Then the bishop is advised that as presiding bishop of the district his failure to take prompt action in the matter of which the church officiary is complaining will lay him liable to the technical charge of "maladministration or "incompetency" since, as presiding bishop the interpretation and entorsement of the law of the church is with you since the presiding elder is not a creature of the conference but a direct appointment at your hand and represents you to the extent that the dictum. Done by my agent done by me must obtain. So that to say that the presiding elder did it and not you, does not free you from responsibility. Charge "Imprudence' To P E The memorial in setting up the charge of Imprudence in Administration against Presiding Elder Thornton charges in two specifications that the presiding elder not only set up a group of people, who were former members in a new church under the same name and in their proximity to the parent church but that he also encouraged them to make claim to the funds of Union Bethel M. M. Church using as a basis for the claim the fact that in 1849 the original church was incorporated under the name of M. M. Bethel Church of Weeksville and that this original designation was never officially changed although an alldastar made by Presiding Elder Dilberton himself says "Yet the church did not any length of time bear that name but in the context had the distinctive name both in the local and in the general church as the Union Bethel M. M. Church." The text in the memorial gives the charge and Specification as follows Charge and SPECIFICATION CHARGE IMPUDENCE in Administration SPECIFICATION: Setting up a group of people who share withdrawals from IMMIGRATION A M I.

That is by presiding clear of public church about May, 1825 by virtue of an appointment duty charge as the pastor. Every reference held on or about the 26th day of May, 1825. That deposit has been a minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church for over thirty-three years, and that adjunct church is so close of the connection. That for the past thirty-three years joint church was known to your deponent to be Union Bethel A. M. E. Church and that twenty-four years past deponent has been closely connected with the said church, making appointments and other matters pertaining to said church which church bears the name, Union Bethel A. M. E. Church for the said period of time. Name Never Questioned. "Deponent says farther that it is his recollection that In the minutes of the General Conference it is recorded: Union Bethel A. M. E Church, the plaintiff in this action. That this is the first time in thirty-three years that any person or persons had ever questioned the name of Union Bethel A. M. E Church. That if the defendants now question that name the act is not in good faith but an attempt to belong the issue, or an attempt on their part to deceive the Court with respect to the name of the church. That although the church was incorporated as the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church, Weeksville, in 1892, it did not for any length of time bear that name, but on contrary had the distinctive name, both in the local and in the general church, as Union Bethel A. M. E Church, which deponent avers is the true name of said church, despite what others may say, having due regard to the chartered name, etc. MORGANDE W.

Church, the common name by which we are known by the public, so as to solicit aid from all the public funds for building purposes, to the amount of about $4,000. The group he set up in the same name as our church is souing us in court for this amount, shielding themselves behind the fact that in 1849 Union Bethel A. M. E.

It is a fair assumption that he (Thornton) is leading them in this as he has not only set them up in our name, but has designated himself as pastor until such time as he shall place a pastor over them.

Worth Charges Use Of Sticks and Ball Bend Men—Judge Suspends Sentence After a trial lasting three days Magistrate Oberwasser in January marketed Market Marker in Tuesday December berth Mr. Terry Tortella Smith, a lawyer, and Nelle Perry, dancer, guilty of accepting spoons for prostitution and removing a prostitute from the courthouse, acquitted of Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Act, who became interred in the case because it appeared as though the two actresses had been framed up, the judge promised to suspend sentence. But a blood test proved that both were suffering from a contagious disease so they were sent to the hospital instead. The trail also drew the attention of the Society for the Prevention of Crime and the Committee of For teen, two powerful organizations which have as an object of learning of crime in this city. The Society for the Prevention of Crime was interested in the case through Mr. Moore, and it was through Mr. Moore, and its lawyers, Samuel Marriott, and S. Segat, who defended the girls. Both gave liberally of their time and ability without any thought of financial remuneration. Marcus Demogress Police. After all the testimony had been taken, Mr. Marcus made an addressee to the court in which he charged that the evidence in this particular case had been secured by the ase of Abe White, a roomer in the apartment, as a stool pigment. His organization, he said, opposed the procuring of evidence in this manner. He also took occasion to criticise other evils of the police department and the magistrate's court. Specifically Mr. Marcus charged that certain members of the police force worked with bail-bond men and lawyers, and while there was no direct proof, it was generally understood they would change their testimony in cases where the defendant had money enough to "pay off." He also stated that it was an unnecessary interference for the Committee of Fourteen to keep a representative in the court so that representative could use his influence to have every one charged with prostitution convicted. Judge Oberwager replied at length to these charges and requested that any direct evidence to substantiate them, be turned over to him at once. The Judge denied the charge that there was "any fixing" practiced in his court. He also took occasion to make it plain that he had no connection with the Police Department and any criticism of that department should be made to the police authorities. Used Man As "Stool." Miss Smith and Miss Perry were arrested December 5, by Detectives Moran and Gertissen of the Special Service Squad. The officers testified on the stand that a complaint had been made against Miss Smith's apartment and they were sent out to investigate it. Officer Gertissen visited the apartment during Miss Smith's absence on November 21, and what tume made the acquaintance of Abe himself the acquaintance of He ingratiated himself with White by buying gin and visiting a cabaret with him. He then asked White to "fix him up" with a girl. White promised to do this if he would come again the following week. When the officer returned early in the evening of December 5, he stated that he gave White another quart of gin and $1 to go for a girl, who the colored man said he thought would please him. The officer did to return about midnight. He did so few times and the officer charged that she was given $5 to commit an act of prostitution, and that Miss Smith was given $3 for the use of a room. These charges, were emphatically denied by both defendants and their attorney pointed out several contradictions in the policemen's testimony. Testimony was also produced to show the best possible women working in the working class of the arreal. Miss Perry's dancing art making $250 per week Character Witnesses Heard. The following other witnesses testified as to the testimony: Charles P Quander, former secretary of the Black Stuart Record Company, for whom Miss Smith, Smith made records, Bob Slack, author of the Tibertical Archives, and the Colored Boyhood of the Colored Vaudeville Benevolent Association, Benny Better of the Inseterate Tattler, whose testimony was ruled out. Mrs Fornville, who formerly was landlord for Miss Smith, Dr. C V Collins from whom the Lenz avenue apartment was rented and Dewey Wettinglass, a performer. Despite this testimony the judge he believed the story told by the two police men stating that he was forced to find them guills on the evidence. In rendering the decision he pointed out that Miss Smith testified the made, no re-questioned the policeman's request that she fix him up with Miss Smith other than to say that she was a married woman. He also made much of the fact that Miss Smith was the mother of two children but was not living with her husband and that a man could the apartment with her.

"At the last meeting of our Committee of the Management, the Committee asked that a letter of thanks be sent to you for he splendid publicity which you gave the Branch during the period of our financial effort. We were highly gratified to have the campaign as successful as it was, and we feel that much of our success was due to your splendid cooperation. New York is a great big place, and it is so very hard to let people know the thing that you are attempting to do. By the generous response which we received from the public, we feel that there are many people who are willing to help the Branch and we have received our financial burden if the matter is only brought to their attention. We feel that you helped us reach a great many more people than we could possibly have reached in any, other way. We are sincerely grateful." "We also had one or two interesting letters from people in other sections of the country who were attracted by various phases of the work presented. We are hoping now that our campaign receipts arrive, we will be able to mark $2,000 mark. We are making an effort to do this, since the City has not yet realized its goal of $280,000, and the $5,000 which we went out to get is not one-fourth of the amount which will be needed to make up our Branch budget difference for 1926.

Nail As President Trade & Commerce Ass'n The Association of Trade and Commerce, organized about five years ago by a group of Harlem business men held its annual election of officers Thursday night, December 17. John F. Nail, who had been president of the organization since its founding declined to run for reelection, it is alleged, because the directors failed to approve his plan of changing the club headquarters into a business building with larger offices. The candidates for president were Pope B. Billups, former assemblyman, and George W. Harris, former alderman. Mr. Billups was elected by a large majority The other officers chosen were H Adamol Howell first vice presidents Dr. J. A. Banks, second vice president.

Females, even dollars, are generously dropped into their net-covered pots because of the appeal of the bells. But what is so the charities—worthy in dire need—that do not get the benefit of manly appeals and vicious marketing? Not merely now generally forgotten except by the faithful few who work on their boards of management, or auxiliary committees? Which charity is the Katy Ferguson Home which shelters the friendless unmarried mother and her little babe, brought into the world to face a fate that is veiled by a very uncertain future. A little while ago a visitor to the Katy Ferguson Home talked at length to one of the young mothers, whose case seemed especially sad. "If my home had been as pleasant as this one is, and if everyone there had been as pleasant as this one is, everyone here. I would not have been here." Tears were in her eyes, but through them she smiled and said, "But I am as happy as I can be, for by coming to the Katy Ferguson Home I have learned that there is kindness in the world, also motherly love. That if someone young woman has been recalled, and at this season when everyone is thinking of the happiness, of those held dear, how much brighter would be the holidays if a thought were given to this shelter for the girl who has lost her way, but who is willing to try again, who wants to redeem her life, who wants to care for her baby and is anxious to regain her place in the esteem of her family and friends? The increased expense of living, the enormous prices asked for coal and other necessities, and a depleted creature must be necessary for the Home to seek immediate help. There should not be occasion to compare the generosity shown groups to their social service institution, but the necessity of the charities controlled and conducted by the colored people of New York City are so often forgotten, unction of the public through the mention of the public through the mediance, or some other social event duum of a monster card party, a which gives those who attend the affair a pleasure that exceeds the benefit that the institution for which it is given derives.

They have two club rooms for their special use, with a piano and most useful, a gas stove for the making of candy and other good things. The grenium and swimming pool are neighbors to the club rooms and, on the whole, the location is entirely satisfactory to the girls. During the Christmas season, however, the Girl Reserves have spread all over the building and brought the spirit of Christmas with them. They have hung garlands of green all about and put wreaths in the windows and pretty soon they will set up a stately Christmas tree, gay with tinsel and twinkling lights. The Christmas tree always makes a lovely spot in the lobby and we all enjoy the beauty of it. However, it is most beautiful of the lit-up Christmas trees, with a hundred of them specially planned and who would perhaps, have no Christmas joy if all except for the Girl Reserves, loyal and True! The children are sent to the Charity Organization Society and come for the party and tree on Christmas Eve afternoon. This is New York, it is true, a charmed for rather disagreeable and "some-time" winter weather, but we have Miami and Palm Beach right here in our indoor swimming pool.

HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Following operations open the throat or within the abdomen it is not impossible to find a few cases of pneumonia, but on the whole, patients recover from surgical work without having this disease. When pneumonia develops after operation it is by no means "the fault of the doctors and nurses." Of course, if during the operation there was serious exposure of the patient, or if, when he was returned to his bed in his room, he was allowed to lie with the blanckets thrown off, we might feel that carelessness was the cause of the development of the disease, but this practically never occurs. One of the first lessons, and the last lesson of the nurse, is the exceedingly great care which must be taken of a surgical patient. The doctors first teach that to the nurses. They practice their preachments. It is a fact that ether, and, such necessary anaestheties are somewhat irritating to the lung tissue, and add the lowering of the body's resistance after or during the shock of an operation and the chance for the patient to breathe into his lungs material from his nose and throat, and you have an array of causes for the very few cases of postoperative pneumonia. It has not been demonstrated that chloroform is less irritating than ether, but many people believe this to be true. But if you use chloroform all during a prolonged operation, you always risk heart complications. There is never advantage without some disadvantage in there? Yet what do doctors recommend of the mercurial agencies just because there is a small risk. And I assure you the risk is very small indeed in these days of modern skill and inventions. Out of a series of cases numbering 52,842, only 46 patients developed pneumonia, and most of these recovered from it. Therefore, you can see that the risk of pneumonia is not great after operation.

Measles may attack children of any age. It has been reported in the newborn, but it is most common from one to two years of age. Let an impress upon you that Measles is spread by direct contact with the discharges from the nose and mouth of an individual who has the disease, especially in the spray of the spores and cough. Beware them, that other children slick or well, do not cough at sneezes in your child's face. Caution your child against taking a bite of another child's candy or Measles manifests itself in stages that is we divide the course of the disease in such a way for convenience. The first stage lasts from the time of inflection to the appearance of the fever. This is usually about ten days. Doctors call this the period of incubation. The second stage, or period of invasion, is marked by a rise in temperature. This varies from 102 to 105 and lasts for three or four days. There may be periods when the temperature goes down to normal and you may think you can dispense with your doctor's services but the next day reveals your mistakes. Catarial symptoms appear during this stage too. The eyes become watery, the white of the eye blood shot and the lining of the kid's inflamed. A discharge appears. This may be just white material ("cold") or it may be like pus. The throat becomes sore. There is a cough and perhaps hoarseness. Nose-bleeds and uncommon. The tonsils are swollen and inflamed. The frame may be a tide of the grunt. Then we have the appearance of the characteristic spots which have, been named after Doctor Koplick. Your own doctor will have to recognize these. We want you to remember these facts, namely, YOUR CILD MAY HAVE HAD MEASLES 10 DAYS BEFORE YOUR CILD WAS RUN A BAYER TO FOUR DAYS BEFORE YOUR DOCTOR IS CERTAIN THAT THE CONDITION IS MEASLES. And moreover from what we have said it takes about 14 days before the third stage begins with the ERUMPION. So then if you call your doctor because your child has fever an least give him three days to observe the case it may take that long before sufficient symptoms and signs are present to justify the diagnosis of Measles. We will not describe the eruption or rash or breaking-out. The fourth stage is the period of convalescence which last three or four days. Every child with Measles needs THE CARE OF A DOCTOR! It should be unnecessary to say this. But we have been surprised by the lightness with which the condition is viewed by some mothers especially those of the grand-parent age Measles may be complicated, or followed by (1) absence of the ears, (2) pneumonia (3) disease of the kidneys (4) disturbance of the brain which looks like meningitis or sleeping sickness (5) derangements of the stomach and intestines and (6) TUBERCULOSIS!

The steady development of the work of the Young Women's Christian Association among colored people has been the fruit of a better understanding among the members of both races. This improvement in interpersonal relations has been a plant of slow growth, the work having attained its present status during the last twelve or fourteen years. It has proceeded on the theory of inculcating mutual respect and good will in carrying out the purposes of the organization. In pursuance of this policy the colored women have been given larger representation in the executive and administrative offices and increased consideration has been accorded their views on the conduct of the work. This attitude was emphasized by the election of M. George E. Haynes as a member. National Board over a year ago, Julia Derricotte was selected by the students to represent them at Christian Student Federation help. England Among the colored womc. chosen as members of important committees created by the National Board were Mrs. Ruth Logan Roberts of New York. City Committee. Dean Lucy Slowe of Howard University. Washington. Student Committee; Mrs. Emma S. Ransom. New York. Industrial Committee The Council on Colored Work is equally divided between the two races, four of the members being colored. The purposes of the Council are defined as follows to study the history of the Negro race; to discuss frankly and with unbiased minds the problems of the race; to plan for better racial understanding and for members of the committee to use their influence to cooperate with all agencies and individuals to bring about desired results. As a step toward the suppression of lynching the Council emphasized the need for a nation-wide campaign in education, to bring about the enactment and enforcement of needful legislation. The creation of right public opinion was recognized as necessary for the complete eradication of mob violence and lynching in this country. Another progressive step was the action of a sub committee composed of employed workers, which voted that all secretaries be paid commensurate with experience, training and present position irrespective of race or nationality. Much of the credit for the broadening of the policy of the organization and its progressive attitude in interracial work is due to Miss Iva D. Bowles national secretary of the Council on Colored Work, who has been connected with the National Board in an executive capacity for nearly fourteen years. In this period she has accomplished much good overcoming many obstacles and surmounting antagonism through tactful persistence. She has been a faithful and skillful interpreter to the National Board of the Negro's point of view. She should have larger support and stronger backing among the women of the race throughout the country. MR. DARROW CLEARS THE AIR The recent public utterances of Clarence Darrow the famous criminal lawyer of Chicago made in two of the churches of New York while shocking some of the clergy had the effect of clearing the air of some misconception and admitting the cold light of reasoning in some aspects of race relations. Mr. Darrow was introduced at the Harlem meeting as a champion of all causes not treated a champion. His abolitionist accounted for his interest in the cause of the Negro. It was at this meeting with the lead- ger, Neo ministers at Harlem seated on the platter, that he charged the Negro with being a blowing press. This was not a gratitude in thing at the clergy, as some tremor to take it but was to be taken as an exhibition to self help, without leaving too much to divine intervention. Independence in politics was recommended. Mr Darrow claiming that the race had made a mistake by giving practically solid support to the Republican parts. The discouraging feature of the situation according to Mr Darrow was the growth of racial prejudice in the larger cities of the North due to imprisonment causing delicate situations as that growing out of the Sweet case in Detroit within the house of a white man, and in the United States, when the New York Harbor House is an army, it has been required to meet with him, he glanced to require the thousand lives if any of them had any personal acquaintances among people. Darrow went into the room and acknowledged each one among the audience to the effect that the Negro is at right in his place. All Darrow requested the spoken to rise and then said to him, "You do not look like a banker or a business man, what is your occupation?" The man acknowledged that he was a laborer. Mr. Darrow then asked him if he did not realize that there were thousands of Negroes who would not suffer his acquaintances, majority of them being professional men, such as doctors, lawyers, authors and others with college education, who would have little in common with him. The point of his argument was to demonstrate lack in a congregation of so liberal a society as the United States; there was such a lack of personal knowledge of the real nature and status of the Negro. More exact knowledge of the capacity and possibilities of one race by the other would contribute to a better understanding and do away with unnecessary friction. Mr. Darrow's visit to New York has been helpful in clearing the air of some errors and misconceptions. It might have spared some ministerial susceptibilities if some other place than a church had been selected as the place for his oratory in Harlem. His things at religion were to be expected and if taken at their face value were harmless. CHRISTMAS. Once again the Christian festival of the birth of the Redeemer is celebrated with the addition of a few pagan rites. While most of the observance is confined to the church and to the homes, the tendency of late years has been to add such forms of general celebration as would attract the attention of the general public. Hence we find immense Christmas trees erected in the parks, we electric illuminations, and community chants using singing Christmas carols. It is a season for general rejoicing as the forgetting of grievances and wrongs. It is a time for the observance of a season of Peace on earth, good will toward men. SOUTHERN PRECEDENT BROKEN One of the standing precedents of Southern white journalism was recently broken by the Savannah Morning News, one among the leading dailies of the South. In reproducing a story written by Lester A. Walton from the New York World, on "Maid of Pullman," the News in its sub-head and the body of the article referred to the subject as "Miss Fitts." This transgression of the rule forbidding the use of courtesy titles of "Mr.", "Mrs. or Miss" in referring to colored person or Negroes may have been an oversight or it may indicate a more liberal policy of the part of the Savannah paper, based on the example of its New York contemporaries from which the story was taken. How great the breach of custom implied by the use of a title of courtesy in this case may be gauged by the absence of any editorial comment at the time of the death of the widow of Booker T. Washington in the leading white newspapers of the South, although Mrs. Washington was a true product of the South and proud of the fact. Upon inquiry among the editors concerned why no comment was made, the reason assigned was that custom forbade the use of the term "Mrs." in referring to the distinguisher dead, hence the omission to pay her a deserved tribute. How the precedent that would not yield in such a case could be so summarized by the Morning News is proof of its immateriality and the lack of any substantial basis for its existence. The South should smash a few more bad precedents that work only for the shame and degradation of both races.

It read Dear Mr. Moore, I want to congratulate you upon the contents of your editorial page of December 19. I seemed to me admirable from many points of view. I did not find much of it that fell below the high standard of wise discussion of varied and important matters of very real interest. I hope it will be widely read, especially I hope that President Coolidge may have the time to take in its discussion of the vital interests of our country, because anything that relates to ten per cent of our population is of interest to all I am. Very truly yours, GORGE FOSTER PEABODY. The writer of the above letter is not only likely known as a philanthropist, but as financier of keen ability and an individual high intellectual attainments, who would ve made his mark in any of the learned The writer of the above letter is not only widely known as a philanthropist, but as a financier of keen ability and an individual of high intellectual attainments, who would have made his mark in any of the learned In carrying out this new policy, the need of encouraging workers to better fit them allows for a job in a necessary part of the program. The industrial committee of the Urban League which has canvassed the field has taken this fact into account and will undoubtedly adopt measures to meet this need. The reorganization of the industrial and employment work of the league along the lines proposed should increase its ability to serve the interest of the race in New York, where the range of occupations has been limited by custom and conservatism. The ability of applicants to branch out into new fields must be demonstrated and this can only be done through careful and thorough preparation. The means for obtaining this preparation should be one of the subjects taken up by the industrial authoritles of the league. Among the diversified activities of the Urban League, the report of the executive secretary showed that the care of convalescents had not been neglected. Of ninety-four patients registered, fifty-nine were accommodated at Lee Cottage on Staten Island and at Elmsford, N. Y. A branch has been opened at Columbus Hill. A significant paragraph relates to juvenile delinquency: "One of the greatest problems now facing colored welfare workers 14-18 of finding a place for the delinquent colored boy. Children's Village at Dobbs Ferry has already begun to eliminate colored boys. There has been on foot for sometime a definite scheme engineered by a few designers to aggregate the delinquent colored boy in separate lifeshifts has been offered through the Riverdale Orphanage in the increase of its age limit to include boys up to 14 years of age." The problem of juvenile delinquency is closely linked to the lack of industrial opportunity. Increase the number of openings for active and energetic youths in legitimate industries, where their interest can be excited and their energy expended, and there will be fewer inducements to delinquency. The Urban League appears to be on the right track to a further development of its value as a welfare agency for the betterment of New York as a place in which to live and work.

UNENFORCEABLE AMENDMENTS In developing the hypothesis that the Prohibition tide has turned and that the Volstead act will within a reasonable time be modified, the New York World in an editorial one day last week, set up the doctrine that amendments to the Constitution of the United States can be unenforceable. In this class it coupled the Eighteenth amendment with the Fifteenth. While not undertaking to sav what form the modification of the Volstead Act may take, it suggested legalization of 2.75-per-cent beer, a repeal of the punitive clauses of the act, decreasing appropriations to enforce it, or even the repeal of the law or the introduction of a governmentally controlled liquor system. But the neat of its argument was as follows In developing the hypothesis that the Prohibition tide has turned and that the Volstead act will within a reasonable time be modified, the New York World in an editorial one day last week, set up the doctrine that amendments to the Constitution of the United States can be unenforceable. In this class it coupled the Eighteenth amendment with the Fifteenth. While not undertaking to say what form the modification of the Volstead Act may take, it suggested legalization of 2.75-per-cent beer, a repeal of the punitive clauses of the act, decreasing appropriations to enforce it, or even the repeal of the law or the introduction of a governmentally controlled liquor system. But the meat of its argument was as follows In some way or other we shall see the Eighteenth Amendment reduced to the status of the Fifteenth. They are both unenforceable, and a sentiment which grows stronger every day is crystallizing upon the demand that the Federal Government shall not be corrupted and the national life disrupted by the poisonous hypocrisy of a futile attempt to execute an unenforceable law The World is a Democratic newspaper, in that it supports the candidates and policies of the National Democratic party, but it is honest in its expression and liberal in its sentiments. It carries out to a reasonable extent, the purpose of its founder, Joseph Pulitzer, as "an institution that should always fight for progress and reform never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight antraguages of all parties" and other altruistic principles. We must therefore credit the World with an honest expression of opinion when it declares that the Fifteenth amendment is unfitforceable, although it cannot point to any effort having been exalted to test this fact. The Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution reads: The World is a Democratic newspaper, in that it supports the candidates and policies of the National Democratic party, but it is honest in its expression and liberal in its sentiments. It carries out to a reasonable extent, the purpose of its founder, Joseph Pulitzer, as "an institution that should always fight for progress and reform never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties" and other altruistic principles. We must therefore credit the World with an honest expression of opinion when it declares that the Fifteenth amendment is unenforceable, although it cannot point to any effort having been exerted to test this fact. The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution reads: Section 1—The right of citizens of the United The Age Readers' Forum Committing on who follows loft the jury, does not give evidence to the judge of Dr. Sussex at Delbish, the Christian Reverberate of Philadelphia said: "The race won in the Sweet case. It was a mistrial. Had it been in the South or in Southern Illinois or Indiana it would have been guilty. It was almost too much to expect acquittal. If another trial is called, however, we may play expect acquittal. The absurd calls for acquittal; but as Dartow said, expecting a great deal in this trial men must expect in this men to acquit the expert for killing white man. But progress is being made. It beats East St. Louis. This is a sound view of the matter, even if it indicates to the side of optimism. Local sentiment in Detroit may be expected to change for the better. The Oldahoma City Black Dispatch announces a series of spelling bees, sponsored by the Colored Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, in cooperation with the State Board of Education. School district bees to be held in local school houses on afternoon of June in March. County bees to be held in local coochahonees on afternoon of 2nd Friday in April. State bees to be held in Oklahoma City at Tabbiechuck Church on Fourth Friday in April. Any colored boy or girl below high school rank may enter bees. A gold medal will be given pupil winning first place in State Bee. A silver medal will be awarded pupil winning second place in State Bee. A silver medal will also be awarded pupil winning third place in State Bee. A large trophy in silver will be awarded the school which sends the first place winner to State Bee. This effort to revive the study of orthography is worthy of emulation. As the rules specify that the words must be taken from adopted speakers used in common schools of the State, it would seem to bar simplified spelling The Boston Chronicle is authority for the statement that through the influence Emmanuel—God With Us! By Rev. E. A. ABBOTT "Mercy and Truth are met together; Righteousness and Peace have kissed each other"—Psalms 85-10 In old times how immense was the gulf between the Almighty Creator and the fallen race of man! God loved from time to time, through His acts and through His prophets, reminded mankind that He had not forgotten them. But still the cry of the human soul was "Oh that wouldst rend the heavens, and come down" "Oh that I knew where I might find Him that I might come even unto His seat" Human nature in its best side graves for soil there was naught else that could satisfy the soul, and yet it could not attain Him. Yet he high above, out of their reach. The last perfect God was entirely separate from sinful man But the Incarnation of the Internal Word has bridged over the great gulf between God and man ever since the day of the Nativity God has been with us in the person of Jesus Christ—Emmanuel! The Divine Righteousness and Luck of God roped and gathered into the priest the Receiving of the Perfect Manhood which He assumed in the Incarnation. God and man in one Christ—Emmanuel! Christmas Day has bridged over the chasm. God has become accessible to man even to the poorest and the most humble. Jesus has narrowed Himself to the limits of the dead child of humanity and breathed into him the breath of the new life (2 Kings 4:34) God would show us in the Incar nation that His delights were with the sons of men And even in the very circumstances of His birth, our Savior would draw us to His side. Living in the manger of that poor stable, how easily He could be reached? How agreeable He was to all. Not only to the rich and great but to the poor, the timid and the stranger. No difficulty of admittance, no questions asked, all were welcome at that open door. The Christ Child living there the Emmanuel, God with us was the center of all men, the Source of power and wisdom of love and sympathy. All were represent at that manger throne—Jew and Genile, rich and poor; all come to seek Him there. And still He is in our midst, the Reacon-light for all generations to come. At every altar of the Christian Cheth we find Him there in Spirit and in Truth—so easy to be reached, so close within our grasp Day by day, in love and patience. He waits for the homage of our lardy Of the Boston Urban League the management of the Boston Elevated Railway decided to employ colored men as postmen and conductors. Three men Alfred Clark, Lawrence Henderson, otherly employed, were unable to accept Moore is now in training. Several white motormen have regranted their positions as matrithers rather than break in a Negro. The Currents Union has not taken any stand in the争执 the railway authorities are standing to stand by an act of the legislature which states that they shall be no discrimination in the employ of the railway company. There is no sound reason why public service corporations in any of the larger cities should uphold a color line in the selection of any class of employees. Intolerance in the labor unions and fidelity among the directors are among the causes for this denial of employment. Complaint was registered in the St. Louis Argus concerning the treatment accorded Negro visitors to the Republican State headquarters in the American Hotel of that city. It said: The complaint is, that prospective visitors who go $_{0}$ there and ask for Dr. Clements, the National Committeeman, are shown the freight elevator and told by insulting ushers, "its the freight elevator, or you can take the bick stale." Of course, no self-respecting than or woman will venture further to see Doc. Clements or anyone else in a place like that; and as a natural result, few, or no Negro gets to see the Republican National Committeeman, be their mission ever so urgent. Dr. Clements know this condition exists and other party leaders know this condition exists; but so far as we are able to learn, none of them have raised their voices to the management in protests. We assume that the hotel management is acting by and with the caucus and action of the Republican State Committee, or else, the State headquarters could move to a more desirable place. Upon learning of this condition, we have been inclined to pass the matter by unmoticed. But we have a sense of the faithful to the manger of Bethlehem Alas' How often have we let Him wait, close at our very doors, maybe, because of some slothfulness, unusual reason which we might well be damned to acknowledge, even to oursuremotion for the seat of the shepherds who host our婴婴 with haste at the midnight hour to worship the new-born King! Oh for the perseverance of the Wise Men, who overcame so many and such great difficulties in the earnestness of their desire to behold the Christ Child—Emmanuel! God grant that at this Holy Season of the Christian Year our hearts may be renewed with holy fervor that we may seek Him with all diligence and offer to Him the worship of our whole being—body, soul and spirit (O come) O come, Emmanuel! And ransom captive Israel, That amounts in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appease. Rejoice rejoice! Emmanuel! Shall come to thee, O Israel! International Communities Collaborating Society Editor of The New York Age Everybody wants to know how best in practice one may conduct demise and business affairs in order to derive the greatest possible returns under the circumstance that one finds oneself. Every one wants the full measure for that person's expended energy or money. We realize from the many examples and experiences abounding and suffered that no individualistic effort can effect an individual return satisfaction to the individual today. The world agrees that cooperation as good but most of the people, and especially the poor ones, will not use organized cooperation in dealing with the difficulties confronting the collective whole in the process. In the five Boroughs which constitute the City of New York, I estimate our number to be at least four hundred thousand. This number of persons in the Middle Ages would have been considered a nation. Can you visualize for a while the tremendous physical, intellectual and financial ability we are letting go to waste, because we simply will not use the best instrument there is, which we know and need, and which has always been and ever shall be at our convenient disposal? memorandum to the case of this kind, We will not only call the attention the American voters of the area to this issue, but they may see that we have these great Republican friends and areas we can, but regard such areas more than the circumstances as an self-importantly to the Negro members in the Negro Republican Committee. Our State, therefore, is stay away from the Republican State Headquarters, while we go along just as well Without Dr. Clemente, the legislator do with them. The reight legislator is his vice president, as long as he has his members in the American Hotel, though proceeds by others. And yet, Republican leaders in Missouri expect Negro voters to support their candidates at the polls. Commending on the eloquent and optical speech made by the spokesman of a delegation, that sealed upon President Coolidge recently to discuss the welfare of the race, the Palmetto Leader and editorially: This kind of speech makes a boy coming drowsy. If the colored man of the North and West who has a tree and fair ballot, would use it for election as men, and not as herds, there would be less reason for going to the White House. Say it with ballots than eloquent words. One ballot is worth more than a hundred beautiful phrases. But it seems hard for the eloquent to just how powerful and eloquent of ballots. As long as all our radars ballots are regarded with good reason, as belonging to any political party, just so long will there be weless pliarginger to the White House. The Leader is published weekly in Columbia, S. C. with N. J. Fredricks as editor, which makes this hint at more dependent voting all the more remarkable. With the cooling admonition "Don't worry about Flapperism," Lymn A. Eale unhilated as follows in the editorial columns of the Washington Eagles. After centuries of repression and aggression, woman is beginning to usher her individuality. Until recent years it has been impossible for her to do so; Church, state and system would not let her. The first division of society and classes arose out of the subjection of woman by prehistoric times to the status of a druidic cook, life-time compulsory institute and tender of the campfire. Increasing freedom has been laboriously wrong from the male exploiter in the long process of the age. Even to-day, additional concessions do not usually come easily. The right to do her own thinking, like her own life, wear a comfortable and sensible ophtamine, decides whether and when she shall be a mother, have her own name—in a word, the right to be herself—is gradually being gained. Flapperism is an incident of the process of acquiring her natural rights. The shibbobet of "live her own life" is significant of the feminine evasion of responsibility to society, while "have your own name" is the slogan of the theory Stone League. Flapperism is a symptom of adolescence which may prove incurable if prolonged beyond its natural stages. all over the country, and especially in New York, of the practical accomplishment of associated physical, intellectual and money power The International Committee Collaborating Society sees and knows the power and need of collective action and is here and now advocating its application in all our affairs in this community and in all the communities over the country. There are many things we wish to bring about at once, but most of all we feel that we should effect today the collective purchasing and distributing for consumption of our food and clothing The Society has just been organized by six working persons who feel and know the need of concerted action. We have no need we have no headquarters we have no help of any kind. We need our help in all manner and form. We need most when we are beginning, you can help most and acquire more credit then. We are an established society, however we have acquired our charter, and we want to acquire our headquarters. We will make no appropriation and funds until sanctioned by a quorum of the member's regular monthly meeting. Full particulars can be from S V Lewis Campher West 127th street.

St Paul Baptist Church New life and vigor have come in the lives of the members of St. Paul. The pastor was programmed to deliver a special message to the young people last Wednesday night, which drew out an unusually large audience to this meeting. He upon our "Vision," calling attention to the conditions under which vision can be had, and then pointed out the things that may be sent when people have vision. Sunday proved to be a day of bad weather—either threatenning or raining through the day, and then pouring rain at night. Yet, despite the conditions of the weather, the people flocked out to the services of St. Paul three times, beheaded attending the Sunday school. The pastor preached in the morning on "The Conception and Birth of Christ," and the chorus rendered sweet Christmas music. The school took place immediately after the morning service, with superintendent C. E. B. Roberts, assisted by Deacon John A. Dougherty, directing, Licentiate James Scott was appointed by the pastor to teach his class, while he sat among the students, Mr. Scott did well, touching upon both of the lessons of the day. Group Merey, of the Missionary Circle, celebrated its first anniversary in the afternoon, by having the pastor preach to them and their guests, and then serving a free collation. The pastor delivered a very strong and helpful message on "Christian Witnesses," which was followed by testimonies, in which the members and visiting friends took the weekly preach to the group undertook to give a Supper, in our judgement, it was more like a Banquet. Sister Roxie Waters, who as the efficient leader of this group, has set a warm pace for all the other groups, and they will have to travel to catch up to hers. Sunday night the pastor delivered another short message on "The Proclamation of the Lord's Death," then gave the hand of fellowship to a number of new members, after which the Lord's supper was observed by a large congregation. G. J. and J. A. Booker, will spend the Christmas holidays visiting their brother and his wife, Prof W H. A Booker at Va Union University Richmond, Va. Next Sunday the choir will continue special Christmas music and the Pastor will preach morning and evening. Come down to St Paul, if you would enjoy a spiritual feast. St. Mark's M. E. Church On Sunday, December 20, the services in St. Mark's M. E. Church were largely attended throughout the day. The pastor, Dr. John W Robinson, preached an able sermon at the morning service. Text St. Luke 2nd Baptist and 29th Service Themes were in the dawn. In the evening, Rev D. J Price gave a very interesting talk on hymns. Dr Robinson delivered a very forceful sermon at the services of the Young People's Church at 10 a.m. Special Christmas services were rendered in which the young people and teachers part. The special Christmas exercises of the Sunday school were largely attended. A very excellent program was rendered under the supervision of Superintendent Alfred Freeman, assisted by Mrs Mary Martin Mrs Ruby Green and Everard Powell. There was a large attendance at the school and service on the Epworth League Mrs Chrina H Brinson was in charge. Dr Robinson pulver guest at the evening service in addition to Rev Price were Dr Brannon assistant pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill., Anthony Overton, president of the Douglas-National Bank of Chicago and Dr Savov of the Victory Life Insurance Co. Dinner was served by the Floral Circle. Next Sunday evening, December 27 a Christmas cantata will be rendered by the choir under direction of chaundress E A Jackson First Emmanuel Church A glorious day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at the church Sunday. In the morning Pastor Bolden preached from the following test. And to the angel on the Lord came upon them and the cause of the Lord shown about them and they were one afraid. And the angel said unto them Fear not for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. St Luke 2-9 10 Theme "The Angel's Message to the Shepherds on the Plain" Pastor Bolden said The shepherds who were abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night, and leading them into green pastures by day became aware of interest in the God. The fact that the angel on the Lord came down from Heaven and manifested himself to them, announcing the birth of the Child Jesus the Christ, our Lord the Empowered may be considered as Where To Go To Church which spins up into their minds are strengthened and encouraged to remain, therein when they hear or have been told that pretended learned men and people who are atheists and agnostics declare that God in our Heavenly Father, faith in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ the Emmanuel as being able to save us from evil, faith in the Person and Power of the Holy Spirit, is untenable and not truly produces a bad influence and condition among the people. If people are taught to believe there is nothing real except that which comes through their personal experience, or that can only be accounted for on the basis of our present known nature, whole history about Jesus our Lord the Emmanuel can be classed as purious and mythological. But we both believe and know, because of an experience that comes from that belief, that all that is said of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel is true. And that He not only is but is now the most unique phenomenon in human history, the most vital ever present in human history, the most radiant unseen, uplifting and loving influence in civilization. Because we have not seen and heard angels speak is no reason why we should doubt their existence.

His work must be sustained. The business man whose success is very promoted would be more successful his religious work. It is up to each individual to us his or her influence to make the church better, and this can best be done by our taking celtic everywhere, we go. The prayer room and the classroom are essential and very powerful means of keeping one at for the work. A happy life, one happy church, reveals a peaceful death.

Church From among the many features attending Christ's Sunday morning sermon those the one described in the text. And it was nosed that He was in house. "There were times when it is blasphemous to keep quiet about Jesus," said he. "There are persons who could help you but because of pressures they remain silent and let you suffer. It is wrong to withhold praises from God." He followed with a description of how the angelic choir first started the old Heroes by the shepherds then old Heroes by the whole world reechoed the noise of Jesus down the ages declared Dr. Cullen's birth. This noise has resounded so that now He is the foremost the only man because without Him there is no future peace no future happiness nor any future rest. It is nosed that Jesus is in the house and you your? questioned the pastor. He seeks close communion with you where no man can hinder. At four o'clock Dr. Cullen preached again. This time it was to a larger assembly of ladies on the Eastern Star and the guests. He talked on the personality of women men stating that there were more than the generally supposed three. Rendal Memorial Church But when the fullness of the time was come God sent forth His Son *Gal 4:4* "A shining Christmas theme indeed." This was the subject from which a splendid display was delivered Sunday at the morning service. God is always on time and the speaker asked, not until the world needed a savior, when all other aids and comforts did fail to satisfy the long-awaited human breast did Christ come into the world not to condemn the world but to face and how he brought with Him the true Christmas gift and went to hear His children say, "Christmas Gift, that He might bless this gift of Gifts" "He Saying Grace upon them." The Rev. W. L. Lavison worshipped The Rev. W. W. Lawson worshipped with us at the morning hour. "We heard the voice of the Lord, strong whom shall I send and who will go for me."

The sermon was instructive and an admonition to the members of the organization as women and mothers, in that they have a task to perform in the day, to help now just where they are to help the home, to help the community to help the city, to help the state to help the country, to help the world to become better, praised and example and by joining hands with the forces and activities that are seeking to put to flight and graduate the cell with which our vows people are becoming comminated.

George Shippen Stark, pastor, took his text from Matthew 2nd chapter. The discourse was full of beautiful truths as portrayed by the Birth-of Christ. Christ is born every day, every hour by being born in the hearts of man if we read the Bible sympathetically, not literally, we find the meaning of all its mysteries: that it is the Voice of Christ over the voice of the sorpent as to whether we live or die and dwell in heavenly places; that we are made out of the earth, so much of earth in our natures, much of dirt, but also much of divinity in man, much of dust and much of Diety. This is not assumed in language but by faith in the human heart. The mystery of the Birth of Christ is as the Birth of Christ in our hearts. We know Christ by the five Gospels, Matthew Stark, Luke, John and by experience. This is convincing proof that Jesus Christ is born Saviour of the World. His coming brought joy to the world. The following persons united with the church at this service John Wesley Marshall, 387 Classon avenue; Louis Nelson, 334 East 35th street, Brooklyn.

Oct 3-3m An avid trailing to become a sports writer for a Negro publication sends himself considerably handcapped in securing data on Negro athletes of the past, because of the lack of any record enraging the files of newspapers, to which he could refer. This situation is especially true in the case of Negro boxers. Excepting a very few, they have all been excluded from sports written by white writers. boxing records written by the recorders who have been compiled in such books as we have are often very important and are sometimes false. For that reason boxing fans themselves should be very much interested in a book of this kind written by a Negro. and Written by A. R. Hancock. This writer is the postmaster of a manuscript for such a book, written in the years since 1912. In fact—which contains the complete record of every Negro boxer in any note to ever come before the American public. William Sahdner, a boxing fan who never admires a fight, is the author, and his data is put together in such a fashion that no present day writer, or any interest reading. novel makes more money. His data goes back to 1805, when Bill Richmond and Tom Molinsane wrongly implicated the abusers in fighting the then world's champion, Tom Cruib. He tells the stories of Bob Travis, Sangbo Sutton, Peter Jackson and the original Gudfrey Godfrey. Then he takes his readers back to the days when George Dixon, Joe Walcott, Bobby Dobbs and Joe Gans dominated the white boxers for a generality. Next comes Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette, Jack Johnson and boxers whom we know of today. Their life history, a personal description, and a record of the fights in which they participated, have been compiled. Then there is a complete record of present day boxers, starting with Harry Wills and going down the line to the smallest. Drawings and pictures of most of the fighters discussed have been secured and everything is ready for the printer. The reason Mr. Saunders did not have the book published himself is because, he has a family to support and could not spare the $200 or $300 which a printer would require as a first payment on such a job. He has brought the material to me and asks that I get in touch with boxers or any fans who might be interested in entering into a partnership for the purpose of publishing this work. He has done a herculean task and the only thing a partner needs to do is supply the original deposit for the printing of the book.

Night Life in New York "Girl Who Wouldn't Work" At New Douglass Theatre Critical experts in Hollywood and New York have acclaimed *The Girl Who Wouldn't Work* one of the years greatest film achievements. It will be shown at the New Douglas Theatre Sunday and Monday. December 27-28 The picture is a store of a girl clerk in a department store who was too prettie to keep her mind on her work. She spent her spare time and a lot of the company's time gazeing into mirrors and dreaming of becoming an actress. She was engaged to her department manager but even this adventure was a bit tame to her. It was a sort of a skim milk of romance and she wanted adventure with a thrill to it. She got it by quarrelling with her finance and going out with a millitimate clubman. She stared away from home until four o'clock on the morning arrival just in time to meet her father, who was returning from his shift as watchman in a factory, the shock of which caused her father a great deal of concern. When the temperament of the girl resulted in her quarrelling with her sweetheart and her father she left home with the clubman thereby promoting the greatest adventure she had ever known. Part of the tragedy began when Greta Laurea a former Follett girl now devoted to the clubman and his bank- Paris Now Headquarters For Negro Jazz Bands According to a letter received from Willis Morgan, now in Paris, says that Louis Douglass is starling with Josephine Baker.

Big Time Celebration. Red Hot Entertainers. He holds—That celebrated psychologist erred who emphasized that association biggets assimilation. He forged to add that there were exceptions. It has long been conceded, that the mass musician contents himself with the fare of the surging throng. He has agreed within his own consciousness to let the other fellow run the race and do him credit. He personally counsels his own inertness that it is far easier to drive the man who forges ahead, laying vast claims to the success that he earns, than to the a small amount of effort in pushing himself He co-ends that he will not succeed, for he evaded the plodding of the utroldron pathway, refuses the carving of his own salvation and fears to raise his head to see the beckoning light that shines from the top of the ladder. Failing to set his own standards, evolve his own concepts and arrive at his own conclusions, there is but one mode of action' left and that is assimilation. But does he assimilate? We'll illustrate! Christmas, the season of merriment where with the humbler class it means "Peace on earth and good will toward men" and with the fortunate it means the joy of giving, more mirth, more revelry and more luxury. The entertaining of the christmas era, more than any other season, ushers in every unit of society's aristocracy. Even the most stolic of the wealthy joins in the glee. America's pioneers of progress, America's rulers of millions, America's capitals of industry-Bankers, lumbermen, social leaders—and as the Deacon says, "From presidents to post-hole-diggers, they alike want the music of the Negro, with its exotic rythm, its impulsive syncapation and strange harmonies. Contact with men and the class of men who have made the wheels of fortune spin, and authorized the ways of the world, profit them nothing. For it is not an annual accident but daily and consistently, the musical practitioner is brought into such contact. It is concretely the meeting of the twain. He who has nothing becomes submerged to the whose powers and influences cannot be domesticated. The Negro musician hears but seldom listens, he sees but seldom observes, he is taught but seldom learns. He startles wildly and wonderingly over the wonder and grandeur of the other fellows' possession. Yet this wonderment does not spur him on to the grandeur and glory of accomplishment for himself. The Negro musician continues to be his individual manager. Nor does he glean from the corporation management of the universal rulers of the stage and the musical world, generally. History proves that as originator he has not only failed colossally but he has not made an effort. He continues to be bargaud. Nor does he even make himself a lucrative commodity. He provides no commercial management for himself and fails to give even a boost to the management provided for him. Does he even creditably assimilate? -Not yet.

C.-Before a crowd of about 700 fans, the Delta Big Five of the Omega SI Phi Fraternity, local fraternity champions, won a decisive victory over the New England Collegiate last week. The score was 29-14. Although the first game of the season it was played well. Augmented by Al Cobb and Bill McCoy of Howard University, Quintet, the Delta Big Five completely outlasted the Collegiate. The guarding of both sides held the score down to 10-6 in the first half; but Fox, Freeman and Cobbs finally got away for 19 tallies. The Collegiate's team was made up of Johnson, Wormley, Ted' Thompson, Cook and Stubbie; the Omega lineup was: Freeman, Cobb, Goff and Lee.

Atlanta, Ga.—Morris Brown University officially opened her basketball season Saturday, December 19, by a decisive victory over the Atlanta University quintet, winning by a score of 32-20.

The lower tone is infactory, showing a presence lack of breath, and wood has a pleasing personality, and a striking stage presence not undesirable attribute, and go with it in creating a atmosphere, for enjoyment of his artistic offerings. be remembered of culture, that this young man is still a student just a few steps up from what might be termed, in college, frost, chassis. And so is that, what vocal defects appeared in this premiere are to be ascribed to limited development in natural lack. And too, the singer was suffering from the troublesome cold, with its natural concomitant of hoarseness, in special evidence in fortissimo, passages in the upper leg. It was only the excellent technique developed by the singer him on at least three occasions from disastrous results. The young tenor has excellent control of his vocal organs, developing and shading with consummate art, exhibiting phrasing ability of both with flexibility of utterance, and unusual clarity of articulation. This quality afforded a larger enjoyment to most of the audience in one group of German lieder, all of the offerings were in flow of the syllables uttered by the singer but were almost crystal-cut outline. And his German, while deliberate and a bit sound not devoid of this same quality. A weakness compels the recitalist to remember that there was tenderness that is reasonably certain, disappear with the accretion of experience and appreciation. There is a tendency to accentuate certain tone expressions, effective when seldom used, but satiating when heard too often. Sentimentality is a fine quality—up to a certain degree; but over-sentimentality should be avoided. Mr. Gatewood is one of the finest and most promising young singers the metropolis has heard in recent times; and there is no reason why he should not take rank with the best there is. Incidentally it might be noted that he is a singer of different type and temperament than is Roland Hayes, and so one must not make the mistake of attempting a comparison simply because both are members of the same race. The program opened with the recitalist, *Comfort ye, my people* and aria, *Every valley shall be exalted* from *Handelly*. *Messiah*, and except for a bit of parting of the way, the wayward singer and accompanist in one or two of the most taxing passages, it was aplendidly done. In the same group were another song by Handel, *As if you damask rose be sweet*; an Old English song, *Have you seen but a white lillie grow*; and *The Plausible Lover* by Henry Carey. The German group included Schubert's wonderful "Du bist die Ruh," and three Brahms' songs, "Botschaft," "Waltschänsankent," and "O Schleiche wagen." Then came an air from Sullivan's "Prodigal Son." "How many tired servants" and songs by Rogers, Ronald and LaForge. The closing offering was a group of Negro Spirituals arranged by Dr Harry T. Burigh, including "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child." "I stood on the diber of Jordon," "Steal away" and "Oh didn't it rage." Additional numbers were the Old-English songs, Ben Pollok's "Dink to me only with thine eyes." "The Spirit flower" by Campbell Tipton, and "The Americans Come!" song, the singer stated was sung by him always at the special request of his mother. The accompaniments were played by Lyndon Hoffman Caldwell, who was hand-tapped to some extent by a piano-sharp, and up to the usual stenway excellence. And not always did Mr. Caldwell properly subordinate the piano part. One the whole, however, his work was good, and emphasized his sight to be considered one of the race's fine pianists. The recital was for the benefit of the Harlem Academy and Church School, an institution conducted by the Second 8th Day Adventist Church in which Elder M. C. Strachan is pastor, located at 106-8 West 127th street. The committee consisted of Elder and Mrs. Strachan, Mrs. Henrietta Wifry, Mr. Eva Page, Mrs. Entelle M.

"Una voce pota foia," from Rossini's "Barber of Sertile," this number requiring unusual flexibility of delivery and local agility, qualities not common to mezans of even lyric soprans. At that the charming young singer gave a remarkable performance, only occasionally giving evidence of too strict attention.

"Cone Buy!" as her opkring group, and its group of Splette, which she and Mimi Lattucci, who also her accompanist had out in original Fisk style. This was especially interesting, not only in the melodic and harmonic arrangements but in different word complications that were used.

The nation not only opposes the insurre- y against apostasy, but against the badge of apostasy, against the -very mark and sign of disloyalty to the truth of God. Among other things, the pastor said "Agostasy is standing off from, and an abandoning of, the belief and practice of true religion. A single individual may do this, and whole companies of believers have been known to turn aside." The church directed by Moses, apostated at Sinai, but it later repented and resumed to loyalty. The church established by Christ and His disciples apostated before the close of the first century. In a vision this was revealed to the apostle Paul, who predicted it in his messages to the churches. By the time of the fifth century, the early Christian church had well high disappeared from the stage of action, and a church in league with the Roman state, an apostate church, occupied the field. The Reformation of the sixteenth century represented a break away and release from the apostasy of the dark awe. "Saint John, in the book of Revelations, makes it very clear, that Roman Catholicism and Apostate Protestantism, will in the last days, form another political alliance. This union will be brought about again to force and compell a false system of worship: a system which embodies the fulness of all apostates. And no man will be permitted to buy or sell if he refuses to yield to that system. Those who will wish to stand loyal to Jehovah, may have to sacrifice their life in the attempt. But rather than yield to a beast of a system, they will invite martyrdom. In spite of all that must be suffered, the faithful will finally gain the victory, and sing a triumphant song on the glass: while the system, and those who give life, seat and power to the system, will be cast into the lake of fire." Pastor Strachan's text in the Saturday morning service was, "He That doeth the will of God abideth forever." John 2.17 The pastor spent most of the hour upon the discussion of the human will. He said it should never be forced or broken in a child nor on a grown person. He said human wills should be directed. He showed what might force them to when turned into the right direction of course. He said, God would not compell a man against his will. He said, the Lord waited until the human will was in harmony with the divin's will, then divine power was sent to strengthen the purpose and bring about the accomplishment of the human will. He said, God works in us to will and to do his good pleasure, when we will to have that pleasure prevail.

This star is the hope of peace in the world. Locarno got its inspiration from Bethlehem and Gethsemane." "The star of Christ is the hope of a perfect convalescence on the earth. The soul of reformation is the reformation of the soul and the social salvation of the world is dependent upon that individual redemption, of which the Christ is the ideal and the helper. Here lies the hope of humanity." There was a community platform meeting on the theme "The Negro Facing the Crusis of the City." Brief addresses were made by secretary R J.

We tried true leaders, both in the church and militia of followers among our people, not hard to find. They will follow not distancing they have so often deceived by treacherous leaders of the past. We should begin the New Year, 1926, by taking an inventory of the stock of race living (2) leaders in order to get rid of the ones that are, but detrimental to the race in general. Many great stones have been strewn in our pathway to prevent us from reaching the goal of freedom since Abraham Lincoln unhacked our hands and feet from the balls and thighs of the hellish slave holders, and it is very necessary to start off with the Now Year with a determined effort to get rid of the political slave traders in our own ranks, for there are many. they are Let us start off with the New Year to accomplish our rights as loyal American citizens. Let us not aim too high, for in doing so there is danger of missing some good things which ought to be within easy reach. Grant us our God-given and constitutional rights, like all other citizens and we will again be heard in the Congress of the United States. J. C. CUNNINGHAM Washington., D.C. A Voice From Brazil Editor of the Year Please pardon this liberty which, as a journalist of course you will I take it with no selfish motive or private profteering design. It is, by the way, one other step in the effort of doing the public a useful service. We address you for several reasons. Your location, your race patronage, your evident experience and your profession in the center of so much bewildering propagandists of recent years. You must well know that modern progress while owing to the class room directly, it owes much more to the men of practical experience with democratic views who have had to depend very greatly upon Journalism and periodicals for their success. Hence, the editorial position of any regular publication is very similar to that of chairman in a forum. All of our readers and many others have their attention focused upon you because you lead a considerable mass of people in forming their opinions. Then sir, it is honor to you and your paper that we beg this liberty of you New York City has taken the lead of all others in recent years in forcing Negro propaganda upon the attentions of the public and quite pleased we are to note this fact too. We say this for several reasons. But let us be brief, by reminding you that the civilized world has been attracted by the Negro propagandists coming from New York of recent years. Then are many that you have never dreamed of are considering you and your paper as an element of influence at some part of these many ideas. There must talk in the U.S. ever since the early part of the last century about the American Negroes all going back to Africa. Now may we say that it has greatly damaged your interest in the U.S. It was well enough in the time of slavery in those southern states that news and hopes might be entertained by those who could see no other escape for those descendants of Africa. But not so since slavery as an institution has been abolished and the African descendants in most of the states have been recognized as free citizens of the country. Instead of that Back to Africa talk they should be trying to force all of the individual states to recognize their ownership. Now some of them are enough to imagine that of some of the European governments which have control right in Africa should turn over these rights to the U.S. government that is still help them or their race to be understood that European countries such as the U.S. holds over Asia. Puerto Rico and the Philippines. And from your own reports of how you are treated it quite enough to make any group of Africans detest a protectorate from the U.S. Then besides your own constant complaint on ESTABLISHED 25 YEARS Mrs. Ida White-Duncan HAIR WORKER 19 Proscott St, Jersey N.

A few publishing my book, Wilhazers of Califor- nent eight years and Dian Sui, in conversation of the Fullman Porter's Battelle Association conference at the "Washington Avenue Branch of the M." M. C. A. C. in Chicago, two said, saying mara things, that the Fullman Company is the friend of the porters. This is interesting, but not compelling. The true marks of friendship will manifest as one to attempt to do the wishes of another, and also, to meet their needs. First, certainly you will not contend unless you have a very low opinion of the Negro, that the company has done the wishes of met the needs of the Pullman Porters. For it is obvious that the porters wish and need a fair day's pay for a fair day's work, but no reasonable person will maintain that $67.50 a month, or $2.50 a day, perhaps for the longest work day of any worker in America, is a fair day's pay. I think Mr. Carry, that it is perfectly fair to state, in this concession, that the porters have been the local friends of the Pullman Company, because they have made it what it is today. It is their increased productive efficiency which created the only service you sell, which, according to your own report, enabled the company to have the last fiscal year, ending July 31, the most prosperous one of its entire history, earning a gross income of $31,972,749.34. Though the income of the Pullman Company has continuously increased, the wages of the porters have not increased correspondingly. Don't you think that is unfair, Mr. Carry? Surely, you would not hold that a man can maintain a family according to decent American standards of living on $2.25 a day, the lowest wage of all the railroad workers. It may be interesting for you to know that the U. S. Department of Labor sets as a minimum yearly income in order to maintain the average family in a decent American living: $2,082.08. You pay the porters of the Pullman Company $810 a year, or, $1,278 less than a living wage. Does such a miserable wage indicate that the Pullman Company is the friend the porters? Dear sir, the public doesn't think so, nor does the porters. The porters miles a month, nearly 400 hours for $67.50, before they get pay for overtime; whereas, the sleeping car conductors are only required to make 240 hours. All time over this, you pay them as overtime; and they begin on $155 a month for their work. Is not this rank and unjust discrimination. Mr. Carry. Would you want to work nearly 400 hours a month for $67.50? You live on it? Could you keep your wife and children on it. No doubt your cigar bill is more than this, and still you, nor your friends consider yourself extravagant. If you answer that the porters make tips, I ask Do you think that is to tar from the ground, generate oxygenation like a gymnasium. Company to convert the porters into professional caregivers in order to support their wives and children? Would you want to depart upon the charity of the public, for living for you and your family? No! Other group of railroad workers subjected to such an unanticipated as well as demoralizing practice. Besides, Mr. Carey tips are mall and irregular, sadly inadequate to make up the difference between what you pay the porters and a live wage. At that meeting, I said that The Pulitzer Prize is always kept a place for the coveted man. That's very nice. I am sure the writers appreciate that. But they more than a place. They want a living out of the place just as you do, anybody else does. Continuing you said, "I hear talk of a color line. Believe me there is nothing to this color line. Well, believe me Mr. Larry, if you were a colored man you would think there is something to it, if you went down South, or, for that matter, attempted to take advantage of some of the public conveniences in Chicago. You made the interesting observation that you attended a dinner where you sat next to the blackest colored man you ever saw. He was an educated man. No one thought of his color. He talked better than anyone around the table. There is your answer education Now do you believe that this is all to the question Mr. Carry? I am glad to know that you recognized worth there regardless of race or color. That is proper and sound. But do you know Mr. Carry that there are men in the Congress of the United States of America who are not civilized enough to sit behind a colored man? There are secretes! this country where a Negro can't get in a berth on your own Pullman car because of this color line. Moreover Mr. Carry how about the right and privilege of Pullman porters advancing in the Pullman service? Is it not true that a Pullman porter can advance to be a Pullman conductor? Why? Surely they are competent. They have the education you admit that yourself by having them run in charge when they do conductors work but you don't give them conductors pay nor do you even give them the satisfaction of being called a conductor. They are known as in charge porters and receive only $10 additional in wages. Is this taking advantage of your closed brother or harden with his teachings which they do? The master others as you would that they do you want. By compelling a porter to do a conductor work you save $145 every month in 1000 in charge porters you save $14500 every month left for profiting at the expense of your fellowmen. Mr. Carry. If a porter is competent to handle a work according to your philosophy before the Pullman Porter Benefit Association he ought to be promoted to the rank of a conductor, and receive a conductor's pay. But in the Pullman service no hope is held out to the Pullman porter. Once a porter always a porter. Would you, Mr Carry, think a system or corporation was in which confined you to any condition? Don't you know that the Pullman company might in reward a porter with a promotion as it does every other class and care of worker. Do you not know Mr Carry, that you have district supernator and Negro students, will publish college education, cannot become a engineer. In this case do not not treat it if I hurt. I shall be happy to correct it. If I write what is your answer. For I would not think of interpelling you upon identical question. I am reminded also, Mr. Carry, of your expression that you were 'amused to find' Negro who was capable of becoming a blacksmith, that you had not seen one before your shop hired them. To intelligent Negroes, that would be considered as an insult, Mr. Carry. Negroes ward blacksmiths before you, were born. There are more in the South than you can shake a stick at. And not only blacksmiths, but in every possible line of mechanical, educational, scientific and artistic endeavor, they have done their ability. This is far from which ought to be too commonplace to you. Mr. Carry, to need statement. There are Negro doctors of philosophy from the great universities of America and Europe. You also marvelled at Frederick Douglas, a Negro, being able to lecture to a white audience in Europe. Why, Mr. Carry, for your information, there are Negro graduates from Oxford University- in England, England's recognized greatest musical composer, Coleridge Taylor, was a Negro. As to education achievement. The general system of industrial education as established by Booker T. Washington was copied, and adopted by Denmark and other European countries, and the leading white American industrial and agricultural colleges, such as Cornell University. You cited as an evidence of your personal generosity, the story of a porter (largely underserving, size you rated him as a crap shooter) coming to you and borrowing $35 to help him put his wife in a hospital, when she was about to give birth to a little porter. And you felt joyful over an alleged great advance the Negro was making, because this porter was able to get his wife in a hospital to be waited on by his white doctors and nurses. In the first place, Mr. Carry, this was an unhappy illustration; for it would seem to imply that a child of a porter must necessarily become a porter. Which, of course, and needless to say, is not true. Second, you seem to suggest that the Negro, possibly has an inferiority complex which should cause him to feel flattered and highly honored when waited on by a white person. Whereas, it is not the case with intelligent Negroes and should not be the case. In New York, may I say, that Negro patients enter practically all of the big hospitals. Besides, according to you there is no color line, and, hence, Negroes ought to be able to get into any hospital anybody else gets into. But, apparently, you yourself realize that there is a color line. Moreover, Mr. Carry, if you had been paying that porter you befriended, a living wage he would not have been in your charity. Do you know, Mr. Carry, that there are porters who pay twice as much rent a month as you pay them wages? Where do they get the money from? Not from tips, Mr. Carry. The difference is made up by the labor and industry of their wives, who are hairdressers, seamattresses, school teachers or domestic workers. Then porters are compelled to rent their homes into hotel rooms to make ends meet. When they must be compelled to rent our rooms of your home, they are paid to pay your rent and to take our home life when they are forced to tell this home full strangers for gain it is more a wholesome for children. Would you be willing to give your labor a stipulation for nothing Mr. Carry? Well a Pollinator poste leaving New York for Washington 12 30 midnight, reports for duty, at 7 30 p.m. and works five hours for absolutely nothing, since his time does not begin until the train departs. It not that a gross imposition upon a group of men. Don't you think that it is right for every man to receive a reward for every hour of his labor off which someone in the Pollinator Company benefit from the yabor of the power during preparatory time? It is obvious that a car could not leave the station or receive passengers without being made up! He entitled to compensation for this service. May I ask Mr. Carry whether you believe in the principle of equal opportunity, even handed justice, regardless of race, creed, or class of workers in the Pullman service. It so do you think the porters get under your Employee Representation Plan, when your district management acts as prosecutor, jury and judge on a porter who has been recommended for discharge by the very same life and career high that the business world would knowingly commence such an unethical American and unacceptable unreasonable policy. Yet it is a fact Maslima inquire Mr. Carsay whether the policy of putting untrained an experienced Filipinos on the club cars in flagrant violation of your agreement with the porters which recognized the right of security has your sanction and approval. Do you think that a corporation can reasonably expect responsible gents from its workers when it does not live up to its agreement with its workers. Would you think it must for the company' s give an incompetent Filipino, who has never worked a day for the company preference over a Negro Pullman porter who has given probably thirty of the best years of his life to the company. Would you think it fair of some unknown incompetent person were to be brought into the company and given preference over you who have been long years of service in the corporation? It seems to me, also Mr. Carry, that you went out of your way to state that the Negroes were not the equal of the whites, or, in other words (that they are inferior) I don't comment on this further than that I don't claim this. Is that why you won't permit them to rise above a porter?

C.-The charges and complaints filed with the board of trustees of Howard University against President J Stanley Durke by the General Alumni Association were taken up for consideration in detail at a special call meeting held Howard Carnegie Library Building, Howard University, with full attendance of trustees and a strong representation from the Alumni Association present. The session lasted from 9 a. m. to 7. 30 p. m. with a short recess for luncheon, and the Alumni Association was given every opportunity for the discussion of its charges and falling of witnesses in support of its confessions. Trustees Endorse Durkee. At conclusion of the hearing, the board of trustees deliberated upon the testimony and arguments and then adopted a resolution declaring that "none of the charges against President J Stanley Durkee had been sustained by adequate or consumming evidence." It was further declared that the action taken by President Durkee which formed a basis for most of the complaints made by the Alumni Association had been authorized by the board of trustees or by committees appointed by the board, acting under charter of University and by-laws of the trustees. No official statement has been made by President Durkee or any of his staff, but an individual familiar with the workings of the University has stated that the development of the school under Dr Durkee is in itself an answer to the charge that the "spirit of education has departed from Howard." The speaker said that in the last six years there had been gained by Howard twelve Ph D men as against only two or three prior to that time, and twenty-three Masters degrees had been earned as against one previously. Further evidence Howard's educational growth is cited in the acceptance of Howard University Art School in Class A with students going to the graduate schools of America and Europe. And it is said to be an acknowledged fact that more research work was completed last year and published than had been accomplished in forty years past. Text of Resolution The resolutio adopted by the board of trustees continued to follow. "No proof has been brought for ward which in the minds of the trustees proves President Dukke to have been guilty of arbitrary or irregular action in his functions as president of the University. All direct personal charges against him are unsupported by evidence. No abuse I powers as president of the University was proven. His prosecution with the Curry School of Law was approved." Now don't think that we are a bear examination. For a one-time of America's leading capital industry you will admit that he is outwith the money of an organization, that organization it is at a fact Mr. Carry, that the Negro treasurer Mr. Duncan, of the P P B A, can draw $100 out of the treasury without the O K, or Mr. Cummin's the treasurer of the Pullman Company, is not also a fact that the bear is director of the P P B A is the controlling body of the organization. And it is not also a fact that the member of the board of directors is not official's in the suit. In the suit, the company is responsible to the Pullman company and not to the Pullman Lines Bureau Association, with the latter was established by the convention of the P P B A being itself a man building. You say that the I. M. A. masters adhere to the investment laws. Your insurance companies are not aware from banks. Quite true.

He has rendered notable services to Howard University's staff and has influenced to the more important institution for the education of youth of the colored rate in the United States. The trustees and President Durkee have always been able to work in harmony for the good of the institution. Additional Resolutions With reference to the four teachers with services were discontinued last June, the Board of Trustees took the following action: 1. "VOTED, that the action of the executive committee and the budget committee of the board of trustees in the matter of the discontinuance of certain teachers on June 15, 1925, be and hereby is ratified as carrying out the directions of the board of trustees in the matter of eliminations, contractions, etc., etc, in conformity with the reorganization program of the University, as adopted June 2, 1925." 2 "Voted also; that, inasmuch as the executive committee and he budget committee had no instructions extending beyond the action that they took with reference to the separation of certain professors on account of the consolidations and reductions incident to the reorganization process, they hereby grant leave of absence to the following four persons, beginning July 1, 1925, for one year—full salaries to be paid at the same time and on the same terms as the Regular academic salaries received by them: Alaine Locke, professor of Philosophy; Alonzo H Brown, professor of Mathematics; Metz Lochard, professor of French; Orlando Thornton, instructor in Finance and Business Organization. At the end of the year, June 30, 1926, all connection of these persons with the University shall cease."

Blandford, Ala. and Tr. College, Greenboro, spoke to an appreciative audience on the subject "Why Get A College Education?" During his address, Blandford reflected on the abilities of the college bred Negro. He gave reasoning for belief that college training is essential in business, ministry, medicine, in fact, in all walks of life. "The apacher declared that, "In studying the lives of the people who have been unusually successful in all lines of work, educational experts have found, that the college men and women have contributed a number far out of proportion to their number. Although they constitute one per cent of the population, they have furnished to the nation, 55 per cent of its presidents, 36 per cent of the members of Congress, 47 per cent of the Speakers of the House, 56 per cent of the vice presidents, 62 per cent of the Secretaries of State and 69 per cent of the Justices of the Supreme Court. The young colored men and women in the high schools and colleges today, will have to compete with this college men of the other races. Our race cannot hope to measure to the people with whom we compete if our young men and women have only elementary and high school education while they have college and university training. There are less than ten thousand colored men and women in this country with college education, while there are more than a million white men and women who have such training, or a ratio of more than ten to one. There is a white physician to every 553 white citizens in America, while there is a colored physician to every 3,194 colored citizens. There is a white dentist to every 2,070 white citizens in America while there is a colored dentist to every 20,560 colored citizens. There is a white lawyer to every 718 white Americans and there is a colored lawyer to every 12,317 colored citizens. There is a white teacher to every 145 white Americans and there is a colored lawyer to every 12,317 colored citizens.

If the race is to go forward, our preschools should be men of the highest intelligence and of the broadest scholarship.

The people will perish for the want of vision. President Bluford further added, "In recent years, there has spring up the corporate idea which in the vernature of things tends to change the complexion of our business. With this chang has come the demand of intensive study of the problem of organization, financing and selling, and this brings definitely to the forefront the need of both fundamental and special training of college grade.
