HAMILTON O. COACH
WOULD NOT REMOVE
RACE BOY FROM TEAM
Let Covington, Ky., Team Leave Field But Would Not Play Without Colored Boy.
Rather than take a colored boy out of the lineup of its baseball team on the demands of the Covington, Ky., team, the Hamilton (Ohio) High School quit the field recently and refused to play at all. This commendable action of the Ohioans, met with the general approval of the public, Hamilton and caused the following editorial to be written in the Hamilton Evening Journal of April 28:
Hamilton HFA Colored Boys
Coach Kink showed the RIGHT SPIRIT in allowing the Covington, Ky. baseball team to walk off the field rather than yield to the demand of the visitors that A COLORED BOY be taken from the line-up. This is not the first time that a Kentucky objection has been raised to the dark skinned boys of our high school. Last year a Newport football captain objected to the colored boys of the Hamilton eleven and refused to play if they were in the frame.
It might be well to cut off sporting relations with Covington and Newport since they are so fricky about the color line. The colored ones tend to be more aggressive with the colors and if they can "mute the grunt" to 5 steps on a basketball
New York Age
White Alabamaans Protect
The definite announcement by President Harding that the hospital would be manned by a colored personnel has to the point that a delegation of three Tuskegee citizens has come to Washington to voice their objections to the President, W. Campbell, president of the Macon County Bank, John D. Drakeford, president of the Bank of Tuskegee; and Senator R. H. Powell composed the delegation, and they tried to have Governor Brandon accompany them. The Executive, however, pleaded pressure of official duties and declined the invitation.
The whites see no color line in this proposition because of the attractive salaries. It will be entirely agreeable to them to accept positions as doctors and nurses to care for Negro patients, since money attached to the job is of sufficient ability to blind them to any other consideration.
It does not appear, however, that President Harding will change his intention. It is declared at the War Veterans' Bureau, which is in direct charge of the hospital, that the placing of Col. Stanton at its head is only in keeping with the set policy of the Bureau, which is always to begin the operation of a new hospital with an experienced officer at its head, selected from the Bureau's own forces. As the operating staff gains experience, the officer appointed stood that a change will be made, placing a colored physician of outstanding reputation and ability in charge of the work.
In the meantime, members of James E. Walker Post, American Legion, here in Washington, are waging a campaign with the hope of bringing about the naming of a Washington man as superintendent of the new hospital. Telegrams are being sent to various American Legion Posts, declaring that the hospital situation is in grave danger, asking that interest of influential centers be given to the Kansas City President asking strict adherence to policy, of complete colored personnel. And at the same time the Legionnaires are requested to urge the appointment of a member of the James E. Walker Post who is at present connected with the Freedman's Hospital here.
In this connection, The Age has it on the highest authority that the National Medical Association, made up of the leading colored physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacist of the country, Dr. E. Walker Post, City, Mo., a president, will be relied upon to cooperate with the government in securing the highest type of men, and those best qualified for the duties, to fill the positions at the Negro Veterans Hospital. And in the same way, it is expected that the National Association of Graduate Nurses will be called into consultation in the matter of filling the staff of nurses.

White Mississippiian Shot And Killed By Colored Woman He Lived With
(Special to The New York Age)
Clarksdale, Miss.—B. D. Bridges, member of one of the most prominent white families of Yazoo City, but who lived for three years before holding a responsible position with the Sunflower Steam Laundry, was shot and killed by Addie Bell Bryant, a colored woman, with whom he lived.
Common report is that Bridges was mean to his paramour and had been fussing with her prior to the shooting. The woman, evidently harassed beyond the point of endurance, used a cauliflower knife three times. 42-bell Jela took effect, one near the front breast bone and the other plowing through the heart.
The affair has created no trouble or excitement. The town is and has been perfectly quiet. The woman was arrested, by two officers and lodged in jail and the white man's brother came on from Yazoo City and took the body home home of the "distressed father, attended by scores of friends-of the family."
The American colors hospital, owned by Dr. W. S. Prather, a leading white surgeon, has just been completed and is now in operation at America, Ga. The structure, which costs approximately $400, 600, contains thirty rooms and is fitted with every medium medical and surgical

Husband Sand for Separation, But Must Support Wife, Wife Who Came to U. S. April 25.
Counselor John Bindahaw Thorne, of 170 West 135th street, attorney of record for F. A. Lashley, a grocer, of 236 West 135th street, who has filed suit for separation from his wife, Mrs. Rhoda Reynolds Abbott Lashley, who arrived in this country from Antigua, B. W. I., on April 25, informs The Age that he did not serve or assist in serving papers upon Mr. Lashley, as was intimated in last week's issue of this paper.
Mrs. Lashley, a native of Antigua, after being served with a summons in the separation suit, took her case to the Domestic Relations Court, asking for an order to compel her husband to contribute to her support. The British Council provided an answer to Mrs. Lashley, who is a British subject while Counselor Thorne appeared for Mr. Lashley.
On Wednesday, May 9, when the wife's appeal was heard, the Court issued an order requiring Mr. Lashley to pay her the sum of $10, weekly, and to tie a bond insuring its payment.
Counselor Thorne stated to The Age that this order will be fought in the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Lashley is shopping with friends at 109 West 100th street.

Cannon of 345 Pacific Avenue, who was made president of the State Conference, announces that it is probable a national convention of Negro voters will be called to meet at Atlantic City during July next.
After a vigorous condemnation, of President Harding's policy as regards appointment of whites to offices in the South and ignoring the Negro, and the making of a strong demand that the 14th and 15th Amendments be enforced committee was named to lay plans for the national convention. The committee is Dr. W. G. Alexander, Orange; Rev. Wm. A. Byrd, Jersey City; Dr. C. T. Branch, Chambers, Dr. P. L. Hawkins, Atlantic City; Ms. Beasle Mention, Princess; and Dr. Geo. F.

Essex is the only county which has sent a colored man to the State Assembly. Camden is the first member of the lower house, being succeeded by the present incumbent, Assemblyman Oliver Randolph of Newark.

JEALOUSY CAUSES ATTEMPT TO SLAP EX-FRIEND'S FACE
JEALOUSY CAUSES ATTEMPT TO SLAP EX-FRIEND'S FACE
Unpleasant Incident at Utopia Club's Fashion Show Aired in Court.
As a sequel to an unpleasant episode occurring at the recent dance of the Utopia Neighborhood Club at New Star Casino on April 27, Judge Corrigan, presiding over the Magistrate's Court, 121st street and Third avenue, on May 9, dismissed a warrant for malicious assault secured by Mrs. Lila. Lila Hart of 2412 Seventh avenue against Mrs. Charles Griswold of 187 West 137th street, but at the same time gave the return reprimand to Mrs. Griswold, cautioning her against permitting jealousy to overrule judgment.
The incident calling for this court action, according to Dr. Reginald C. Swan of 201 West 130th street, was entirely without cause or reason. Dr. Swan had escorted Mrs. Hart to the Utopia fashion show and was seated, between dances, in their box. Mrs. Griswold, well known to the doctor, passed and was spoken to by a friend. A conversation between the doctor and Mrs. Griswold entered the box and took a seat, talking to Dr. Swan.
Mrs. Griswold chanced to be passing and saw her husband in the box, wield Dr. Swan, and saw that Mrs. Hart was occupying a seat in the same box. The story goes that formerly the two ladies were intimate friends, but something happened that disrupted their friendship. So when Mrs. Griswold saw her husband, Charlie, seemingly enjoying him, she turned over and slapped at Mrs. Hart's space. That is, it is alleged that the affair was not quite successful so far as doing physical damage was concerned, but the intent and meaning was unmistakable.
The affair created a small-sized sensation and rumors of all sorts were soon flying all over Harlem. So, as a matter of justification, Mrs. Hart took court action. She was represented by Counselor Pope Billups of 200 Broadway, while Mrs. Griswold retained Counselor J. Douglas Wetmore of the World Building. In court, Mrs. Griswold acknowledged that she had no cause of grievance against her former friend, that there had been nothing which confronted the names of her and that she had allowed her tempers to get the better of her. Judge Corrigan suggested that in a similar case her effort should be directed toward her husband instead of the innocent woman, and warned her against appearing before him again under such charges.

Bridgeport, Conn. - Mrs. Ruth Brown
24 years old, of 140 West 80th street,

through a convenient window
Later, he reappeared and rode to the

her; that when he forced an entrance
to the room, he struck a match and immediately began shooting. The police report that Mrs. Brown is about to become a mother, and that her condition is fairly good, with an excellent chance recovery.

the Big Brother and Big Sister
ington this week, May 15.
Refusal of the management of the Roosevelt Hotel, in which the meetings were held, to permit colored delegates to pass through the hotel lobby enroute to the conference hall is responsible for the action taken by the Brooklyn women, who not only refused to put themselves in the hotel lobby, but also President Fox of the Big Brothers Association that the "report of the organization will be held over until such time as there will be held a conference where its representatives will be admitted without fear of insult and humiliation." R. C. Shekhan, executive secretary of the Big Brother and Big Sister Federation, 200 Fifth avenue, New York City, wrote Washington and was surprising that the colonies were more distinctly in the national capital than in other cities. It is especially significant that a hotel named for the great Theodore Roosevelt, whose entire life was devoted to wiping up and destroying human prejudice, should take this stand. Mr. Shekhan, after vainly appealing to the hotel authorities in an effort to arrange satisfactorily for the comfort of the colored gentlemen, then said that he could not be responsible for the treatment which would be accorded them by the Washington people.
Recovery Shelden's Efforts
Secretary Sheldon made every effort to provide for the colored delegates. He offered to omit the conference luncheon, thinking that the hotel management would then agree that the delegates might attend the meetings without hindrance. But to no avail, as it is alleged that the Roosevelt officials declared no Negro delegates should move across the lobby, making them the concern concerning the hotel's attitude, declared that the Negro delegates were persons of culture and refinement, and "as good as there are in the country." The Brooklyn organization had planned to send several delegates to the Wash-

Rev. R. Dutton Builds $85,000 Church Edifice At New Rochelle Charge
New Rochelle, M. Y.-In 1919, the Rev. Robert Dutton was assigned to the pastorate of the mission work here in New Rochelle by the jate Bishop Evans Tyree, presiding at that time over the New York conference of the A. M. E. Church. The new minister found just fifteen members, worshiping in a little room behind the Barracks. For twenty years the little band had struggled to keep in tact their A. M. E. organization, without outside aid, and without assistance from the annual conference or general church. The little group, almost like the Israelites wandering from Egypt, had moved from point to point, subject to the restrictions and limitations placed up by them by those nations, sometimes heartless landmarks, and by the hardships inflicted by fuel magnates.
Pastor Dutton entered upon the work with energy and determination, rallying the few members together, struggling along undaunted and undismayed by obstacles and barriers. In a short while, Rev. Dutton and his faithful little group purchased a piece of property on Charles Island, and successfully erected a house of worship.
As a result of their faithful endeavor, the Mt. Carcel A. M. E. Church, the name given to the little mission, in 1922, three years after Rev. Dutton came to New Rochelle, was host to the New York Annual Conference, the sessions being held in a commodious and spidially appointed new church edifice that was the largest and the largest number of delegates and the most visitors being given a warmly cordial welcome into New Rochelle homes.
After four years in New Rochelle, the Rev. Mr. Dutton and people are in possession of a fine church, the modern church building being equipped with electro lights, a steam heating system, a pipe organ with motor power attached, and a lavatories, rest room, kitchen, dining room and water closet. The seats in the main auditorium are all cushioned. The church plant as it stands represents an outlay of $35,000, and stands as a monument to the unfiring mall and administrative ability of Rev. Dutton.
The pastor will go up to the annual conference bearing a splendid vote of the church, and it is believed that this will be the state body. Friends here and elsewhere out the conference are of the opinion that the Rev. Mr. Dutton will be chosen as one of the alternate dignitaries to general conference to be held in Rochelle, Ky., in May, 1999.

Repudiation of the white primary is something unheard of in the South, where it has faithfully and effectively functioned for some twenty-odd years as a checkmate to the Negro's participation in State and municipal elections.
But Savannah, scene of this unprecedented political insurrection, is known as one of the South's most progressive and liberal cities. Relations between the faces are usually pleasant. Lynching has never been a favorite sport. "Savannah is the best known town in the South," is an expression often made by Negroes. A bitter fight was waged by the white people of the city against "Jim Crowland" long after the Georgia Legislature had enacted the separate coach law. Savannah was the last to put the measure into effect.
away with the white primary, but demanded a change for sake of the poor white man, by saying: "There is no idea of abolishing the white primary in Georgia, as an Atlanta story hints. The only thing necessary is to lessen its expense, so that a poor man can run for office, as well as others. And this will have to be done some way."
To the foregoing the Albany Herald reported: "Don't you be so sure about that. The white primary as now operat-
The Negro, however, was in no way responsible for the revolt against the white primary, although the situation afforded him a golden opportunity to exercise his full prerogatives as a citizen as intended by the Constitution of the United States.
On December 12, the white primary for Mayor was held. Mayor Stewart and Capt. James M. Rogers were aspirants for the nomination, which always has been tantamount to election. The Democratic-Executive Committee ruled the Mayor had defeated his opponent by nine votes, the count standing 5009 to 5000. This decision was accepted by Capt. Rogers as final.
Rejected Primary Result
Anti-administration forces dissatisfied with methods alleged to have been reported to in conducting the primary, required to abide by the ruling of the Democratic Committee, putting forward Judge Seabrook, a jurist of unquestioned character and ability, as independent candidate for Mayor. Petitions were circulated, 6,893 qualified voters indorsed Judge Seabrook's candidacy and their names filed with the clerk of the City Council. The law requires not less than 4,683 petitioners. The administration forces countered by turning over to the clerk of the City Council several hundred retractions said to have been made by citizens who had signed Judge Seabrook's petitions. On Monday, January 8, day before election, the clerk of the City Council threw a bombshell into the anti-administration camp by announcing his refusal to recognize the Seabrook petitions.
This move did not in any way deter the Seabrook managers. They were insistent that their choice be put before the people at the general election January 9, and finally won their point. This was accomplished by securing ballots, blotting out the name of Murray M. Stuart and inserting that of Judge Paul E. Seabrook in red ink.
When the ballots were counted after the hottest and most spectacular Majority election ever held, in Savannah, Judge Seabrook was declared victor, the vote standing, Seabrook, [6049]; Stewart, 3052. A feature of the election was the absence of fights or disturbances of any kind.
Unable to take part in the white primary, the Negro citizens manifested active interest in the general election. There are 1000 qualified colored voters in Savannah. Twelve hundred voted, 1100 supporting Judge Seabrook.
At the eleventh hour a campaign was inaugurated to intimidate colored voters. Pacards were posted on all churches and halls warning Negroes to remain away from the polls. "This is a white man's fight, keep away!" the signs read. They bore a crude picture of a skull and cross bones. Instead of frightening the colored voters this time had the opposite effect. Many who had been apathetic became deeply interested in the campaign.
Nogro Mode History
Under the caption, "Made History," the Savannah Tribune, the most influential Negro weekly in Southern Georgia, commented on the election of Judge Seabrook in the following vein:
"The action of the colored voters in lining up with the large number of the very best white citizens in the recent city election is very commendable. They dill so readily and enthusiastically. They did so loyalty with the hope only of making our city better in which to live. They went into it for principle and spurred the offers made by the other faction.
"The action of ninety-nine per cent of our people on last Tuesday has given the lie to the assertion that they are purchasable. Scores of our women worked like Trojans, many of our men sacrificed their time during the campaign without the least compensation of pay. Not only that, all expenses incurred by holding of meetings, postage, printing, clerical work were all paid by a few of our men. The white committee was not called on for one penny. This has never happened before in Savannah. It proven that the Negro is as interested in the best welfare of our city as our white friends. Because of our action during this campaign we are not expecting an early repeal of the primary law. If ever; but it has at least shown that whenever the opportunity arises we can be depended upon to do the right thing."
Of late murmurings of discord uttered by white Georgians against the white primary, have been distinctly audible. Complaint is made that the white man is being robbed of his fandiuse because of the law's unequality. It means that the scheme devised to disfigure the Negro is also doing the same man a grave injustice. John Calcumba (Gd.) Lager last November against the law of doing

away with the white primary, but demanded a change for sake of the poor white man, by saying: "There is no idea of abolishing the white primary in Georgia, as an Atlanta story hints. The only thing necessary is to lessen its expense, so that a poor man can run for office, as well as others. And this will have to be done some way."
To the foregoing the Albany Herald reported: "Don't you be so sure about that. The white primary as now operated is not giving satisfaction. The dissatisfaction has been growing, and unless something is done not only to make it so that a poor man can run for office, but to make it so that every vote cast will be its own unit and one man's vote will count as much as another's vote, the growing dissatisfaction amongst the people is going to reach proportions of a revolt. Our primary has become our real elections. Two things are going to have to be done if the white primary survives much longer—(1st) the State must provide for paying the expenses, thereby dispensing with the assessment of candidates by executive committees, (2nd) abolish the county unit system which practically disfranchises so many of the voters in the State election. Either the State primary or the county unit system must go."
Primary is a Monace
Judging from the Savannah mayoralty election the revolt predicted by the Albany Herald occurred much sooner than had been anticipated. Additional proof that this unfair political system is a menace to representative party government is reflected in the city election held in Atlanta last December when the Mayor and entire ticket were chosen by the casting of only 1370 votes. A white primary had previously decided the outcome.
Atlanta has a population of over 200,000, of which 65,000 are colored. Although owning valuable property and paying thousands of dollars annually in taxes, they are not permitted to have a voice in the affairs of the local government. It is another flagrant case of taxation without representation. The only municipal election in which the Atlanta Negro is permitted to vote is when a bond issue is before the people. Then they may have a say about giving the city authorities more money to spend, but at no time can a colored taxpayer express by his ballot who should handle the funds or how they are to be handled. Quite a Quixotic status to hold in the body politic.
There is pending in the United States Supreme Court a suit brought by Negroes of Houston, Tex., to test the constitutionality of the white primary in Texas, C. N. Love, editor of the Texas Freeman, one of the plaintiffs in the suit, recently in the column of his paper bewailed the action of the city administration in putting out of business the San Felipe juniary line and all lines owned by Negroes. In referring to the incident he said:
"Several reasons are assigned for this, but the main reason is Negro voters as a class, are powerless at the ballot box, for they have no remedy as other races. In some respects the Negroes themselves are responsible for this condition. As a race group they have as yet to learn the importance of becoming qualified voters. In the main, they flatly refuse to pay poll taxes, even when the opportunity is afforded and when the exigency of the situation demands it as other racial groups do.
"What does the jitney man care about a poll tax? Furthermore, what does the average Negro or professional man care about a poll tax? Absolutely nothing, judging from their activities during political campaigns when they have the opportunity to stand up and be counted. Last Saturday at Precinct 19, we had an abundant opportunity to witness the interest and attitude of Negro voters qualified to vote, but who did not vote either for the bond issue or charter amendments, measures that affected them vitally as much as they did other races which availed themselves of the voting privilege."
An Apoptotic Condition
When in Houston some months ago many of the leading Negro citizens complained to me that the only chance they were given to exercise their right of franchise was when an election was held to vote for a bond issue. As in Atlanta the colored man can vote to swell the treasury fund, but that is where his prelegatives as a voter abruptly ends. It may be that the Negro's apathy at the polls on this occasion was intentional and that they desired this lack of interest to be interpreted as a protest against the white primary.
Editor Love's accusation that the Negro is indifferent to laure of the ballot box seems to be borne out by facts and figures. From the ranting and grashing of teeth by the political demagogue about Negro domination those not conversant with the facts would be inclined to believe the Negro was playing politics day and night to annihilate his white brother. Take the Savannah general election, for example. Of the one hundred thousand and more inhabitants, forty thousand and are Negroes. Of this number 1900 are qualified to vote. Yet in the most assured Mayoral election in Savannah
nah's history 1200, colored men and women went to the poll.
In Atlanta, less than $200 colored people are qualified voters out of 65,000. To be eligible to vote the State law provides one must either own $300 worth of property or pass the educational test and pay $1 poll tax. Georgia is not cursed with a Grandfather clause, and refrictions are less exacting than in some of the other Southern States. Many more Negroes could easily more these requirements were they so disposed.
Judging from statistics, the average white person is no more concerned in voting in the South than the Negro. Obviously, for the reasons enumerated by the Albany Harold and the Columbia Ledger, to wit: Because the white primary has so disfranchised many white voters and aspirants for office, until this system of running for office and voting has come to be regarded as a rich man's affair.
Perhaps if the truth were known, as quietly as it is kept, in the white man's primary (although the Negro has nothing to do with it), the unscrupulous politician finds it absolutely necessary to inject the race issue in order to rally a corporal's guard of white voters to his support.

Mrs. A. W. Hunton Marries Captain Floyd of Florida
(Special to the New York Post)
Fort Valley, Ga.—On Monday, April
30, Mrs. Addie Waits Hunton of Brooklyn,
N. Y. was married to Capita Flam,
Wendell Floyd of Jacksonville. Flam,
the ceremony being performed at the home of President Hunt of Fort Valley,
N. Y. School. The Rev. Father
W. H. Marshall officiated.
The bride was attended by her daughter,
Miss Unicee Hunton of Brooklyn,
Mrs. H. A. Hunt and G. N. Woodward of Fort Valley, and Mrs. A. D. Hamilton, Mrs. T. H. Slater and Mrs. A. W. Wilkins of Atlanta President Hunt gave the bride away and Dr. G. N. Woodward was the best man.
Mrs. Hunton-Floyd is one of the best known women of the race. She was the widow of the late William A. Hunton, who was one of the international secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. She was one of the first colored women to go to France for service during the recent World War, and had recently been traveling through the South as one of the field secretaries of the N. A. A. C. P. She was a pioneer in club and Y. W. C. A. work among colored women. Captain Floyd holds a high place among the citizens of Florida. He won considerable fame as commander of the steamer Dauantess during the Spanish-American War, and only recently he was presented the trophies which he captured from Spanish war vessels at that time. He is one of the few colored men holding a master's license, and has long been a notable figure in Florida's coast line marine trade. Capt. and Mrs. Floyd will be at home in Jacksonville next fall.
Methodist Women South
(Special To The New York Age)
Mobile Ala—Plans for an aggressive South-wide campaign against lynching were formulated here last week by the Women's Missionary Council of the M. E. Church, South, which went on record in unmeasured condemnation of mob violence and called upon the authorities, the pulpit, the press and all good people to unite for its suppression. The following resolutions were adopted by unanimous vote:
"Whereas, the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has thrown back upon each state the whole responsibility for removing this hideous crime; therefore, be it.
Resolved, That the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in annual session in Mobile, Ala., April 4-11, 1923, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make good their claim of the right of local self-government by proving their competency to abolish mob violence and lynching.
"That as citizens we assume our responsibility for the protection of human life and hereby call upon all the people of all the states, upon the pulpit and the press, to join against these barbarous practices."
A plan was adopted for enlisting, in an intelligent, systematic anti-lynch campaign, the 6,000 local organizations affiliated with the Council, which have an aggregate membership of nearly 250,000 of the South's most influential women. The plan provides for a study of lynching on the part of each local society, for the effort to secure in each state such special legislation on this subject as may be needed, for vigilance in the prevention of mob violence, for active cooperation with officials in bringing the members of mobs to justice, and for a sustained effort to develop in each community a spirit of good will that will make such crimes impossible. In persistence of these ends, the societies will seek the cooperation of all other religious and civic groups. The Council pledged to the campaign both moral and financial support. Mrs. Luke Johnson, who is director of Woman's Work in the Southern Commission on Interracial Cooperation, was relected chairman of the Council's Commission on Race Relations.
Southern Methodist women, led by the late Miss Belle H. Bennett, have for a number of years been deeply interested in the Christianism of race relations and have been doing very effective work on flight and.

Howard Debaters Won Inter-Collegiate Debate
Washington, D.C.—In the three-conferred inter-collegiate debate between Howard, Lincoln and Virginia Union Universities, held on April 27, Howard, for the second consecutive year, carried off the honors. It was the first time that Virginia Union had lost a debate in Richmond. Howard's team against Union was composed of G. Glenn Carrington, F. H. Robb and L. E. Ning, defending the negative of "Resolved, That France is justified in her occupation of Germany in order to collect the reparation guaranteed by the Veritasilles Treaty." Arthur M. Brody, A. C. Gilbert and J. A. Curry formed the other team which defended the affirmative, appearing in the Rankin Memorial Chapel against Lincoln University. Prof. Montgomery Gregory was in charge of the teams, assisted by Prof. Brinch. The contexts are supervised by the Kappa Sigma Dehating Society, Yancey L. Sima, president, and arrangements were perfected by Edward W. Anderson.
Another recent event of interest was the presenting of several scenes from Shakespeare's plays by the Howard Players. On Friday evening, May 4, at Ranald Memorial Chapel, the young folks presented scenes from "Osullo," "The Merchant of Venice," "Romeo and Juliet," "As You Like It," and "Midnight's Might Dream."

The parade left the school at 2 o'clock, covering the main business and residential portions of Fort Valley. Rev. T. J. Crawford, marshal of the day, mounted, headed the parade, followed by an auto truck bearing the school band. Then came twelve girls representing various departments of the school and eighteen artistically decorated The float which evoked the most applause represented "Fairy-Land," bearing the Queen of the Day, Miss Millie Adams. Seated on the steps of the throne were Misses Sallie Clark and Cora Dentley. This float was drawn by twenty-six ladies in waiting. The Training School float bore a gigantic May basket filled with little girl flowers, guarded back and front by Misses Frances Frambo and Dorothy Clark as angels.
The judges made the following decisions:
The best decorated Hunt-Training School, most effectively decorated car-L. R. Bywater.
This festival program was given after the school athletic field. The dances were presented by Miss Iner P. Brockway, director of physical education, assisted by Miss A. M. Glaze at the piano.

Lawrenceville, Va—In St. Paul's Chapel, the Rev. Cephas Edward Green, deacon, in charge of St. Luke's, Edgerton; St. Thomas', Totaro; and the new mission at Emporia, St. James, was advanced to the priesthood by the bishop of the diocese, Rt. Rev. Beverley D. Tucker.

The Columbia State, one of the Southern daily newspapers which has discussed the migration of Negro workers with cander and originality, called attention to the recent bitter expression of the New York Herald, as embodying the doctrine of "Negro exclusion." It called upon the Negro press of the North to take warmth of this attitude, which would break down the present restrictions against foreign immigration in order to keep the Negro from coming North in greater numbers. It sums up this attitude as follows:
The American Negro's opportunity, by reason of the checks on European immigration, is brighter and better today than it has been since the first slave landed. The Herald would destroy it—and it speaks for millions.
The contention that the Herald speaks for millions may be admitted in the way of capital, as its proprietor is undoubted. By a capitalist who thinks and acts in terms of millions of dollars, as was proved by his acquisition of such newspaper holdings as he now controls. His advocacy of the removal of restrictions on foreign immigration is possibly for the purpose of augmenting the supply of cheap labor and reducing the wages paid by capital in the numerous enterprises with which he is connected. His motives for keeping the Negroes in the South, where their labor is not fairly remunerated, is part of the same policy of keeping labor the cheapest of all commodities.
The restriction of immigration has opened the doors of opportunity to Negro labor and it is up to those entering this new field to make themselves an indispensable that they may maintain the footing as far secured. The race has the capacity for sustained and vigorous labor in all avenues of industry. The chief failing alleged against black labor from the South is the tendency to slacken its pace or to switch from one location to another, without warning of notice. Such erratic tendencies do not command themselves to the employers of large groups of workers. The expense of hiring and firing is too great to encourage such irregularities. The workers of today must prove themselves regular and reliable in their attention to the job in hand. A full week's pay demands a full week's work, not one week on and one week off.
Northern employers who are offering inducements to Southern labor owe it to themselves as well as to the workers, to give the latter a fair trial before clamoring for a reopening of the door to foreign labor. A fair wage and fair treatment in the way of working quarters should be supplemented by proper housing. No worker can give of his best efforts to the task in hand if he is huddled in cramped quarters and in unsanitary surroundings. Thought be taken to make provision in this respect before offering other inducements to this class of labor.
The State and the Herald appear to be diametrically opposed in the matter of Southern migration, but there is sufficient said on both sides to emphasize the opportunity and to mark the warning. This question should be studied from all angles, especially by those who are most closely involved in it, the Negroes North and South.
Waking Up to the Facts.
There are indications here and there that the white South is gradually waking up to the fact that the Negroes are moving in such numbers as to prove a serious inconvenience at least. Having found that such highhanded measures, as jailing labor agents and arresting or dispersing those workers gathered at railroad stations to take a train, failed to lessen the butting tide, the more thoughtful students of the movement have counseled a recourse to other methods of a more pacific nature.
For instance the Jackson, Miss, "Daily News, in a recent discussion of the remedies offered, said, 'Why not tell the truth about it?' and concluded with the following suggestions:
We can still the restless migratory spirit of the Negro in the South only by going to it life is made a little more pleasant for him; by giving him wages sufficient to support his family decendly; by protecting him in all his rights, social, legal and moral; by giving him an honest deal all his transactions and not
Imposing on his ignorance or credulity.
This may not be pleasant reading for a lot of folks, but it is the cold and indisputable truth, and we may as well face it.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal is not so outspoken, as it contends that "opportunity is better for the Negro in the South than in the North." Nevertheless it admits that "here and there Negroes have been robbed and they have been exploited." It further stated that it never had attempted to deceive Negroes and said:
It does not take much stock in the old sentiment about the old mammies and the old uncles. It has never condoned a lynching and never will; the lynching of a white man and the lynching of a Negro are violations of the law, and when any group of men start out to do something that is unlawful they do a harm to the republic which, if persisted in, will destroy it. The Commercial Appeal believes that the Negro under the law should have his rights, he should have the property that he earns. Down here we believe that he is coming into these things.
These admissions and concessions by such leading exponents of Southern white opinion show that the thoughtful leaders of that section are arriving at a proper understanding of the reasons underlying the departure of the black workers. Whether they can so impress these reasons, and the necessity for changing the conditions that underlie them, so that they may be remedied, remains to be seen. It is something gained to have obtained acknowledgment that the migration movement is not without substantial cause and that cause is not wholly economic in its origin. With these Southern newspapers disposed to admit the truth of the situation, it ill becomes such Northern advocates of cheap labor as the New York Herald to endeavor to gloss over the facts.
President Protects Veterans.
The announcement through the United States Civil Service Commission that President Harding has directed that colored eligibles be selected for appointment to the personnel of the Veteran's Bureau Hospital at Tuskegee and that the entire staff will be composed of men and women of the race, emphasizes the fact that this institution is not to be the prey of Southern politicians. The hospital was erected to take care of colored veterans of the World War and was built upon ground donated for that purpose by Tuskegee Institute. Its capacity is about six hundred beds and it was built for colored patients only, being pronounced the best of its kind in the world.
Notwithstanding the President's decision in this matter, a press dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., stated that a delegation of three white citizens of Tuskegee, consisting of two bank presidents and an attorney, went to Washington to protest against the appointment of Negroes as executive officers at this institution. Governor Brandon of Alabama was requested to accompany this delegation, but found it expedient to decline. The reason for this objection on the part of the whites to the appointment of a Negro personnel for an institution devoted solely to the care of Negro patients is hard to understand. The only conceivable cause for their desire to control such an institution would seem to be to use it as a source of political patronage.
President Harding did the right thing when he directed that this hospital should be marned and run by colored physicians and nurses. He also did it in the proper way when he directed that the personnel be selected through the civil service tests imposed to secure efficiency and fitness on the part of those to be employed. The interest of the veterans for whom this hospital was prepared should be the first consideration and every precaution should be taken to assure them proper treatment and attention. Having taken this position, we are confident that the President will maintain it as a measure of justice and fairness to all the interests involved. The manning of this hospital by competent members of the race for whose benefit it was established, is the natural and proper solution of the matter.
The fact that petitions for the nomination of Henry Ford for the presidency have been filed in eight Western States, causes the Baltimore Afro-American to say:
If Mr. Ford was outspoken in his ambition to be nominated at the next national convention there would not be so much anxiety in some quarters. It is quiet underground propaganda, evidently spreading silently all over the country among the people who are not politicians and not partisans, that alarm the leader.
It is impossible to measure the strength of the Ford candidacy by any rules known in politics. It is elusive and meanwhile Henry Ford says not a word. He does not even have any known organization, unless the men who and use his cars might be said to an organization. The fact that these eight petitions have been filed shows, however, that work is being done in his behalf.
It has been said that the wet and dry issues will cause more trouble in the nomination of a candidate next year than any other question. But Henry Ford's candidacy, if he is a candidate, will raise other questions which some people regard as infinitely more important and which others will view with undisguised alarm. He is the political sphinx of 1924.
Mr. Ford's candidacy for President would be breaking all political precedence. He is a business man strictly and yet is regarded favorably by the workers. His chief recommendation to the politicians would be the possession of a "barrel," but it is doubtful if they

A great deal of fuss is being kicked up over the seizure of some American citizens by bandits in China. It does not appear that anybody has been killed or even hurt. It seems that the bandits are holding them merely for ransom. The Chinese government is doing all that it can to meet the situation.
Now comes talk out of Washington, "Powers May Take Control of China," the opinion being expressed that some international action ought to be taken to prevent repetition of these bandit raids. The only thing left is to exclaim, "My God! When will a limit be put upon the hypocrisy of these so-called civilized nations?"
Where does the United States come in to take any such action with its record of nearly two thousand Negroes lynched in the last twenty-five years, and more than thirty burned alive at the stake since the conclusion of the Great War to make the world safe for deniocracy?
Of course, the powers would be glad of any opportunity to seize China, and we could look upon such action with greater equanimity if they went about it frankly rather than by taking it under cloak of righteousness.

I have finished reading in *The Times* some thoughts from Brooklyn of April 30, signed May Ellis. It is true things like this are shot into the columns of papers about a number of things people who do the writing know nothing about. She asks, "What is happening to civilization—what is happening to Christianity?" I wonder if she knows what the South is doing for the uplift of the Negro? It has been teaching him Christianity. It has been training him in a way that will fit him for years to come to live in this civilized country, and finally, it expects him to be as temperamentally qualified for the position some people wish him to occupy as those people who forget that he has only been from the jungles of Africa about 400 years, while we have been trying to improve our minds and methods thousands of years. If any one can transform the African tribe in 400 years and put it on an equality with the white race, who have had advantages in educational facilities for more than thousands of years, I will be very glad to see it done. C. O. McL.
Memories of the slave-market, of babies torn from their mothers' breasts, of terrorization and cruelty; memories of the Arkansas massacre; of the Tuita holocaust; of the lash in the Florida convict camp; and of stakes charred together with human bones that dot the entire South; memories of pregnant Negro women ripped open!
In the name of oppression, Jim Crowism, disfranchisement, unequal schools and the barred door of opportunity, we want to know if the writer of the above letter is merely joking or does not know any better.

PROFESSIONAL OPINION
of the most scholarly professors in the United States expressed themselves as to what, in their critical trouble with American democracy, and asked a remedy. The opinions of both these are daring and run counter to popular ideas. Two professors are Edward Grant Conklin, perhaps the greatest authority on biology in William McDougal of Harvard, and former one of the great psychologists of the world. Professor Conklin expressed the opinion that can development is hereditary and that the aim of developing mentally after he has finished high school. He said, "Each man's deficiency country the low average can be attributed to the situation of people having low intelligence quotient is an opinion which is bound to raise consider the general opinion is that mental capacity of soon environment, especially in childhood, irritation, and this popular opinion is in accord with ego. There is not a person who does not have had better opportunities he could have meant as any other person.
I believe the truth is somewhere in between—not endowed at birth with the same mentalized mental capacity under proper environment development, and that a superior mental end and starved through lack of such environment that a man can improve his mental faculty, stuffing his mind with information, but in one help but observe that parents of great men always have children of that sort.
Professor McDougal, on much the same premise Professor Conklin, declares that the only social ills of this republic is to establish an order to begin by disfranchising the mentally disabled and illiterates; in fact, to establish an aristocrat. His practical plan is to have mental aristocrats being class "A"; intermmediate, Class "C". He would prohibit internal citizen, that is, one in Class "A," with one under penalty of disfranchisement. He of such an organization would place politics of a reasonably select-body of citizens, man.
Plan of Professor McDougal's sounds alright we might be willing to try if we did not intend to to the fact that such a scheme has aritten in the history of the world. And what of government by aristocracies? In most cases many cases they have furnished examples of the world has seen, selfish and cruel; and have not been measurably superior to otherracy is not a complete success. Most like complete success, and for that matter, no form will ever be perfect, but we prefer to take ment where the ordinary man has the right some degree at least, how he shall be governed sometimes bad government.
Two of the most scholarly professors in the United States have recently expressed themselves as to what, in their opinion, is the fundamental trouble with American democracy, and one of them has suggested a remedy. The opinions of both these men on this subject are daring and run counter to popular ideas.
The two professors are Edward Grant Conklin of Princeton, who is perhaps the greatest authority on biology in the United States, and William McDougal of Harvard, and formerly of Oxford, who is one of the great psychologists of the world.
Professor Conklin expressed the opinion that capacity for intellectual development is hereditary and that the average man is incapable of developing mentally after he has finished the first year of high school. He said, "Each man's deficiency is inherited. In this country the low average can be attributed to the presence in the population of people having low intelligence quotients."
This is an opinion which is bound to raise considerable controversy, for the general opinion is that mental capacity depends more largely upon environment, especially in childhood, than it does upon inheritance, and this popular opinion is in accord with the ever present ego. There is not a person who does not like to believe that if he had had better opportunities he could have made the same development as any other person.
We believe the truth is somewhere in between—that all persons are not endowed at birth with the same mental capacity, but that a limited mental capacity under proper environment is capable of great development, and that a superior mental endowment may be cramped and starved through lack of such environment. There is no doubt that a man can improve his mental faculties, not, however, by stuffing his mind with information, but by thinking. Neither can one help but observe that parents of great intellectual capacity do not always have children of that sort.
Professor McDougall, on much the same premise as the one taken by Professor Conklin, declares that the only cure for the mental and social ills of this republic is to establish a super-state. His idea is to begin by disfranchising the mentally deficient, convicted criminals and illiterates; in fact, to establish a government of intellectual aristocrats. His practical plan is to have three classes; the mental aristocrats being class "A"; intermediates, Class "B"; defectives, Class "C". He would prohibit intermarriage between a full citizen, that is, one in Class "A," with either of the other classes, under penalty of disfranchisement. He declares that the result of such an organization would place political power in the hands of a reasonably select body of citizens, men and women.
This plan of Professor McDougal's sounds al right on paper and is one we might be willing to try if we did not have access to history and to the fact that such a scheme has already been tried quite often in the history of the world. And what has been the result of government by aristocracies? In most cases they have failed; in many cases they have furnished examples of the worst governments the world has seen, selfish and cruel; and at their best they have not been measurably superior to other forms of government.
Democracy is not a complete success. Most likely it never will be a complete success, and for that matter, no form of human government will ever be perfect, but we prefer to take our chance in a government where the ordinary man has the right to say and to decide, in some degree at least, how he shall be governed, even if the result is sometimes bad government.

Effective methods of handling the K. K. K. have proved to be a puzzle to most states. Even the United States Government has admitted its inability to cope with the situation. When the Congressional investigation of the Klan was abandoned, the Government admitted that not only did it not want to handle the situation, but that it did not know how to do it: The State of Louisiana
has tried grand jury indictments and law proceedings against members of the Klan charged with crimes. But it has not succeeded in securing convictions. Without question it is a difficult problem. The question of dealing with a closely organized, powerful and secret organization is not an easy one. Under such conditions the authorities are always working in the dark.
It appears to us that New York State has taken the most practical and effective means of dealing with the Ku Klux Klan. The legislature has passed a bill requiring all secret and fraternal organizations to file with the Secretary of State their constitutions and oaths, and lists of their members. The Ku Klux Klan, such as it is, cannot exist except as an absolutely secret organization. Under the glare of publicity which the New York law shed upon it, the organization must either dissolve or become entirely changed in its nature.
New York has pointed the way, and if every state will pass a similar law, the Ku Klux Klan can be destroyed or changed into something as innocuous as the many fraternal organizations which exist in all the states and do more or less good.
NEGRO THEATRICAL INVASION OF EUROPE.
The invasion of the theatrical stage by colored performers, which began with the production of "Shuffle Along," has been extended from New York to London and over to Paris. After the dissolving of the Williams & Walker and the Cole & Johnson Companies there followed a period of about ten years in which the Negro was almost completely kept off the stage, except in vaudeville houses. In the meantime Negro theatres sprang up all over the country and colored theatrical talent was generally employed in furnishing entertainment for strictly colored audiences. These Negro theatres raised up a new group of colored performers.
No colored company was given a chance on "Broadway" until the appearance of "Shuffle Along." The "Shuffle Along" people had to stoop to conquer, but they were confident that they had a great entertainment and if given a chance could make good. The did have a great entertainment and New York immediately recognized it, with the result that the play ran for more than a solid year on "Broadway," and that is a record equalled by very few white shows.
Since the success of "Shuffle Along" Broadway has not been without a colored show. There are now two in the city, one a musical comedy and the other a company of serious actors. A colored show now seems to be one of the necessary features of Broadway night life.
And now the invasion has reached over to Lodon and Paris. Florence Mills, who made herself famous overnight with "Shuffle Along," has gone to London with the "Plantation Revue." The London manager who took her and her company over stated that he considered Miss Mills one of the finest musical comedy artists in the world; that she could be mentioned in the same breath with Yvette Guilbert and Marie Lloyd.
Some dispatches from London indicate that there will be the same sort of opposition to colored theatrical performers as there has been to the colored musicians. One dispatch stated that English actors out of work will protest against the importation of Negio performers.
A dispatch from Paris states that "The Emperor Jones" will be produced on June 3. A colored actor named Bengelia will play the part which was made famous by Mr. Charles Gilpin in this country. Mr. Bengelia is said to be the only serious Negro actor in Europe. He is a native of Africa but is reported as having a good education and speaking refined French. He has played with great success a number of parts in productions under the manager of the famous Odeon Theatre.
We hope that this invasion of Europe will be as successful as it has been in New York.
Florida and Minnesota.
The St. Paul Dispatch, under the heading of "No Darwinism in Florida," recently printed the following scathing editorial on the convict camp brutalities now under investigation in Florida;
Pussyfooting in Politics.
In an editorial devoted to "Pussyfooters in Politics," the New York Times, in its able but disingenuous support of ex-President Wilson's policies, a little more than insinuated that the series
Florida's legislative assembly has passed a resolution condemning Darwinism, closely following the convict camp exposures. The legislators probably took the view that it is a gross slander on apes and other four-legged animals to say that there is any blood relationship between them and some of the whipping bosses, sheriffs and other forms of human species found in Florida. The cold-blooded fiendishness with which Martin Talbert was beaten suggests that the whiper was akin to Dean Swift's Yahos or some character of heathen mythology. It is not believed in Florida that convicts are related in blood to horses, cattle of other live stock, as any man who would treat his farm animals with a title of the brutality inflicted on prisoners certainly would be severely punished before he had a chance to repeat the offense.
The purpose of the legislature probably is to show that Florida is not a state of which it may be said, as in Hosea, that "there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land."
And yet it was brought out in the course of this investigation that the Putnam Lumber Company, in whose service Martin Tabert was whipped to death, was owned by St. Paul people, citizens of the great State of Minnesota. It was to pay fat dividends to these Northern stockholders that the sweat and blood of the black and white slaves of the county convict camps were coined into dollars. So long as the lumber company paid the profits of convict labor to its Western owners, they were not too curious as to the means by which they were produced.
Having profited by this traffic in flesh and blood can these Western owners escape moral responsibility for the brutalities perpetrated in their interest? Are they not equally responsible with the whipping bosses, the slave-catching sheriff and county judge, who made these things possible?
There does not appear to be much reason for Minnesota to point the finger of soom at Florida in this matter.
How can migration be successfully stopped without a newspaper that reaches the districts where it is going on and tries its influence to halt it?
That is a pretty, big undertaking for my paper to tackle, but if the World thinks it can halt the movement by argument, it is entitled to make the trial.
Pussyfooting in Politics
In an editorial devoted to "Pussyfooters in Politics," the New York Times, in its able but disingenuous support of ex-President Wilson's policies, a little more than insinuated that the senior Senator from New York came within the category. The occasion for this veiled accusation was given in the following terms:
Senator Wadsworth in his speech on Tuesday announced his intention of supporting President Harding in the matter of the World Court. But as in duty bound—at least as in Republican duty bound—he had severe things to say of the League of Nations, through which the World Court was created, and expressed his unyielding hostility to it.
The Times then quoted the Emporia Gasette to the effect that this country is passing through an age of pussyfooting in politics. "Never before have so many men been voted into office after they had straddled the fence, carried water on both shoulders, and built platforms without foundations." All of which is deplorable but nevertheless true.
At the same time we should have considered Senator Wadsworth the last figure in public life to be used as an illustration of this tendency of the average politician to be all things to all men. On the contrary, the senior Senator has won the unique distinction of thinking for himself and acting with the courage of his convictions. This was proved by his consistent opposition to woman suffrage and to the prohibition amendment, despite the popular pressure brought to bear upon him. His refusal to support the Dyer anti-lynching bill, on constitutional grounds, while disappointing to The Ace and many of his constituents, was another example of his indisposition to play the part of the pussy-footer.
We may not agree at times with the attitude of Senator Wadsworth on pending legislation, but the charge of pussy-footing on his part is so absurd as to reflect upon the good faith of his accuser.
The Star of Zion recently pointed out a phase of duty in the Christian Church which is greatly neglected. It added:
It is our duty of recreation and play. This capacity to play is natural and universal. The man or woman who cannot play with a rest is to be pitied.
In the Negro Church, especially in the southland, about the only opportunity for the recreation of members is the entertainment. There has always been an element opposed to the church entertainment in any form. It would

The lack of appreciation has helped this restriction of privilege it can be accounted for in notice. The Church must remind if our own Christian society invent ways and devices for recreation and entertainment protection, it is vain to praise what the people do. You earn human nature. God never it to be done.
This is a sensible view of the necessity for recreation viewed from the safety standpoint. The duty of the charity provide proper recreation for its membership has long been urged in the columns. We are glad to see religious organ advocate such men.
The Africa-American Press, published at Charlotte, N. C. Calvin F. McIntosh, member of theeral Board for Vocational Education, follows:
The colored boy who wishes to come a farmer can now receive agricultural training in the schools of his community. In 17 Southern States which make enterate public schools for Negro national schools of agriculture have organized. In these schools, the colored boy is offered intensive training him for all branches of practical learning.
At the close of the fiscal year 1922, a total of 165 vocational agricultural schools for Negroes was in operation. This number compared with 133 reported for the previous year. They enrolled in agricultural classes in 22 numbered 4,004. In 1922, an increase for the year approximated 15 per cent.
The only limiting factor to the expansion of these schools is the lack of trained Negro vocational trainees, as well as for better trained mechanics and professional men. Farming is at the base of the productive operations and the boy who embraces it is all the training he can get.
Referring to the participation by this country in some form of a world war, the Baltimore Afro-American said:
But of special interest to the Negro group is the fact that Africa with its untold millions of undeveloped wealth will be the bone of contention among European nations for several decades. If some standard of international justice is not set up to curb the selfishness of some of these powers, these millions of colored people will be veritable slaves of first one dominant group and another for the next hundred years. When whole nations become ruthless, brigands or oppressors of men and women as necessary to set up same legal machinery to deal with them as protect weaker peoples against individual acts of criminals who will wreak harm upon them.
This is about as strong an attempt for the international court of justice advocated by President Harding as has been advanced. There is great need for protection of the weaker nations against the stronger, and such a court might furnish it.

It is an opportunity for the labor to solve in a large measure his problem. "He who controls man's sistence controls man's will." The employers of labor must have more work in order that their industrial life may continue to exist. They may for white labor to Negro labor because they have been taught by Southern that Negroes are thrifty and. However, if they can't get white labor they will try colored, and if Negro by his ability proves that the reason for his former condition is cause he didn't have the opportunity he will be assured of being maintained.
The race has the capacity for tenuous and sustained labor under adverse conditions. Let it adapt this capacity to better conditions and higher pay, without slacking or losing time in idleness.

sitive nature, afraid to do this, afraid of public opinion; another don't care and he succeeds. The sensitive people are the most successful when they are hurt by public opinion. They seem to rise above it and conquer. In reality we are constantly creating ourselves. We put off until next week. We do not realize the value of now; fears keep one down and bind one down hand and foot. "I can't, I can't," you say every time you "I can't" it is planted in your consciousness and prevents you that much from doing. The sub-conscious mind is what you have built up minute by minute, day by day, and year by year. Have you seen a garden, well taken care of? It is arranged very beautiful so as to appeal to any artistic eye, and then across the street the garden is not so pleasing. Weeds are allowed to grow. The soil is the same. "Why the difference?" you ask. Each gardner has thought differently. "As a man thinkin' in his heart so is he." The sub-conscious mind is a garden spot. If you have permitted outed beliefs of fear thoughts, they are the weeds. If they have grown up with you, you need to call your gardener in. It is not too late. A good gardener will select his seed, give it sunshine, water and careful attention. The same is applied to us. It is only what we select that comes out of it. Now is the time to begin. Psychology is a science that finds out what is necessary so as to change this condition physically, mentally and spiritually. You can do. You are not a victim of circumstances, but a result of the every day experiences that enter into our consciousness. Will you know more about yourself four or five years from now. If you learn how to direct your wage earning powers you will be making much more than you do now. I thank you.

Race Episcopal Clergy Want Deaconess School
Located at Washington
The colored Episcopal clergy of Greater New York and the outlining districts met at St. Philip's Parish House, West 134th street, on Monday, May 14 at 1 p.m. for luncheon at the invitation of the Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's P. E. Church.
Following the luncheon, the president, Rev. George M. Plaskett, called a business session of the body, the entire membership being present. The most important matter taken up for consideration concerned the location of the Training School for Colored Deacon-1340.
After discussion of the matter in all its phases, it was the unanimous opinion of the colored clergy assembled that the deaconess school should be located in Washington, D. C., because of the splendid educational facilities afforded by the Capital City. It was brought out that from correspondence and in other forms of expression, the colored clergy throughout the United States were a unit in support of operating the school at Washington.
Clergy present were the Revs. Genesen of Trenton, Jackson of Camden, Johnson of Montclair, Deaver of Atlantic City, Plasket of Orange, McKenney of Jamaica; local clergy included the Revs. Edmead of Crucifixion Chapel; Wood of St. Luke's Mission; Howard of St. Jude's Church, and the rector and curate of St. Philip's Church. The Revs. J. W. Johnson of St. Cyprian's Charmel and E. G. Clifton of St. David's Church were unavoidably absent.
After adjournment, the entire body went by invitation of Rev. Dr. Scott Missions Mission, Edgecombe avenue and held a brief service of blessing in the chapel.
The Negro Exodus.
(From The New York World).
Some indication of the magnitude of the Negro migration from South to North may be gained from the report of the Department of Agriculture that 13 per cent, or 3,000, of the Negro farm-hands of Georgia have come North during the last year. The movement is continuous and growing, and though Georgia is losing a much larger proportion of her laborers than any other State, the exodus is not of a local or temporary affair. Every Southern community is affected.
From the point of view of the Negro there is every reason for moving North. Farm wages are low everywhere; they are lowest of all in the South. Socially and politically the Negro enjoys much more freedom in the North. Added to these incentives to change are the discontent of returned colored troops with traditional living conditions; the breakdown of the contract-labor system, recent crop failures and general agricultural bankruptcy. On the whole, the wonder is that the Negro did not walk out long ago.
But if the South allows the emigration to proceed it will wake at some not far distant date to discover that there is nobody left to work the plantations. The whole economic structure of the South has reated upon a class of unskilled labor which is rapidly getting out from under. Not socially, economically or politically has the South made it worth while for the Negro to remain.
Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun and prominent in Missouri politics for the past thirty years, died April 24. He was Past Grand Master of Masons of Missouri, served for eight years as Municipal court clerk, of Kansas City; and was appointed by President Taft to special agent of the department of Agriculture.

During the afternoon's inspection of the buildings and grounds was made and later in the evening the visitors were presented to a capacity audience consisting of the faculty and students assembled in chapel.
Only one of the legislators present had visited Institute before. Accordingly there was expressed much surprise over the magnitude of the Institution. Delegate Jones stated that he had expected to find the entire school consisting of one building and a few students. He was, therefore, agreeably surprised to find a large and beautiful campus consisting of large brick and frame buildings besides the barn of the agricultural department.

Acid stomachs are dangerous because too much acid irritates the delicate lining of the stomach, often leading to gastritis accompanied by serious stomach ulcers.
Acid stomachs cause the treating gas which distends the stomach and hammers the normal functions of the true internal organs, often affecting the heart.
It is the worst of folly to neglect such a serious condition or to treat with ordination, especially in the trailing effect on the stomach acids. Instead get from any drugist a few ounces of teaspooned Magnesium and take a tea of teaspooned Magnesium after eating. This will drive the gas, wind and bloat. Right out of the body, Magnesium is not a cessac acid and prevent its formation and there is no sourness or pain. Isburated Magnesium (in powder or tablet form) is the most effective stomach, inexpensive to take and the best form of magnesium for stomach purposes it is used by thousands of people who enjoy meals with no more fear of indigestion.

Charlton to Dedicate
Abyssinian's New Organ
From a musical point of view, the most important feature of the four weeks' dedicatory services to be conducted by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor, and his congregation of Abyssinian Baptist Church, in connection with occupying the main auditorium of their new $300,000 church edifice, on West 138th street, near Seventh avenue, will be the program to be played on the new 3-manual Moller organ by Melville Charlton, A. A. G. O., of Brooklyn, who is recognized by musical America as one of the great organizers of the concert about regard to color. Mr. Charlton will be in this column before, as the first colored man to successfully pass the rigid examination, including both theoretical and practical knowledge of music and the organ, entitling him to academic membership in the American Guild of Organists, composed of the aristocracy of the great organ players of the United States. On Monday night, June 11, Mr. Charlton will play, and his program, embracing compositions from the musicians of all ages, from the immortal] Bach to the modern representatives of the French school, will be calculated to show the ample resources of the new church organ.
Annual James Reese Europe Memorial Service, May 20
Annual James Reese Europe Memorial Service, May 20
A note from President A. Fennor of the Cief Club, 134 West 38rd street, announces that the annual memorial service in honor to the founder of that organization, the late Lieut. James Reese Europe, will be held on Sunday afternoon, May 20 from 4 to 5 o'clock, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, West 38rd street.
A special program is being prepared, including special musical numbers and addresses by prominent citizens who were associated with Lieut. Europe in his public career. Lieut. Europe commanded the famous band of the Old 15th New York ("The Hellfighters"), which won fame and distinguished honors during its period of service with the A. E. F. in France.
Lient F. Engene Mokell, now commanding the band of the 309th New York, successor to the Old 18th, and who succeeded Lient. Europe in command of the old organization, will direct the Clet Club orchestra on the occasion of the memorial, and William C. Elkins will conduct the choral singing.
It is announced that the 309th Regiment, New York National Guard, under command of Col. Arthur Little, with his staff and the entire regimental personnel, including the 309th band, under direction of Lient Mokell, will take part in the memorial service. The regiment will form at the armory, 130th street and Seventh avenue, and proceed down Seventh avenue to 110th street, thence to Central Park West, down to 90th street, west to West Eighth avenue, south to 61d street, east to Amsterdam avenue, south to 52th street, east to Eighth avenue, then to 53rd street and to the church.
Lawrence Brown Has Made Himself a Place in London
When Roland Hayes left, America for his first essay into British music circles, he was accompanied by a young colored priest, Lawrence B. Brown, a New England product who was set down as accompanist for the tenor, Mr. Brown had served in this capacity on a number of occasions and had proven to the most critical that he possessed the requisite ability to supplement and support the finished artistry of Mr. Hayes. When Hayes left England and journeyed into continental countries winning his way into the hearts of his hearers, Gallie, Latin and Teenon, it must have been that he left Brown in England. At any rate, through the courtesy of Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson, I am in possession of a copy of an program for a recital at Wigmore Hall, London, (the scene of Hayes' first English appearance, by the way on March 22, at which time young Brown appeared both as composer and pianist making a definite bid for recognition as a musician of parts.
In this recital Mr. Brown was a co-artist with three English girls, the Harrison sisters, Margaret, violinist; Beatrice, cellist, and May pianist. The young American Negro was at the piano in the opening number, Hardenell's "Double Sonata" with violin and cello. The feature number of the program was a group of Negro Spirituals arranged by Mr. Brown for cello and piano, played by himself and Beatrice Harrison.
The London Post music critic said of this, "We all met on the common ground of the Negro Spirituals as arranged for cello and piano by Mr. Lawrence Brown, ... wistful and tender, with just that touch of pathos which leads one to expect a break, in the voice at the next bar. They were so much appreciated that "Swing low, sweet chariot" had to be repeated.
The Daily Graphic reviewer wrote: There was so much pathos about the Negro Spirituals that young Brown was specially arranged, for cellb and piano, for Beatrice Harrison, that some of the audience cried quietly, as the talented English girls and the Negro made their instruments speak the sad poetry of the once down-trodden earth. People encored, so the two artists gave one of the oldest most-loved songs "Swing low, sweet charlot" several colored folks in the audience were quite overcome. Lawrenceown received many congratulations the artists' room. His 'bogest' was big cats in a white box tied with
Paine College Glee Clubs
in 18th Annual Part
In 18th Annual Recital Angusta, Ga. The eighteenth annual recital of the Paine College Glee Clubs under the leadership of W. S. Peyton, was given before a critical audience at Lenox Theatre on May 3. The glee clubs were assisted by Miss Josie Smith, contralto, and Charles J. Harris, pianist, the latter being connected with the music department of the State College at Orangeburg, S. C.
The singing of the clubs was a treat to the large audience, displaying warmth, color and hormonic blending that was most pleasing. Captola Dent as pianist, with Miss Ruby Thomas, accompanist, gave Mr. Peyton splendid assistance.
The playing of Charles, J. Harris in two groups for the pianoforte was of a character that entitles him to the serious consideration of towers of magic endeavor of the higher order. The "Turkish March" from "Ruins of Athens" by Beethoven-Rubinstein, and the Chopin "Marche Funebre," comprising his first group, offered opportunity for some masterful playing. His final number, "Scenes from an Imaginary Ballet," by Coleridge-Taylor, was a tone picture. Technical development eliminated physical difficulties and the interpretation was given with a clarity and definiteness not always to be heard.
The singing of Miss Josie Smith was possibly the feature of the evening. She displayed a most unusual range for a contralto, covering some two and a half octaves, but in her upper register she disclosed soprano tones rather than contralto. But the effect was always pleasing. Her offerings included Johnson's "Song of the Heart" and Ford's "Sanctuary."
Lois Bailey, a sixteen-year-old high school-miss, sang Cadman's "Land of the Sky Blue Waters," making her first appearance on the concert stage, and disclosed a voice of great promise. She is studying with Miss Ruby Thomas. A quartet composed of the Misses Bailey and Reginia Hanom, sopranos; Elizabeth Rochelle and Marie Haynes, contralto, sang two groups with splendid results.
Among the distinctive performances by the glee clubs were the singing of "By the waters of Babylon" (Coleridge-Taylor) and the "Bridal Chorus" (Cowan).
Virginia Normal Choral
Petersburg, Va.—Forty student singers, comprising the Choral Society the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, on a recent tour of Southeast Virginia, sang to large audiences in Richmond, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Norfolk. They were under direction of Miss Anna L. Lindsay, director of the school's department of music, with Mrs. Johnella Fraset Jackson, instructor in instrumental music, as pianist for the group.
The program, in two parts, included the best of the classics and Negro folk music. In Part 1, the society sang the works of Beach, Adams, Rodney, Kramer, Saint Saens, Speaks, Verdi, Bohm and Beethoven.
Part 2 was composed entirely of compositions by Negro musicians, vocal and instrumental, most of the compositions being by Henry T. Burleigh, with S. Coleridge-Taylor, F. A. Clarke and Nathaniel Dexter represented.
$25,000 Organ Built As
Memorial to Dr. Frissell
Hampton Institute, Va.-During the fifthth anniversary celebration at Hampton, the service of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal from 1893 to 1917, was commemorated by the presentation of the Frissell Memorial Organ, purchased by the Palmer Fund, consisting of monies entrusted many years ago to George Foster Peabody by William J. Palmer, a "Quaker gentleman who became a general."
The organ cost $25,000 and was built by the Skimmer Organ Co. Ernest Martin Skimmer, the builder, was present at the dedication, and the first recital was played by Chandler Goldwhite, municipal organist of St. Paul, Minn. The dedicatory speech, made by Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute, was printed in the last issue of The Age.
Dr. James E. Gregg, principal, accepted the organ, declaring that organ music expressed uniquely the reverence and beauty which characterized the mind, heart and spirit of Dr. Frissell.
Mr. Goldhwaite's playing demonstrated the fine qualities of the organ, and he was shown caused Mr. Skinner to declare that the organ was being left among friends.

AT THE LAFAYETTE THEATRE
"Follow Me," one of the most successful musical comedies of the season, is receiving a warm welcome in a return engagement at the Lafayette this week. Marshall Rogers, who takes the leading comedy role in the place of Billy Higgins, is easily as funny, and he, with Clifford Ross, keeps the audience laughing while on the stage. Susie Sutton, Ernest Whiteman, Alice Gorgas, Jola Young and Lena Liggett also good work. The next week's attraction at this theatre will be "Get Set," a new musical show with Joe Bright, Ida Anderson, Joe Russell, Laurence Chenault, and several other well known performers. As an extra added attraction Riley W

Second Performance of "Debutantes' Follies
The "Debutantes" Follis, an amateur show by the Debentate's Club, which delighted a large audience at the Lafayette Theatre several weeks ago, was repeated at the Renaissance Casino on Friday night, May 11. The program was staged by Bob Slater, under auspices of the Beta Phi Club, an organization of young men. Because of lack of space on the stage, the choice of wore hardly as good as when first presented, but the individual numbers showed marked improvement. This was especially true of the DeLuxe Trin, Misses Marion Moore, Mabel Jones and Blanche Levy, which was encored repeatedly; the Argentine Tango and the "Liza" numbers, Miss Nixon's monologue, "I Love Me," by Beatrice Hargett; "Gallagher & Shean" by Edith McAllister and Tiny Carrington; and "Caroline in the Morning" by Mildred Foster, were also popular numbers with the audience.
A new number, "King Tut Dance" by Sylvil Bazil, was added to the show, but Miss Bazil proved to be a dancer of only ordinary ability and lacked spirit.
That all of the roughnecks of Harlem do not live east of Lenox avenue was evidenced by the disorderly action of many of the younger members of the audience, and when the president of the Beta Phi Club, Allen C. Stoutle, attempted to make a speech at the conclusion of the performance, he was hooded so by his fellow club members and friends that his voice could not be heard. This unnecessary disorder marred the effect of the show on the audience, and many were outspoken in their condemnation of those responsible for it. Dancing, with muscle furnished by Gus Creagh's Orchestra, followed the program.

LINCOLN GIANTS AND CUBAN STARS DIVIDE LAST SUNDAY'S GAME
In their first appearance in New York this season, the Cuban stars divided a double header with the Lincoln Giants at Protectory Oval on Sunday, May 13, winning the first game by a score of 6-2 and loosing the other by a score of 4-6. The opening game was a pitcher's battle between Dave Brown of the Lincoln and Oscal of the Cubans. Brown pitched the better game up to the ninth inning, when the Cubans staged a batting rally and scored three runs. Early in the game the Cubans got two men on bases with no one out and failed to score, as Brown struck out two men and the other hit a short fly. On several other occasions he pitched out of a hole, and the three scores made by the Cubans before the last inning came as the result of errors.
The Cubans gave Oscal much better support, although he too pitched a good game. Hernandez, the Cuban catcher, and Chacon, shortstop, were the outstanding players of the game, with Singer and Pierce doing the best work for the Lincoln's. The Lincoln's got a much better start in the last game, securing seven hits and scoring five runs off Padrone in the first inning. The Cubans retaliated by scoring three off Joe Williams in their half of the second, which with another run by the Lincoln's in their half of the second, was the only scoring done until the last inning. Joe Williams pitched the entire game for his team and showed some of his old time form. The excellent fielding of the Cuban outfield was the feature of the second game, for although the Lincoln's made some long drives, every ball that did not land in the bleachers or over the fence was caught. Despite the rain of the early morning and the wet grounds, the grandstand was filled with spectators and many were in the bleachers.
The box score was as follows:
FIRST GAME
Cuban Stars 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 3—6
Lincoln Giants 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0—2
Batteries.Oscal and Hernandez for the Cubans; Brown and Gee for the Lincolns.

AT THE LINCOLN THEATRE
As the critics describe it, "Java Head," George Nelford's latest Pamela picture, is the most compelling production, adapted by Waldemar Young from the novel by Joseph Hergesheimer, has been secured by the Lincoln Center and is set in May 17. It is a love story with the eternal triangle again in evidence, but this time employed so peculiarly as to make the picture more realistic in Harlem before. This is George Nelford's best production, in which Leontie George Fawcett, Ognan Haymond Hatton, George Fawcett, and the titular caliber, play the featured roles.

On Sunday morning the singing by the other under the direction of Prof. W. A. Calhoun was very tempting. Owing to his gathering, our audience was the gathering. Our audience was given his trip to Resene Va. in attendance upon the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Reports showed that the session were very successful. The baptist church installed by our pastor, Rev. George H. L. L. James, Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. A. L. J. L. pastor. Following President King's annual address the election of officers took place by the convention. Rev. George H. L. L. James, Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. J. M. Walterson of the District of Columbia, conducted the Bible Institute in the morning session. It was poisoning to note that Dr. W. W. Walterson of the delphis, Pa., who has been a member of the convention for forty years, was still able to stir the body with argument. On the evening the church found itself incapacitated for a sermon, were turned away when both compartments were killed, as Dr. J. C. Austin awayed the audience upstairs with his eloquence. The downstairs with a sermon flow downstairs with a sermon turned to Thursday evening, more than $7,000 in cash had been laid on the table for education and admissions, and over $11,000 in pledges had been given to the dowment fund for the Virginia Seminary.
After giving the report of the convention, our pastor gave us a burning message: "Sunday-school under the superintendent of the school, and the superintendent enthusiastic over the May Day celebration, but there was a tinge of sorrow over all, being shocked at the death of Myrtis Molmes, who was instantly killed by the school staff. She was much beloved by the school, and she was honored by the Junior Class No. 4, who will sadly miss her. Our communion service in the afternoon was real food for the soul. Dr. W. W. Brown of the Metropolitan Baptist Church churched the children on "God's interest in His children." He was the sermon was unusually fervent, logical and doctrinal. The hand of fellowship was given to three persons preceding the com-
St. Marks M. E. Church.
On Sunday, May 13, the morning and evening services of St. Mark's M. Church were attended by large congregations. Mother's Day was litly observed in all departments of the church throughout the day.
The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a thrilling and heart searching sermon in the vast room to remember by every one in the vast room to be filled the large auditorium to the doors. The theme of Dr. Robinson's discourse was Mother's expanse." The observance of the day was under the auspices of the Mother's Club, Mrs. Alice Perkinson, president.
A large number of aged persons were gathered in the lecture room and followed by the auditorium. They were conveyed to the church in the auditorium placed at their disposal through the courteuses of Benjamin F. Thomas, Clinton Brooks, Rondine Dade and others. The morning sermon, holy sermons was added to the members by the pastor. After the service, dinner was served to them by the Mother's Club. Appreciation must be exerted by the members of St. Mark's Red Cross Society who assisted the aged members so tenderly.
The Sunday-school was largely attended and the collection good. There was a considerable concentration of the conservational services of the Epworth Lodge. The grammar was under the supervision of Mrs Carole Grimn and Mrs Ophelia Gayner. In the evening, holy sermon was admitted in full membership of the church. During the probationary five probationaries received the right hand of fellowship and were admitted in full membership of the church. During the probationary five children and two adults were waned at the morning service.
Miss Marjorie Robinson, a daughter of young people between the ages of twenty for Friday evening, May 18, at 7 p.m. to formulate plans for vocational general advancement of the young people. At both the morning and evening services the choir, under the direction of Prof. E. Jackson, rendered appropriate selections.
St. Paul Baptist Church.
The Lord blessed us with another glorious Sunday, which was celebrated as Mother's Day. The associate pastor, Rev W. H. A. Booker came from Colgate College to spend the day with his mother, Mrs. L. Booker.
At the morning service our associate pastor gave a short and helpful talk on the subject, "Our Mothers."
He said the mothers of today are more of a companion to their children than were the mothers of yesterday:
The Sunday school opened at one thirty. Instead of the usual lesson, the school rendered solos, duets and recitations. The following teachers assisted in the program: Sisters F. Thomas, A. Jenkins, J. Booker, L. Booker, F. Green and R. Warren, C. Moore.
At four o'clock there was preaching by Rev Hoyan, assistant pastor of Little Mt. Zion Baptist Church on "God gives songs in the night."
The pastor, Rev. H. Arthur Booker,
was at his host in the evening. He
spoke on "The Effects of the Gospel"
On Thursday night there was a musical concert under the auspices of the Lily of the Valley Club, and the Junior B. Y. P. U. direction of Mrs. L. Booker. The program: song by the church; introduction. David Daugherty: solo, Misses Brown, Dorothy Daugherty; piano solo, Miss Aaron Oliver; recitation, Masten-Moron Booker; piano solo, Willie Williams; vocal solo, Miss Gertrude Youngblood; recitation, Harold Jackson; piano solo, Lillian Henderson; duet, Miss Dorothy. and Elizabeth Daugherty; recitation, Alma Jackson; Miss Gertrude Youngblood was requested to repeat her solo; closing remarks by Chas Roberts.
Mother Zion Church.
Mother's Day was observed in Mother, Zion Church Sunday, May 13. At the 11 of clock service, there was a large congregation present. The sermon was preached by the pastor, Dr. Brown who used as his text "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord, thy God giveeth thus." He began by emphasizing the important part played in the lives and activities of individuals, as being due to the teaching and the influence of the mother. He referred to Carlyle, the writer, who on his 58th birthday wrote a letter to his mother, in which he blessed her and declared that she had done nobly by him, and all that he then was, was due to her kindly love and Christian teaching.
He mentioned John Quincy Adams, Lincoln, Dickens and Henry Ward Beecher and many others who attained prominence, whose oble achievements were due to their mothers' influence and teaching. He pleaded that his hearers would not fail to meditate upon the importance of mother's love, and if mother he alive send her a greeting and do whatever you can to fill her heart with cheer and love. During the delivery of the sermon, a silence prevailed which indicated that the minds of all constituting the congregation were wending motherward. It was a service in which deserving tribute was paid to the mothers who have done what they could to promote the cause of righteousness in the Christian training of the young. At is conclusion, twenty persons were received into the church.
At 2 o'clock, the Sunday-school hour, Mother's Day was observed by an appropriately rendered program, which was highly enjoyed.
At 3:30 p. m., baptism and holy communion. Five children were baptized. The sermon was preached by Rev. Duncan James of Brooklyn, and music was rendered by his choir.
At 8 p. m., the pastor preached an annual sermon to the Calumet Cyclers Club.
Next Sunday the Harlem Block Association will hold their first annual mass meeting at the church at 4 p. m. W. Willis, president. Speakers: At under the auspices of the Lyctum, R德man Harris, Mr. Washington, Dr. A. B. Graves, Couns. Dingle and Mrs. T. Smith. Soloist, Miss Revella Hughes. At 8 p. m. Dr. Brown will preach an annual sermon to the Blending Iceclub Club, Mrs. Carr Scott, presdem, and to the Willing Workers Club, Mrs. Ella Green, president.
The May Festival and Baraar will continue every night during the week. Good dinners are being served every day at 5 p. m.
Rendall Mem. Presbyterian.
Dr. Lawton, pastor of the Rendall Memorial Church, paid the following tribute to Mothers at last Sunday morning's service:
"Among the days that memorizeal great events and great lives in the nation's life, there are three that stand out most prominently among them all: The 4th of July, that memorializes a nation's birth and the stirring manhood of the American patriots. The second is the 30th of May, that memorizeal the great army of the Republic that defeated treason and rebellion in a fierce bloody war, and made the Union of the states one and inseparable forever. The third is Mothers' Day.
This is a wise and foresighted legislation. It is a legislation for national preservation. Years of study, observation and experience have taught the nation that there was something more needed for national preservation than a standing army and a navy—that the loyal and patriotic strength of the nation lies way back of this army force—that the men to win in the fields and on the seas, to be formidable in arms must begin their training before they come to the battleship deck or the camp grounds. The child is first under the absolute control and influence of the home.
"The care and attention in its helpless period, awakens a natural affection and devotion. It is also docile and impressible. The beginning is with the mother. What on opportunity! What a responsibility! The man, the husband, the citizen! The woman, the wife, the citizen! The character of his ambition, his inspiration, his ideal is first in mother's hand. The home with the altar and the Bible, the nation's flag and history, the great men of the church and country prominently displayed, made a wonderful impression for greatness and goodness on the mind of the child. This kind of environment and training lays the foundation for the best possible manhood and citizenship, which is the nation's muscles in war and backbone in peace. Mother is the hub of the home and the cornerstone of the nation. Keep before scriptural exhortation Mothers—"Train-up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:4). Remember children, that the first to greet you with love and the last to leave you is mother."
Abyssinian Baptist Church.
Mother's Day was fittingly celebrated Sunday morning and evening by mother songs and sermons delivered especially on women to women. The church in the morning looked like a garden of pink and white carnations. The people were greatly touched at both services, as was evidenced by 37 additions to the church and an offering of $545.72. The Eureka Temple of the Daughters of the Elks sent $25 toward meeting the payments on the new church and community house.

Grace Church of Harlem.
Grace Congregational Church of Harlem was filled with Mother's Day worshippers last Sunday. The music was all of the mother sentiment type and the sermon was a superb tribute to mothers. The Flower Committee had the pupit beautifully decorated with lilac, tulip, carnations and ferna. A. T. Strickland sang the song of a father who mothered the child whose mother had passed on.
The minister, moving forward in his grand cultery of the mothers came to the illustration of the martyred president, Wm. McKinley, who, when he was informed by wire that his mother was sick and growing weaker and wanted to see him, replied "Tell mother I'll be there." At this point the choir sang "Tell mother I'll be there," Percy W. Bean singing the verses and the audience was in tears. The pastor resumed his final remarks as a part of the sermon and closed by an appeal to those unsaved or unchurched to dedicate or redidicate their lives to mother's God. The following persons responded and joined the church: Mrs. Ethel Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Dandet Byers, Mark Parks, Barkley Phillips and Richard Trower.
The Young People's Meeting was in full swing at six thirty o'clock at the Parish House, Miss Virginia Simpson presiding; R. B. Leech was made secretary, and a music committee composed of Mrs. French, Miss Bell and Mrs. Bean was appointed. Rev. A. P. Miller spoke at the night service on "What the world owes to the mothers of the race."
The Monday night business meeting showed marked improvement in every department. The offices made plans for a children's spring festival of song and Pageantry at the Renaissance Casino; also a midnight and morning novelty attraction, starring Miss Grace Giles and terpsichorean artists at the Lafayette Theatre.
The Parish House is alive with every evening programs at 250 West 136th street.

As 41 a.m. standing room was at a premium. The aller was beautifully decorated with what was red cinnamon, white marble and splendidly. After morning prayer, Vicar Wood preached from Isaiah 45:18—"As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you and you comfort me." He said in part: "All who have an interest in mother and hepse are concerned deeply in the thought of the day each one of us will find his way into the field of his own memory. He will love him long ago, he will gather forget-me-nots and roses, and make them into a bouquet for mother. He will sculpt match the family group around the hearth. Mother, with the light of love in her eyes, and a dimpled cheek, happy child at her knee, outrivals Raphael's Sistine Madonna. Man with business of building houses in this old world, but in spite of all his mistakes, he has never done anything else more noble and enduring. God so loved us that we have loved him, and love lives in our lives. She is its life, its fragrance, its glory, its soul.
A 8 p.m. Year Wood preached to another packer house from Act 1: "We men packed up into heaven?" speaking of the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ into heaven.

Entering into this general landscape are many diverse and varied scenes of natural beauty which, with the richness of the earth and the stillness and calm the whole as unity in variety on a colossal scale, "God" Dr. Hyder continued, "Is doing this in the spiritual world around us, in the work which the christians of the world are doing, men often mistake variety for discord when, for lack of vision and perspective, they fail to visualize the work in its assemblage.
