case of the musical critic first cited, Mr. Burleigh has followed his career with a zest and spirit that made his labor itself a reward. Fortune is that man or woman who so loves his vocation as to find pleasure in doing the task set before him. He will master his subject and find his reward in his work.
from a really civilized country, a country, say, like Switzerland, would imagine that a case like the Martin Tabest case, or these photographs and captions in the Columbia "State;" or the shooting down of hundreds of defenseless men and women as happened in the Arkansas massacre, or the torturing and burning as the stake of human beings, would arouse a wave of indignation and action in the United States that would almost immediately abolish such practices.
But that is not the case. The only cruelties, brutalities and atrocities that arouse righteous wrath in the hearts of Americans are those which happen in Turkey or some other so-called benighted land.
FREE SPEECH IN ENGLAND.
A writer was a boy and had gotten along in school, begin to have jammed into his mind the statementaries which pass for facts, he found out that was the most free and glorious democracy, belonging to and glorious people on the face of the earth; about, incidentally, that England was an effete man, a monarchy was a form of government in which king lorded it over a land of cringing subjects we stand up for their rights. Of course, since we have learned some things that are not in school history, but that the label by which a government is known to do with the sort of government it is. We have a particular that England although labelled as one of the freest democracies in the world. Example, the instance that occurred about the mid-18th London. Ramsay Macdonald, the labor member was invited to Buckingham Palace to dine with a invitation caused something of a furore amount of England, and twenty-two members of the king of the Labor Party in Parliament signed expressing their disapproval of the inclination to hobnob with royalty. David Kirkwood, one of his memorial, and one of the labor men who we meet the King at dinner, made the following statement: "Is the pinnacle of the system which some of us are here is not possible for us to fight against those whom he is the same time dine with them." No personal animosity against the King or any member, only, but we are against that for which they stand."
I imagine any man in the United States making a stand getting away with it? There are dozens of men in Leavenworth prison and other federal prisons placed there for remarks which, compared with Kirkwood, were as mild as grape juice compared to key. In fact, there would not be a man in this right senses who would decline an invitation. President and make any such remarks about it. Mr. Daivd Kirkwood. If he did and was arrest, prison, he would become the victim of such an ostracism that life in prison for him would ceasanter than life outside.

In the New York World of last Sunday, Lester A. Walton had a writing article on the Negro colony of Harlem. In it he declared that this section, containing over 150,000 colored persons, has become the world's center of Negro thought. Here are found members of the race from Afrika, Asia, Europe, South and Central America, as well as all parts of the United States, speaking different tongues yet held by a community of interest. Likewise he found the adherents of both the radical and conservative schools of thought, with such political varieties as Republicans and
Democrats, Socialists and Communists and even I. W. W.'s, which stands for Independent Workers of the World, an anarchic organization which has raised some rumpus in the West. While there are a few soapbox and parlor socialists on exhibition in Harlem, we think Mr. Walton threw in the last two varieties merely for good measure.
But the most significant feature of this article was the reference to the failure of the Negro as a race to improve the business opportunities afforded by a population of 150,000 people. As is pointed out in this article these figures exceed the total population of such cities as Nashville, Trenton, Des Moines; almost equal that of Dayton and fall short by a few thousands of Richmond, Birmingham and Atlanta. And yet, as Mr. Walton truly says, "Big business is yet an unknown quantity." He continues:
Harlem's Negro section furnishes a striking illustration of the impotency and ineffectiveness of numbers unless used as a cohesive force. Larger than Nashville, Tenn., or Des Moines, Ia., in population, it is unable to boost of one race bank, dry goods or clothing store. Three months ago the only shoe store conducted under Negro management failed and went into bankruptcy for lack of support.
Mr. Walton finds that group or race consciousness seems more highly developed among foreign born Negroes. He says that West Indians, Cubans and Porto Ricans conduct more grocery stores and meat markets than the native born, who are successful as operators of real estate, restaurants, hotels, barber shops, cabarets, undertaking establishments and beauty parlors. Seven news papers and two monthly magazines are included in the line of publications.
As a result of this plenitude of population and pacific of business enterprises, when the Negro visitor to Harlem, as Mr. Walton puts it, invariably looks for elevator office buildings, instead elevator apartments meet his gaze. The absence of race prejudice and the tendency, to shop where prices fit the pocketbook, in these days of high cost of living, are held to be responsible in large measure for the failure to sustain race enterprises.
Referring to the political situation, Mr. Walton takes issue with Mr. Bryan's recent statement that the North would act as the South when the question of no
literal equality is involved. This has now, in fact contradicted in the 19th and 21st Assembly districts. Colored and white voters in sending representative of both races to the State Legislature and the All-Dermaic Chamber. Negro applicants for office do not seek nomination and election because of their race the city but chiefly as members of the particular political party. In the 19th Assembly district the Negro Assemblyman is a Democrat with the standard bearer of his party and represents all of his constituents. The Negro alderman is a Republican and performs a similar duty. White officers of the district make an analogous attitude.
All in all Mr. Walton has given a very suggestive and illuminating portrait of "This modern City of Lilac" which has risen in a documentary American setting and which both the strength and the weakness to its American environment.
An Atlanta news dispatch gave currency to the claims of a white ex-girl named Booth, that "Satan is the black but white and beautiful." If this is anything to boast of, the angelist in question and his white converse are welcome to the home.
Is Marriage a Failure?
Editor of The New York Times
Every day divorce becomes a more and more frequent thing in the Americas can life, and discussion is rare in whys and wherefores of this grievous condition. Any consideration in the question of course involves immediate a discussion of marriage. Is it a failure? Our increasing number of divorce cases seem to posit the answer yes. But why? asks every thousand person. On any subject like divorce possible to generalise and reach conclusions which apply only in the matter of cases, and it must be borne in mind that such conclusions are necessary limited.
From my experience and observation it seems to us that it is the woman who makes the home and upon her in cases out of seven depends the majority of marriage. She is the helpman of man. If he provides the whereabout to make the home, as is the case for the majority of families, it is up to her to see to it that it is a pleasant place to come to; that the things about the house are in good order, instead of talking about gossiping, and frightening for the wife as for families.
So many of the women one sees may seem to have forgotten comfortably about the serious aspect of marriage's responsibility. Perhaps they wish to change their name for luck by booking for a husband and carry out their sister idea by advertising. They follow the style to extremes, wearing either very short or very long skirts, peekaboo jackets, genius chrysanthemums, double-decker hats in summer time and in winter work, half meter skirts, the claustro heels three inches high and one and a half inches at the base for walking through snowy streets. And then there are the deaf creatures who go the other extreme and put one in mind of Miss Dullness Glom whenever they appear on the scene.
To return, if one of these women gets a husband, she may find he has not as much money as she thought, or he her to suppose, or perhaps he may have some other fault of which she disproves—very often, instead of using the great influence she has over her husband she begins to mug. Then he goes out evenings to escape being in the house, and she wonders where it is that he goes and that it goes. Instead, she ought to use the intelligence which every woman of intelligence has over her husband, and given and tactfully lead him to the right path.
If women did this it is my belief that our divorce cases would be reduced by more than fifty per cent, and it could be said with truth, marriage is not a New York City.
Negroes Deserve Consideration.
(From Greenville (S. C.) News.
The Negro leaders of the South are as much, if not more, interested in the localled exodus of colored people are the white people. Naturally they are in better position than white people to understand why the Negroes are living the South, and any success which come from reputable members of the Negro race is deserving of consideration by all good citizens. There is the series of resolutions recently adopted by representatives of 1,000 colored heads of Greenville will receive the attention and consideration of the white population of the city.
The Negroes state that as must been said by the press and publishers about the exodus and that remedies which have been suggested alleviate the underlying cause of conditions that cause this unhappened they respectful consideration of some suggestions make. They suggest that the care of their schools be looked into by in position to help; that improvement of their streets be looked after, and at least good sidewalks be built in schools; that the police show less siveness in arresting numbers of race, calling attention to a recurrent where a Negro was unmiserable without apparent just cause, and the wage question be looked into, making that it is almost impossible for the average Negro to earn an honest under present conditions. They can the better school advantages offered to people in the North as one main reasons for the exodus.
These suggestions and request for reasonable, should be looked into if the Negroes are receiving unjust treatment in any of the instances, some measures should be put in operation to do them. The decent Negroes are not being for anything like social equality. They know that will never be, and they do not expect it or want it. They do however, desire just treatment before the law and in other ways, and no one begrudge them that. They are entitled to it and it will make them better areas. The more good citizens in community has the better the conditions. We must not overlook the fact that we cannot mistreat the Negroes out at the same time do an injustice to ourselves, while on the other hand, when we help him we are helping ourselves as well. This is only the selfish point of it, without taking into consideration any affirmative motive. Either we sufficient to cause us to give the Negro project consideration.

"As the result of a casual conversation overboard by chance by an Internal Revenue Agent in a Pullman car in the West more than a year ago, the Federal Government filed suit in the United States District Court here yesterday to recover $1,790,842, equity income and excess profit tax from four hundred, fifty corporations and individuals in all parts of this country and Canada."
The above excerpt from an article in the New York World of March 20 should be a serviceable lesson as well as an effective warning to the effusive and garrulous traveler.
Now, of all the nuisances to whom we have to cater, none to our mind excels the over-taxable passenger. They are mostly of the would-be financiers, small-town salemans and the political heels class, and their favorite place of gossip is the smoking compartment of a Pullman car.
When these follows get in the smoking room of a car the dissemination of news emitting therefrom would cause you to think, unless you know otherwise, that President Harding and Cabinet were in session; J. P. Morgan & Co. were discussing a stotation, or maybe, Wanashaker & Sons contemplated an additional department. As far as actually knowing anything about the business of these firms wad wager not one is acquainted with the way to the outer office. Our observations have been that the really big men seldom talk "shop" and when they do, they whisper—and they more than know to whom they are speaking—the smoking room being the last place.
It is sometimes amusing to hear these pould-bleh. You will hear them express their opinion about financial and political matters of great moment in a tone of convincing originality, when as a matter of fact, you have just finished reading his exact words—n newspaper talk. Of course the throne confinement of travelling, especially a long distance, is more than apt to make one so soluble, but why tell your business secret and life's story to a stranger simply because he or she is travelling deluxe. We do not know how nor what part of the car this revenue agent secured his information, neither do we braggrudge Uncle Sam his just done, but we have a sneaking idea that this information came by way of the smoking room.

DEAREST SISTERS:
Today is the greatest event in the history of Christianity for it is Easter. La tue try to define this word taking each letter operately.
E—stands for Eve
A—stands for Adam. Two of God's perfect being's created pure and holy in the image and likeness of their Creator. They were happy and contented in their home, the Garden of Eden they lived continually in the presence of their Omnipotent Father.
S—is for Satan the evil spirit.
T—is for temptation. Satan tempted our first parents and caused them to disobey God. They were driven from the garden and lost favor with Him. The earth began to multiply, but as rapidly as the population increased the people seemed to draw further and further away from God. What was going to be done with this wicked humanity?
E—stands for Everlasting Life. In John we read "God gave His only begotten Son that whoever believeth

Lawrenceville, Va.-Beginning with the 1923-4 session, physical education at St. Paul School will be compulsory. The committee on the course of study, which includes members of the physical education staff, is preparing a complete course. While every student already takes an active part in one or more branches of sport or the prescribed physical exercises, the authorities of the institution realize that physical education as a part of the curricula will be far more effective. The director of physical education will be assisted by a woman who will have immediate supervision of the training for the girls.
The initial exhibition in gymnastics under the direction of Major W. M. Whitehead was a rare treat. The youngsters displayed a natural aptitude for gymnastics. The course in gymnastics includes calisthenics, setting-up exercises, ordinary gymnastics, corrective gymnastics and heavy gymnastics. It was outlined by the present director. The calisthenics for the girls has proved a success. It conjunction with this the young women take long hikes, play tennis, quinns, light baseball, croquet, service ball, volley ball and outdoor basketball.
On March 1, sixty-two young men reported to Coaches Douglas and Wiley for baseball.

HELLO GIRLS:
Well I am still here, reading your dear letters each and every week. You see the old Ground-hog has awakened at last (hal hall). I sent a letter in two weeks ago, but for some unknown reason it wasn't published, or they didn't receive it. Say girls. I want you all to come out to our "Short and Snappy Musical comedy" on April 19, at the Metropolitan Hall in Montclair, N. J. "Kid Palmer" makes a brilliant chorus girl and you ought to see her toe dance. Why you would actually believe her toes were educated, at least that's what the managers say. Please try and be there as we have a great surprise in store for you. Those of you who don't know how to get there will find directions printed on another page of this paper. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that there will be dancing, with music by our well known syncopator "Babe Lewis." "Marshmallow," its good of you to keep the home fires burning. I will try and help you from on. I see. "Kid Palmer" twice a week and I should be glad for you to accompany me over sometimes. "Atlanta," why don't you drop a friend a line once in a while. "Love," what's become of you? You don't seem to love us anymore. "Mom Smoke." I am really surprised at you. "Baby Doll," what stopped you, have you forgotten how to write? "Red." I know you have a good alah, but please let us hear from you. "Wes." I am just going to preach you a sermon when I see you. Girls, please buck up and show Plainfield's Spring Spirit, even though we are dead in the winter. Well, anyway, I am glad to see so many new letters. "Lill," "Sheba," "Alpha," and all the rest of you have my heartiest welcome. "Alpha," I would like to hear from you. I'd like to hear from you all of you. Just address.
327 Berckman street, Plainfield, N. J.
DEAREST GIRLS, one and all,
I'll drop a line to you.
And let you know if I don't write
I'm still a member true.
Each week I truly do intend
A letter to the column send.
But seemingly something always prevent
Me, following the course of which I'm
bent.
Now girls, I calls it quite a treat
To read your letters and articles each
week.
And I'm going to try to do
And I in going to try to do
In the future, more for the column too.
So I'll put my pen away.
Until another day.
"Innocent," I would like very much to write to you, but I don't know your address. Won't you send it in again? "Williamina," I guess you will look for a letter by now. I will look for an answer room. "Kid Palmer," I am still hoping to hear from you again. Love to all. "SIDNEY."
STOMACH TROUBLES
ARE DUE TO ACIDITY
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief For Acid Indigestion
So-called stomach troubles, such as indigestion, gas, sourness, stomach-ache and inability to retain food are in probably nine cases out of ten, simply evidence that excessive secretion of acid is taking place in the stomach creating formation of gas and acid indigestion.
Gas distends the stomach and causes that full, oppressive, burning feeling sometimes known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and induces the delicate lining of the stomach. The troubles entirely in the excess development or secretion of acid.
To stop or prevent this souring of the food contents of the stomach and to neutralize the acid, and make it hard and harmless, a teaspoonful of Bicarbonated magna-ela, a good and effective corrector of acid stomach, should be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eating or whenever gas, sourness or acidity is felt. This sweetens the stomach and neutralizes the acidity in a few moments and is a perfectly harmless and inexpensive remedy to use.
An antiacid, such as Bisurated Magnesia which can be obtained from any druggist in either powder or tablet form or sables the stomach to do its work properly without the aid of artificial directants. Magnesia comes in several forms, so be certain to ask for and take only Bisurated Magnesia, which is especially valuable to our purpose.

tative staff including John R. Hawk kins, chairman; S. W. Rutherford, secretary-treasurer, and others of the executive council, are making preparation for this conference.
The aim will be to bring together instructors in schools and public spirited citizens with an appreciation of the value of the written record and of research as a factor in correcting error and promoting the truth. The heads of all accredited institutions of learning have been invited to take an active part in this conocation.
The program will cover two days and will offer an opportunity for the discussion of every phase of Negro life and history. Among the speakers will be Kelly Miller, William Pickens, Mimi Nannie H.

The special work is under the supervision of a committee composed of Dr. Elsie Clew Patrons, Dr. Franz Baar and Dr. Carter G. Woodson.
Another concern of the conference will be to stimulate interest in the collection of Negro folklore for which there is offered a price of $200 for the best collection of tales, riddles, proverbs, sayings and songs, which have been heard in Negro homes.
Three fellowships of $500 per year have been established to fit young mer for serious scientific work in study of Negro life and history. The fellowships will be awarded by a committee composed of Carl Russell Smith of the University of Wisconsin, William E. Dodd of the University of Wisconsin and Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association.
The fiftieth anniversary of the publication of the Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans will be observed next July with a plan to place it on a basis of self-support. This publication is the official organ of the Negro membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which has increased during the past half century to 305,000 souls. To make this creditable church organ self-supporting would be a distinct racial achievement demanded by the times, according to the promoters of this plan.

Variety Artists and Musicians Chances to Work At Newcomers
(By Warren)
London, March 18.—With more than many musicians jobless in England just artists from the United States may be to London. The big drive looking town in fact, leading straight to a darker land.
A troupe of colored artists has been Empire after regular theatre hours, appear on the boards of the London plated here are "Shuffle Along" and "Whiteman and his band have landed their revue, "Brighter London."

Finally, after for the show was granted.
But the matter is not likely to end with the variety artists. "There are sheers out of work," said an official of the introduction of American Negro clubs. British musicians could play quips.

and Musicians, Jobless in to Work Are Lessened By Newcomers From U. S.
The presence in England at this time of the company of colored players headed by Harper & Blanks, which is appearing in a big revue at the London Hippodrome, in association with Paul Whiteman and his famous orchestra of white jazz musicians, seems to be attracting an attention different from any yet incurred.
In the first place, the Whiteman band has been enjoined from playing anywhere other than the Hippodrome because of a ban set up through the courts by the London Musicians' Labor Union. Even an opportunity to play in the home of the Prince of Wales or Lord Mountbatten had to be foregone because of the opposition raised by native musicians. Appeals have been made in the matter to President Harding, Secretary of State Hughes, and to the British Ambassador, though without result so far.
Then the question of Negro players has stirred up another protest based, it is said, on the fact that thousands of English variety artists and musicians are jobless in London, and in need of the opportunities given to the dark brother from the United States. The matter has gone as far as the English Parliament, and drew forth a statement from Sir Montague Barlow, after the government had issued permits to thirty-three American performers, including the colored players, to fill a six weeks' engagement in London, that "it isn't possible to find substitutes (for the colored performers) in this country to give entertainment of this kind."
In last Sunday's New York "Tribune" there was printed a letter from London, written by Warre B. Wells, "Tribune" correspondent, telling of the situation in London as it is viewed by the English and told about from an American angle. The article is as follows:
MANY PROTESTS IN BRITISH CAPITAL OVER INVASION OF COLORED PLAYERS

London, March 18. With more than two thousand variety artists and as many musicians jobless in England just now, the continued importation of black artists from the United States may be said to have brought a Negro problem to London. The big drive looking toward the creation of a brighter London is, in fact, leading straight to a darker London, the critics complain.
A troupe of colored artists has been engaged to stage a cabaret show at the Empire after regular theatre hours, an entire black company is scheduled to appear on the boards of the London Pavilion, and other black shows contemplated here are "Shuffle Along" and "The Emperor Jones." Coincidently, Paul Whiteman and his band have landed here for the provincial try-out of the new revue, "Brighter London."
Since, of they are successful, these experiements probably will be copied all over the country, the Variety artists Confederation is protesting, on the ground that already there are over two thousand of its members "resting." The agitation has been strong enough to provoke questions in Parliament, where Sir Montagu Barlow said that it was impossible to find substitutes in this country for the kind of shows contemplated.
But this assurance is not accepted by the English artist. "We think it would be a disgrace," said Albert Voyce, chairman of the federation, "if permission were granted to exploit imported black men and women in this way, while hundreds of talented British artists are on the verge of want for lack of engagements. We have no objections to American artists coming to England. In fact, 90 per cent of those who come here join our federation and are welcome. There are also in England Negro turns, most respectable and most decent, who behave themselves and keep their place. But we view with the greatest apprehension a cabaret where black artists would actually mix with the white folk in the tables."
This, in fact, is not going to happen. When the question of licensing the all-black cabaret at the Empire was first raised last week at the London County Council the chairman, Sir Percy Simmons, adjourned the meeting because he had not heard before about the idea of using colored artists. Sir Alfred Butt, proprietor of the Empire, then wrote to him, pointing out that a rail would be put around the portion of the room in which the show was staged, and that he never intended allowing it to be physically possible for the black artists to mix with the audience. Finally, after a good deal of opposition, the license for the show was granted.
But the matter is not likely to end here. Musicians are lining up in protest with the variety artists. "There are something like two thousand of our members out of work," said an official of the Musicians' Union, "many of them due to the introduction of American Negro hands, now in favor with certain dance clubs. British musicians could play quite as well."
Most regular theatrical managers are cautious in dealing with the Negro problem. J. A. E. Malone, of Grossmith & Malone, however, who is an outspoken Australian, said that though he was offered the all-black revue "Shuffle Along" eighteen months ago he would never dream of braiding black artists over to England.
Critics of the "darker London" tendency point out that film producers will not have Negroes in principal parts. In "One Exciting Night," the new Griffith film being released here this week, there is a Negro part, but Griffith cast Porter Strong, a white man, for the part and had him blacken his face. Even the blacks in the German film, "The Loves of Pharoah," now showing here, are really white.
Aside from the professional side of the question there is another consideration in the minds of the critics. As far as twenty years back an all-black musical comedy, "In Dahomey," was staged here. It was a great success theatrically, but the experiment has not been repeated up to now, for the reason that while the principal members of the company behaved themselves perfectly as much could not be said of some of the Negro chorus men. It is also recalled that the staging here at Earl's Court of an exhibition called "Savage South Africa" was productive of a good deal of the same sort of trouble.
AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE
Mae Murray has done the best work of her photoplay in her latest Metro picture, "Jazzmania," presented by Robert Z. Leonard at the Lincoln Theatre, where it was seen for the first time Thursday. The amazing versatility of this gifted screen star was never more fully evidenced than in the film, and it is by all odds the most popular and entertaining of her pictures.
"Jazzmania" has everything in it. As a matter of fact, it is more than one photoplay. It has its background for the most part in the colorful kingdom of Jasmania, a tiny Balkart principality. It shifts to Paris for a while; then to the Casino at Monte Carlo; and finally to New York. Spectacular scenes follow each other with incredible swifteness; and no sobber has one glimped a scene of rare beauty than another is flashed on the screen in its stead. "Jazzmania" is really a New York Hippodrome of slimdom.
Miss Murray is throughout admirable in her portrayal of Ninom. She makes the transmission from sheet comedy to dramatic emotionalism very real, and her dancing and costumes are

The star receives splendid support form the cast, among whom are several players of prominence. Rod La Rocque, one of the most popular of leading men, appears opposite the star as Jerry Langdon, an American, with whom Ninon falls in love at Monte Carlo, Robert Frazer is the trustworthy Valmar, aide-de-camp; Edward Burns, Sonny Dalmier, another admirer; and Jean Hersholt appears as Prince Otto of Como, a neighboring principality.
AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE
"Plantation Days," now playing at the Lafayette, is only a group of vaudeville acts hurriedly gotted together. Although most of the cast possess talent, none stood out and the show as a whole failed to go over. The best work was done by Eddie Green and Wooding's Orkestra. Others in the cast are Smith and DeForest, Adams and Tinsel, Daisy Pizzarro, Treme Ruley and Julia Mitchell. The attraction at this theatre next week will be "Sven-Eleven," which proved one of the most popular shows to play this theatre last fall. The cast.
GE AN In State Boxin Lesson Muldoon
Changes In State Boxing Law May Lesson Muldoon's Power
(By WILLIAM E. CLARK).
State Senator James J. Walker, who fathered the present boxing law, recently outlined the method by which William Muldoon, chairman of the Boxing Commission, may be stripped of his powers and piaced in a position that may induce him to resign. The plan for the curtailment of the powers of the present chairman of the Boxing Commission, Senator Walker explained, was to reestablish the license committee and to appoint a commissioner to take the place of George K. Morris, whose term expired some time ago. The senator intimated that when the license committee began to function there would be very little for the commissioners to do.
It is expected that Governor Smith will appoint this committee within the next two weeks and also name the new commissioner. Senator Walker is of the opinion that the chairman of the Boxing Commission has made many mistakes and exceeded his authority in many instances, and he intimated that a lawyer will be named as member of the commission to tell Muldoon just how far to go in matters concerning pugilism in this state. Chairman Muldoon's most flagrant disregard of the law in handling pugilistic affairs of the state was his discrimination against Wills because of his color in violation of the Civil Rights Law.
headed by Howard and Brown and Smith and Cook, remains the same.
"Salome," played by a colored cast that received much favorable criticism in Chicago sometime ago, will be the attraction for the last week of April.

AT THE NEW DOUGLAS THPATRE
William Fox's latest melodrama shows how real worth triumphs over other objections. One of the most remarkable dramas that has ever been presented on the screen is to have us premier presentation in this neighborhood, at the New Douglas Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, April 8th, 9th, and 10th.
It is called "The lights of New York" and was enacted by a large cast of distinguished screen artists. Friendly, it is a story of success worn in the face of the obstacles of poverty, birth and environment—A story of genius that could not be squelched, of a fighting spirit that never dies out. The story travels from New York's East Side to fashionable Fifth avenue. It reflects squall of the slums, the myriad lights of the Gay White Way, and the lavishness of the homes of the rich.
It is a story of breadless adventure and tender romance that will profit both old and young. Today and tomorrow (Thursday and Friday) the New Douglas is presenting "The Man Alone," a stirring drama of the sea, starring Hobart Bozworth.

In their final game of the season, the Commonwealth Big Five was easily defeated by the Original Celtics, at Commonwealth Casino Sunday night, April I. James Sessoms of Pittsburgh, who had agreed to play with the Commonwealth team in this game failed to keep his agreement, and Captain "Fat" Jenkins was out of the lineup with a threatened attack of pneumonia. For these reasons the Celtics had an even easier time winning than in there previous game with the colored team. The score was 35-21
The Celtics allowed their opponents only one field goal during the first half while they scored seven. In the second half Fial got away and caged three baskets, which with a basket each by Slocum, Moten and Forbes, gave the Commonwealth a total of six field goals during the game. Toward the end of the last half the Celtics substituted several of their second team

Entertaining Program Offered at 30—Prelims Were Not as Snap of 369th Exhibited
Willie Walker, middleweight and lightweight champion of the National Guard, added another victory to his list by defeating Jack Douglas in the twelve round star bout at the 15th Armory on Friday night, March 30. Douglas is a heavyweight and made it interesting for the colored champion at all times, but the speed and cleverness of Walker gave him an advantage which enabled him to outpoint his opponent all the way.
Walker showed improvement over his last bout, and as he one of the best fighters developed in the 369th Regiment, one wonders why he is not given mor fights at the larger clubs, such as the Commonwealth and Pioneer. His ability and style of fighting makes him a drawing card against any man of his weight, and it should not be necessary for him to inside the heavyweight field in order to get fights at all. He weighs 164 pounds and his opponent's weight was announced as 183.
Edwin Riley, also a much improved fighter was the victor over Kid Bates in the eight round semi-final bout. Bates seemed over cautious and wasn't

The mystery of the night was who Dave Weber of the 39th permitted himself to be beaten in one of the four round preliminary bouts by Charles Myers, of the 27th Division. Myers is one of the fattest fighters ever seen in the ring. His stomach is fair target for any opponent, yet not once during the four rounds did Weber attempt to hit him in this vicinity. Not only this but also Weber's indifference and lack of aggressiveness made many of the spectators to suspect that he was not doing his best. The weights in this contest were Weber 1571a and Myers 1814.
In the other preliminary bout Dave Silvers or the 102nd Regiment and Ivan Hoarse of the 39th fought a fast four round draw. Both of these fighters were making their first professional appearance. Their weights, were Silvers 110 pounds and He

a keenly developed sense of commercial value attaching to their musical efforts, and it is not the easiest matter to convince them that there is anything worthwhile their consideration or attention unless there is immediate and tangible financial return of considerable volume.
An altruistic movement, such as this series of orchestral recitals is, by reason of ita limited appeal, cannot be carried forward successfully without being subsidized, either by the men engaged in it, or by a philanthropic public. Among the Negroes, there are scarcely any philanthropically inclined among the well-to-do, who would freely and willingly give of their substance to spread the seed of culture among the masses, and so it remains that a group of competent performers must be found who will be willing, in their desire to develop themselves and to assist others in developing, to serve as missionary pioneers in the cause. And this group will not be found among that class of musicians who want every sound evoked from their instrument to awaken an echo from the clinking of coins sounding in their pockets.
Failing this, the Negro must continue to imbibe culture and artistic development from other sources than from among themselves.

Orchestral Recitals By Harlem Group Abandoned
Orchestral Recitals By Harlem Group Abandoned
Conductor E. Gilbert Anderson Decides, After Second Concert, Not to Complete Scheduled Performances Men Did Not Cooperate, He Said.
It is always to be regretted when a movement, meritorious and worthwhile, is abandoned, even temporarily. This regret is intensified, it seems to me, when the particular activity is one calculated to have almost unlimited influence for good in moulding and directing the artistic development of a community or city. So it is with a feeling of sorrow that this column sets forth readers the announcement that the series of orchestral recitals scheduled to be rendered on five Sunday afternoons at the beautiful new Renaissance Casino, 7th avenue and 138th street, will not be completed. Two of these recitals have been played, one on Sunday afternoon, February 18, the second on Sunday, March 18, the vehicle of expression being the Harlem Orchestra, under direction of E. Gilbert Anderson, for ten years director of the Philadelphia Concert Orchestra. Deacon Johnson was announced as the manager, with Hugh I. Nanton in charge of the publicity.
Concert at Newport News To Audience of Colored and White Citizens.
Other recitals were scheduled to be given on April 8, May 20, and June 17. A statement printed on the program signed by I. Gilbert Anderson, conductor, was that "It is the earnest desire of the management that these musicales shall furnish Education, Recreation and Pleasure to those who favor with their presence." Another paragraph was that "The united support of the people of Harlem to this project, if sincerely given, will greatly aid the purpose for which these Musicales are given, that of helping to make Harlem a better place in which to live."
R. N. DETT CONDUCTED
These sentiments, coupled with the quality of music offered by Conductor Anderson, won for the project the unstinted and unqualified support of this newspaper. Through this column, the people of this city were advised of the splendid quality contained in the endeavor and in every way possible assistance was given to achieve the desired success. Information that the series would be discontinued after the second recital was the cause of a feeling of deep regret that such should be the decision of the management, and immediate effort was made to find out why such a course had become necessary.
(By WM. ANTHONY AERY)
Hampton, Va.—A large, representative and enthusiastic audience of white and colored citizens attended the concert of the Hampton Institute Glee Club which was recently given in the Academy of Music at Newport News, Va. under the direction of R. Nathaniel Dett, well known Negro composer-pianist, who was assisted by three of his pupils—Burke M. Mathis of Booley, Okla. tenor; Aubrey W. Pankey of Pittsburgh, harbiter, and Gerald B. Wilson of Salem, Va. pianist. The thirty members of this glee club and the assisting artists did yodhun missionary service in making white and colored men and women realize the fact that Negroes can master the intricacies of difficult musical compositions and can present a wide-range program with artist finish and extraordinary self-control.
Queries to other individuals concerned in the effort were referred to the conductor, and so Mr. Anderson was seen and asked for an explanation. Expressing regret, which he declared was as polignant and as sincere as that felt by anyone concerned, the orchestral leader declared that the principal reason for discontinuing the recitals lay in the fact that the musicians had not given him the necessary cooperation.
Religious Classics: Sanctus (Schubert); From Thy Throne (Gluck); And Beside the Manger (Ancient Carol). Negro Folksongs: 'Tis Me. Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler. Balm in Gilead, and Daniel Saw the Stone; Negro Folksongs Derivative: Babylon's Falling (Dett).
The reviewer had noted that the personnel of the orchestra at the second recital was almost entirely different from that at the first recital a month previous, and this had aroused curiosity, as successful development of a symphony orchestra is dependent largely upon forming a permanent and lasting aggregation of players, whose powers of interpretation increase proportionately with the length of time they are associated together.
Modern Compositions: Bedouin Song
(Foote); Silver Lanternas of the Night
(Redding); Wish You, Dear (Scott);
Hew Rose (Comba); Drake's Drum
Coleridge Taylor); Old King Cole
(Forsythe); Viking Song (Coleridge-Taylor); Ldlaby (Work); and On,
Hampton (Anonymous).
It was patent to this reviewer that if the Harlem Orchestra was to succeed in attaining the musical and artistic heights of symphonic expression it would not be under conditions in which seventy-five to ninety per cent of the personnel changed with each performance.
R. Nathaniel Dett played several of his own compositions, including the Barcarolle and Juba Dance from "In the Bottoms" suite; Song of the Shrine and Dance of Desire from "Enchantment" suite; and two encores, Mammay (from "Magnolia" suite) and Honey (from "In the Bottom" suite). He also played several accompaniment pieces. Believe (Giordani), sung by Burke M. Mathis; Zion Hailletuhl (Jett), Poor Me (Dett), and Dinah Kneading Dough (Dett), sung by Aubrey W. Parkey.
It was this very condition, according to Conductor Anderson, that could not be overcome. In fact, said Mr. Anderson, from the twenty-five musicians taking part in the first recital, not one satisfactory response was had in reply to notice of rehearsals of the second program. Only one was heard from at all, said the conductor, and that one simply transmitted the information, over the telephone, that he would not take part in the second recital.
Gerald B. Wilson played the Gavotte in B minor (Bach), and an encore, Arabique (Leschetizky). Luther T. Purvis of Georgetown, S. C., recited two of Dahl's well-known Italian dialect poems: Between Two Loves" and I've Got Her.
In response to a question as to the financial arrangement made with the players, Conductor Anderson said it was clearly understood that the recitals were being promoted on a cooperative basis, so far as remuneration to the musicians for their services was concerned. That is, because of the great educational value of the recital programs, made up of music of the beat and most elevating character, and because of the opportunity for self-advancement through studying and gaining familiarity with the music of the old masters, the members of the orchestra were supposed to be willing to give as much of their time as was necessary to preparing for and rendering these recitals, with the understanding that financial reward depended entirely upon the support accorded the venture by the people of the community.
This was the fifth big concert which the Hampton Institute Glee Club has given this season. The others were given in the Richmond City Auditorium, at the University of Richmond, at the Virginia Medical College and in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute.
At Hampton the assisting artist was Clarence Cameron White of Oberlin, O., well-known Negro composer-violinist, who made a direct and winning appeal to a large audience, on account of the beauty of his tone in playing Legende (Bohm), Polonaise (Mlymsarski), Qn the Bayon (White), Pizzicatto (Thome), Bercouse (Juon, and Scherzo (van Goeens).
But whatever the original understanding was, the men who were in the orchestra for the first recital did not put in appearance at any of the rehearsals called by Conductor Anderson for the second concert, according to his statement to this reviewer. As a consequence he was compelled to assemble, for the second recital, a group of players who had not before played in the Harlem Orchestra, and according to information at hand, not recruited in some cases until the very day of the performance. By reason of this, instead of being familiar with the music scores, some of the players saw them for the first time on the recital stage.
NORTH JERSEY MEDICAL SOCIETY DEFERRED BY DR. ALEXANDER
such as Drs. Cannon, Cotton, Washington, Parker, Baxter, Urling, Southern, and a host of others, who are known for their progressive tendencies and sanity. We wonder if Dr. Brown has found the standard of ethics among the few white physicians with whom he is allowed to associate, different from or higher than that among the large number of colored professional men who have been his associates? He has frequently admitted that a large number of the white physicians in his community are antagonistic to him; and he has also admitted that when he recently complained about a patient of his in the hospital that he was told 'where he could get off.'
These circumstances, according to Mr. Anderson, surrounded the effort with such insuperable difficulties, that he was compelled to abandon the proposition.
In justice to the management, it should be set down that from statements made by those responsibly concerned with the project, the decision to abandon the recitals was made entirely by Mr. Anderson. The Deacon Johnson organization, it is reported, was willing to go forward with the business end of the proposition, with unshaken confidence that the public would ultimately support the movement, even though the support accorded the first two recitals was not of sufficient volume to prevent a considerable financial deficit. But inability to secure from musicians the united and continued support which would preserve intact the orchestral personnel, coupled with fidelity in that personnel to the scheduled rehearsals, caused Mr. Anderson to feel that further effort along that line was useless at this time.
"Dr. Brown further states that the society allowed the considerations of race to be dominant over considerations of ethics. In the discussion over the petition in behalf of Dr. Lawrence, it was made very plain that it was not a race matter; and the only injection of the race into the question has been the decision of Drs. Brown and Durrah to cast their lot with a white organization where they are tolerated rather than with a colored organization where they were welcomed.
It is to be hoped that as time passes there will eventuate some scheme by which this or a similar project can be carried to success. Personally, I believe Conductor Anderson made a mistake in the onset by recruiting his players almost entirely from the professional amusement purveying group. This class, as a rule, has

one is struck by the fact that it is neither logical nor entirely truthful. It is hard to understand why he has brought up any question of ethics in the matter. The motion made in the meeting of the North Jersey Medical Society was
"That the Society endorse a petition for the restoration of the license of Dr. Lawrence."
"There was no disposition on the part of any member of the organization to condone in any way the license with which Dr. Lawrence had been charged in Elizabeth, or for changing the petition previously signed in his behalf. As a matter of fact, he was roundly condemned for the latter action; but the members of the Society readily felt that it was their prerogative to appeal to the State Board of Medical Examiners to restore the license of Dr. Lawrence.
"It was simply a friendly act on the part of the organization to have the status of Dr. Lawrence restored so that he might legally pursue his livelihood. If Dr. Brown or any one could seriously object to any such procedure as this, he must be devoid of all traits of human kindness; and it would seem that Dr. Brown has gone very far afield in charging the entire North Jersey Medical Society with violation of professional ethics in an endeavor to help a fellow practitioner who is also a member of the race.
Dr. Durrak and White Patients
"The statement of Dr. Durrah is entirely at variance to statements that he has made to individual members of the society. Following the meeting held at the Urban League he made a statement which in substance is as follows: 'I believe if Dr. Lawrence would agree to not treat white patients that the Union County Society would withdraw its opposition; and I think he ought to be advised to make such an offer.' I stated to him that I did not think such a course advisable unless nothing else could be done; and if such a proposition was made it should come from the Union County Society rather than to be proposed by Dr. Lawrence. Dr. Durrah then said, 'I think he should agree not to treat white patients. I had to do the same thing myself.'
"When asked by Dr. Curtis of Paterson to take charge of a patient, whose sister is the landlord of Dr. Curtis, Dr. Durrah stated, according to Dr. Curtis, that he did not take white patients. Dr. Cotton of Paterson said that Dr. Durrah called him on the phone and advised him of the situation that confronted him in Plainfield, and asked him whether he would consent to the proposition to discontinue treating white patients. Other members of the North Jersey Medical Society made a similar statement regarding Dr. Durrah's case; and if the society had not been thoroughly convinced of the eruption of the situation, it is not likely that it would have unanimously passed resolutions condemning any member of the profession who would limit his practice to any particular race.
A Contradictory Statement
At the meeting where the action was taken in favor of Dr. Lawrence, there were rather significant statements made by both Dr. Brown and Durrah which contradicts any statement that they resigned for any other reason other than possible action by the Union County Society, (white). The statement made by both of them was substantially this: 'The members of the Union County Medical Society do not want Dr. Lawrence to get his license back. We have got to live here among these men. What are they going to think of us and do if we agree to support the petition in behalf of Dr. Lawrence?'
I feel sure that the statements in this communication are absolutely correct and will be substantiated by every member of the organization who was present at the meeting where the action under consideration was taken. The attention of the resigning brethren is called to 1st Corinthians, 13:1.

HAMPTON STUDENTS

"HOUSE OF RIMMON"
Oriental Costumes and Attractive Stage Settings Aid Effects.
By Wm. Anthony Arys
Hampton, Va.-The Sophoclean Dramatic Club of Hampton Institute in its recent presentation, Orden Hall, became a large and enthusiastic audience of Dr. Henry van Dyke's fourth, religious drama, "The House of Rimmon," set a new high standard of student, academic attainment. The principal roles of this drama were played by Isaac O. White of Alexandria, Va., and Emmy B. Churchill of Baltimore, Md. These players were ably supported by ten other important characters and by supplementary groups of well-trained soldiers, servans, sentinels, dancers, priests and citizens. Incidental music was furnished by members of the Hampton Institute Orchestra. The costumes and stage settings were appropriate to the period 850 B. C. when Assyria was carrying out her ruthless policy of aggrandizement and when Benhadam, the aged king of Damascus, was undecided about accepting the Assyrian challenge of war or her offer of peace with degrading submission.
Some of the leading characters were: "Benhadad," king of Damascus, Willard L. Adams, Preston, Md.; "Reson," high priest of the House of Rimmon, Leonard McFadden, Fayetteville, N.C.; "Saballidign," noble of Damascus, Reuben F. Jones, Baltimore, Md.; "Shumakim," the king's fool, Eugene

Panama Joe Gans, colored welterweight champion, scored a technical knockout over Cowboy Lee Williams of Oklahoma in the ninth round of a scheduled twelve-round bout at Commonwealth Casino Saturday night, March 31. The referee stopped the bout in the ninth round to save Williams from further punishment after he had been severely beaten for several rounds.
The building was packed, largely with friends of the Cowboy, who believed that he would knock Gans out. He started off well in the first round.

Bordentown Athletes
Make Good Showing
In Trenton, N, J.. Meet
Bordentown, N. J. — Bordentown's track team showed up well in the Community track meet in Trenton, on Saturday night, March 24. This was one of a series to determine the athletes who shall represent Trenton at the state meet in Newark next month. The colored lads from the Industrial School placed in the scolastic 60-yard dash, the 60-yard hurdles, the 390-yard dash, the high jump, and the relay. Walter Petey was the individual star for Bordentown, winning the high jump, placing second in 60-yard dash, winning the 60-yard hurdles, and being a member of the victorious relay team. Watson placed third in the dash and second in the hurdles, while Reid won second place in the 390 dash.
Particularly gratifying to supporters of "Ironides" was the friendly spirit toward the school evinced by the rooters. It was in one of this series of meets that Pennington Seminary of Pennington, N. J., refused to run in the relay because the colored contestants were entered. The incidents seemed to have swayed public sympathy toward the school at Bordentown, and repeated cheers marked each Bordentown vigilory last night.
Lincoln Loses Two Games To Virginia Normal
Petersburg, Va.—On Friday, March 23, in a fast uphill game, the Virginia Normal nine defeated the Lincoln University (Pa.) nine to the tune of 7-5. Although this was Lincoln's first game, and the Hill Topper's second, both teams showed up in mid-season form, and the game was quite exciting.
Lincoln started by getting two runs in the first, but the Hill Topper tied in their half. Coming back Lincoln scored two in the second and one in the third, but this was tied again in the last of the third. Beginning with the fourth inning, each team settled down and began to play air-tight ball, evidenced by the fact that the score remained tied until the last of the eighth, when the Hill Topper found Johnson's delivery for three hits, coupled with some fast running and stealing, netting the two runs by which the game was won. This game was featured by the ground covering by the Lincoln outfield, and by the masterly delivery of "Slim" Armstead, the Hill Topper's ace, who struck out fourteen men.
On Saturday, Lincoln cent in her southpaw-Wilson—but the Hill Toppers began to connect with him freely, so much so that he was called out and replaced by Jordan, but the landslide had begun, and there was no stopping until the grand total of twelve runs for the Hill Toppers had had been registered, while Lincoln could only get four.

by knocking the colored fighter to the canvas with the first blow. Gans arose without waiting for the count and proceeded to knock Williams down twice in quick succession. Williams managed to last the round out, but those two blows took all of the fight out of him. Gans hammered his opponent steadily thereafter and had him in a bad way in the ninth when Referee Patsey Haley stopped the bounce. Although Williams possesses a powerful punch, and has been knocking out many good white opponents, Gans was far too clever and fast for him.
game started—as it did the day before—by Lincoln scoring in their half of the first. This time she scored three runs, but the jam up fielding of Epps in short, Armstead (pitcher) on second, and Jack Coles at third, cut off all their chances for the remainder of the game, until the attempted rally, in the ninth. In their half of the ninth, Johnson was sent in as a bitter, and he started off by getting a single, this was followed by two other hits which netted them a run. Again the infield tightened up ending the game with three men on bases.
Ben Taylor's New Baseball Team Named "Washington Potomacs"
Washington, D. C.—"The Washington Potomac is the name of the new professional baseball club formed to play here under the management of Ben Taylor, formerly manager of the A. B. C's of Indianapolis, Ind.
The name "Potomac" was chosen from over a hundred names submitted by Washington fans by a committee of judges consisting of S. H. Dudley, theatrical manager, William O. Walker, managing editor of the Washington Tribune and Ben H. Taylor.
This name was chosen because the Potomac River is generally associated with the City of Washington.
The team left on Tuesday for Richmond, Va., where they began training. They will be associated with the newly formed Eastern League.

Fleet St. A. M. E. Z. Church
Before the sun made its appearance over the eastern hills, on Easter Sunday morning, several hundred people had gathered at the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor, as if drawn by the subject previously announced, and by the occasion which meant life and light to a perturbed world.
As early as 4:30 a. m. people were awaiting admission into His Holy Sanctuary and promptly at 5:30 the early Easter service that gave inspiration, thrill and joy to those early worshipers began with a processional from the church by the pastor on the "Meaning of Easter" and the administering of the holy communion concluded the early service. At 11:30 a. m. perhaps the largest Easter congregation the church has seen gathered to hear the Easter message on "The Condemnation of the people's challenge." Dr. Brown treated the subject from many points; "What shall we do with the criminal?" "The six cities refuge; we open the death of the criminal; we challenge the condemnation. He made our condemnation by His high office; He makeh intercession for us.
Not before did Fleet Street Church hear an Easter sermon of this order and not a word was lost to that eager, hungry, waiting congregation. They came early and lingered long after the service was closed. The ushers turned away many of lack of standing space, Baptism of infants at the altar was one of the impressive parts of the service; a special anthem by the choir was another; the church was beautifully decorated. A silver pulpit service was presented at the morning service by Mrs. Carrie B. Mosely as her Easter gift to the church.
The Sunday-school did credit to itself in presenting one of the best programs it has redered. The exercise was in charge of Mrs. Carrie Bailey, Miss Pearl Hooks, Miss Dorothy Abrams, and Mrs. Otey.
More than even hundred members and friends were present at the Christian Endeavor service. Frank Brown, president of the Bruno Business School, was at 7:45 p. m. the Sunday-school choir sang with splendid effect the cantara, "He Is Risen."
At the morning service, Dr. S. A. Chambera of Knoxville, Tenn., was the guest of pastor and people. Others present were Rev. Dr. Morris, a revered pastor, Rev. Dr. F. M. Jacobs, who assisted the pastor in baptizing. The Lady Ushers' fair opened Monday night, with every prospect of success. The booths are beautifully decorated and contain many useful articles.

Bridge St. A.M.E. Church.
Easter Sunday, April 1 there was a large and overflowing congregation at the morning service. Every seat in the auditorium was taken, and all standing space occupied. Bishop J. Albert Johnson preached after the singing of 'All the Saints of Jesus' name, spoke from the 20th chair of John, beginning at the 11th verse reading through the 17th. The explanation of the resurrection of Christ was indeed a masterly effort, the profoundness and clearness of his expression left a deep impression upon the congregation. Presiding Elder Cole worshipped with us the morning lessons from the 18th Psalm of the saints, part of the 15th chapter. Rev. Cooper also worshipped with us.
At 8 p.m. the auditorium was again crowded to hear the address by Bishop Johnson. Rev. E. E. Tyler, the pastor, read the evening lesson from the 6th chapter of Isaiah, ending with the 8th verse. After singing hymn, "Go preach My Lord," he delivered an address on "Missions." He said he had been in the ministry 48 years, and seven years were spent 3800 miles away in South Africa. He thought he knew how to pray, but when he went to foreign lands he learned to pray. He said there are 300,000,000 black people there and 250,000,000 have never heard the word of the gospel. He told 6,000 to 8,000 people at a time. Preparing Elder Cole, who again worshiped with us, he hoped so have the bishop back to finish his address. The collection for the day was good.
At the morning service 28 persons were received in full membership, and eight infants baptized by the bishop.
Immediately after the morning service the funeral of Herbert Murray Wadkins one off the Sunday-school schoolscholarship was held.
At 3:30 o'clock the Sunday-school renamed an Easter service entitled "Hope." There was a large attendance and each participant performed their part well. Rev. Tyler was with the school and made timely remarks.
There has been organized at the church "The Young People's Culture Club," by Miss Eunice M. Dale. They are now publishing a weekly paper called the Bridge Street Course Miss Emma's.

The church was packed at both services, Sunday so witness the Easter services. At the morning hour Dr. Henry Hugh Proctor gave the annual Easter sermon, speaking on "A Vision of the living Christ." He held that in John's great vision on Patmos he gave a forecast of history based on the faces of the living Christ, indwelling within, functioning for victory over the world. At the evening hour a great audience witnessed the combined Easter service of the Sunday-school and the choir. The music was rendered by the choir and the readings by the members of the school. Carol Clark, baritone, was sokist at the morning hour and rendered two selections that great joy overwhelmed the value of the service. Miss Andrade Lindsay was his accompanist. The work of the choir was up to its usual high standard, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. Nineteen members united with the church during the day, and the offerings at all services were generous.
