M. W. Thornton, Presiding Elder, Is Defended By Members of New Church Who Withdrew From Old Union Bethel New Church, Incorporated Under Same Name As Was Commonly Given Old Church, Assert Legal Right To Title; Answer Demand For Removing Dr. Thornton Following the publication in The Age of December 26, of an article telling of the sending of a memorial to Bishop William H. Heard of Philadelphia, presiding over the first episcopal district of the A. M. E. Church, asking the removal of the Rev. Dr. Montrose W. Thornton, presiding elder over the New York district, New York Conference of that church, on charges of 'Imprudence in Administration," former members of the Union Bethel A. M. E. Church, situated at Dean street and Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, who have organized a new church and secured a charter from the State of New York under the name of "Union Bethel A. M. E. Church." have sent a communication to this paper setting forth their side of the controversy and defending Presiding Elder Thornton. The new organization, through a delegation of its officers and members formally asserts that the church from which they withdrew, commonly known as "Union Bethel," is not entitled to that name, the old church having been incorporated under the state laws in 1849 as the "African Methodist Episcopal Bethel Church, Weeksville," and that this name has never been changed legally. According to these representatives, the old church had been called "Union Bethel," but was without legal Woman Finds Him Stealing Carpet, Calls Police, Thief Uses Knife Returning from a shopping trip Mrs. Katherine Alexander, owner of the furnished room house at 322 West 190th street, discovered Lassie Oke. 249 West 186th street, busy in one of her rooms rolling up the carpet. Without letting the maid know that she had seen him, the woman slipped out and called Policeman Saffer at the West 185th street station. As the officer entered the front door Oke was starting down the stairs with the roll of carpet. Seeing the officer Oke hurled the roll of carpet at him knocking Saffer down. The other quickly regained his feet and started at the steps after Oke who turned a fled back up the stairs. Suddenly the thief turned and dived toward the policeman lunging at the latter with a long keen-bladed knife. Saffer barely escaped with his life in a sudden twist of the body which caused the knife aimed at his heart to miss its mark. The blade slithered through the sleeve of the officer and from elbow to wrist. Then followed a terrific battle having some five minutes, before the Okke was finally subdued.

Cole was assigned to the old church as pastor during which period of disturbance several happenings gave rise to news stories which were published in the New York Age at various times a group of those who objected to remaining under the pastoral care of the Cole severed their connections with that body and finally organized a new church company. One of the first acts of the new body was to apply for articles of incorporation and they asked to be chartered as the Union Bethel A. M. F.

Brief Review of Story chare. and mann her and off. Brelcl A M A. S. Bannater Hilden, local tategorial dr The New York Law. In its laws on marriage, December 26, under the bold head lines publishes an article in behalf of the acquainted "Union Bethel Shannon at Brooklyn," and is demanded by "officers and members" for the removal of Persiding Elder Thompson by the "Bishop" for "Imprudence." etc. Several articles have previously appeared in this same paper concerning the struggle in the socalled "Union Debtors' Church since the fire of the Annual Conference last May and the appointment of Rev. C. P. Cole as pastor. We have no desire to enter controversy in the paper over this matter and the terrible injustice that as been instituted against a helpless membership. However, in view of these criminal publications and their injury to innocent persons involved, we feel it our duty to make the following statement in answer to The Age article referred to. Only One Legal Union Bethel "In the first place, there is only one legal Union Bethel A. M E. Church of Brooklyn. It is incorporated as such under the laws of the great State of New York. There is not, neither has there ever been any other Church of this name incorporated. It is a fact that this regular and legal Union Bethel A. M E. Church withdrew from the church over which Dr Cole was sent to pastor "The church from which they withdrew bore another name, does now and was so incorporated as far back as 1849. Under this, 1849 incorporated name they appeared in court, and made their plea. They claimed, and the Court agreed accordingly, that they agreed the A.M. E. Bathal Church of Wetlandville." The general knowledge of those concurred to this time, was, the Church society in controversy was rightly named Union Bethel of Brooklyn. * "Dr. Cole and his group raised the question of the legal church name, and for the advantage it gave, so entered and pleaded in court. How strange that this group, posing before the public as Christian leaders and a Christian Church, use one name for some purposes and another which they contend legal when they are called in question and must answer to the Courts for their performances. Do they insist on this usage to deceive the public and the innocent who have dealings with them. Any way they cannot be by with this sort of stuff in New York State ```markdown ``` The Legal Decision. "The legal authorities of the state have decided this matter and placed its seal on its action. Thus there is only one Union Bethel A M F Church in New York State and that is the body of people who incorporated the body or "Group that Dr Cole and his followers complained of the "Group" they denounced in court lately as proceeding in court with complaint and grievances against a Union Bethel A M F Church" of which Dr Cole was represented by the pastor, who did Detrends Dr. Theraten. To the honor of Dr. Thornton and in face of the untruthful and false misrepresentation he referred to, we desire to pay above is the history and truth for our procedure in this matter. Dr. Thornton has had nothing to do with but withdrawal from the Collec crowdy he tried all in his power to prevent it. Neither by word, such knowledge or deed did he try or endeavor to influence us in our action to be what we are churchly. In fact, until we approached him officially, neither he nor ourselves ever expressed a word on the subject. Before God, what a shame to accuse a man wrongfully and publish him to the world as has been done, when the man is as innocent as a paw horn babe. "What is true of this part of the matter, is true of the other, namely, "Dr. Thornton encouraged them to make claim to the building funds of Union Bethal A. M. E. Church." Such a statement is false in every word. The Union Bethal A. M. E. Church, incorporated, of Brooklyn, neither as officers or members, ever had a talk personally or otherwise with Dr. Thornton over the "building fund" money in question He has never been consulted, advised or lead any part personally or officially in the affair. Bishop Advised Dividing Fund. "Since our reception as members of the A. M. E. Connection, he brought us the official request of the bishop that the groups get together and divide this fund rather than the same be consumed in litigation. To this we consented, and gave him our consent to so inform Bishop Heard. Other than this, not a word or act has come from Dr Thornton in the affair. "In conclusion, we only have to say, the charges preferred by Dr Cafe and his followers against Dr. Thornton the Impendence," is a huge joke. Dr. Thornton acted under the authority of Bishop Heard, his superior, and the only one who could accord us admission to the A. M. E. Church Our request, which we have on file, was made to Bishop Heard. The good bishop wrote his consent and sent it through his representative, the presiding elder, Dr Montrose W. Thornton THE RUTH—NEW APARTMENT HOUSE This group is not bound to Africa, by the land from which their fathers to fathers came; by language, religion, custom, tradition, or history. Atmost if only sign, or symbol, that signifies a badge of their African descent is the ever fading color of their skin. In aspiration and hope, in faith and destiny, America and not Africa fries at the heart and center of their life as an ultimate goal. "It cannot be successfully maintained that Americans of African descent have had a potential influence in directly shaping the course of American statesmanship, literature, the arts, sciences and philobiosis. But their indirect influence has been immense and is everywhere visible for him who has eyes to see. A Sublime Altitude Because of these Americans, our democracy has assumed a loftiness of expression and a breadth of spirit that has made it the sublimest attitude attained in the civic and political progress of mankind. Americans have stood as the crucial test of the ability to treat people with that lieutenance of all our legal enactments, moral, standards, and spiritual attainment. By their influence the heart of America has been softened with more kindness, a sweeter spirit, has filled its life and a stronger wave of emotion has swept the whole range of its philanthropy and religion. Until the recent past, the leadership of this group of Americans was in the hands of uneducated and untrained leaders. But they stood upon their watch towers they kept vigil, and safely led their people forward through the night when all the stars were gone. Today for the first time in history, the Americans of African descent are pro-educating from their ranks, in ever increasing numbers, trained men and women in every department of know-ledge, from every type, grade and class of the schools, colleges and universities. A man has learned his job by acquiring the philosophy, the demonstration of science, the political doctrines, the social morality, the moral standards, and the interpretation of teachings of Jesus as taught and practiced by its white fellow-citizensmen. The Japanese, standing upon the other side of the world, have largely done the same thing. But the Japanese have put the imprint of their apistate and racial characteristics and aspirations upon all this store which they have garnered from the imposition and cultivation of the world. Once they have mastered a thing it is translated by having something added with it to the captive and fugitive Japan. "Certainly the world of thought and action shall first gaind little if Americans of African descent are content remain manacled to the thought and spirit of white white fellow countrymen, adding to breadth to its spirit, no new and better forms of thought, no higher goals of attainment, no deeper channels for its best and noblest emotions. "No greater opportunity, for influential leadership and service is presented to any people in the world than within the grasp of Negro scholarship in the United States. First the service of occupation and guidance it may give to its own race, and then the larger and better service it might render in helping the spirit and strengthening the moral purpose of its fellow countrymen. In which direction will Negro schools be built, when fronted by white systems? Between the present attitude toward its group of the great corporate industries on the one hand, and organized labor on the other, what shall be its answer to the appeal of socialists? What political weapons will it forge to meet the conspiracy of acquiescence which excludes it from unhindered activity and opportunity in American politics. How shall the ever existing tide of its intelligence, culture and the dignity and freedom which they bear, meet the uncompromising attitude of segregation in residence, travel, recreation amusements and in some of the departments of the Federal government itself? In some form Negro scholarship must speedily come to the moral and spiritual resume of the colored youth of the nation. In a nation conceived in the Christian spirit of the common brotherhood of man, in a government based upon the political equality of all its citizens, how shall Negro scholarship gud itself in hold its own group true to these high doctrines while meeting the challenge of denial burden from the state of power occupied by millions of white countrymen? How shall the ever growing ranks of the black art industry be bounded by the people now? Will their leaders come to the moral social and spiritual rescue of the white countrymen and When it's skimers have voiced their highest thought, and it's ardors have painted their golden dreamstifle when it's poets have given wings to the heart and splits of the race, and it's musicians have enabled tham to sing as they fly, when it's scientists, philosophers and saints erect a monumental throne to Peace, Justice, Brotherhood, then may this black ambassador stand forth, and in the name of the American people, invite the white man of Europe, the brown men of Asia, and the black men of Africa to come and join us at the only holy shrine that can be, and share with us the victories we have won, the triumphs we have wrought in agony of soul the freedom of our minds, the liberation of our spirits. The all embracing arch of triumphant humanity shall span the oceans, over the mountains, in a deep foundation resting upon remnants latitude, whit standing, high beneath unfolding crass, a black crown, shall lay the gold stones that crowns the arch of human unity which is perhaps the highest divinity attainable by man."

Needs our united service and devotion more now than at any other period in our lives. If we fall to recognize this need, we delay the onward march of truth, and retard the spirit of genuine helpfulness. There is much misunderstanding. Many wrongs to be righted. Many heartaches from injustices and oppression, and yet, there are so many avenues for real service that one has not time to look at obstacles, save to make of them stepping stones. No time to think about difficulties, except as they help us to mount up from depths to heights. No time for bitterness, when everywhere people are dying for just a little bit of love. The year 1926 laden with opportunities knocks at our door. To seize these opportunities will require a firm hand, a steadfast heart, great courage, sublime patience, clear vision, same mind, lofty purpose, high ideals, the understandable and active spirit of Christ, which will give to each, not only the forward reach, but the onward and upward look. As a comrade marching in the great army, wherever you are, I great you, for we are marching together to hasten the great day of peace, understanding and good will. I am grateful to my friends everywhere, for the confidence, support, strength and comfort they have given to me. I am rlb in my friendships. May love and blessings be with you and your family during the New Year, and may you have the police which can be in use whose cause is just and whose work is well done. Clarence Dotson Hurt in Wreck On A.C.L. Near Charleston, S.C. Clarence Dotton, of 210 West 133rd street, was severely injured on Thursday morning, Christmas Eve, when trains 85 and 70 of the Atlantic Coast-line met in a head collision 28 miles north of Charleston, S. C. Mr. Dotton was in the A. C. L. diping cat, a member of the waiter's crew, and his head was cut so badly that four stitches had to be taken. He is at home now convalescing, nursing a cut head, black eye and bruises, and suffering from a general shakeup. Both engineers and both firemen, the latter being colored, were killed. The Negrd fireman of one train was buried beneath a pile of tangled steel and wood two tracks over from where his engine was, and was alive for several hours. So intense was the suffering he underwent, that he plead pituitously with those who were working to extricate his body that he be shot so that death might bring a merciless end to his sufferings. He died before the body could be taken out. Another New York colored man, Mr. Pearson, porter on the Pullman club car, was plined in the wreckage, one hand being caught in such a way that the other not be gutted out until fox fingers were amputated. Several other dining car waiters and cooks, and Pullman car porters were among the injured.

Visiting Women's Clubs and Schools Daytona, FL—Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune of the Daytona-Cookman Collegiate Institute, has just returned from an extended tour made in her capacity of president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, which lasted twelve weeks and covered most of the North, Northeast and Middle West During this trip, Mrs. Bethune is estimated to have addressed some 50,000 white college and high school students in many of the most important educational institutions of the country, including Vassar College, Upzala College, the University of Pennsylvania, Swathmore College, Germantown High School, Germantown Central School, South Philadelphia High School, and the Amer-Training School for Negroes.

Most Cherished among the Gifts bestowed by the Passing Year is the memory of the pleasant relations with those whom we have been privileged to serve. And so it is most sincerely that we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year PORD COLLEGE. We wish, for all of our mothers and readers, a Happy New Year. But of more importance we wish for our mothers and their babies a HEALTHFUL NEW YEAR! For the newborn infant, the first step toward this goal is 'MOTHER'S MILK.' There is only one adequate "baby food," and that is breast milk. No matter what your reasons may be, never take your baby off the breast without the advice of your family doctor. It has been shown that nearly 60 per cent of babies who died after the first week were artificially fed and that of this number 27 per cent were 'NOT under a doctor's care. Feeding your baby other than breast milk according to mother instinct increases its chance of becoming extinct. WHEN TO NURSE Do not nurse the baby every time it cries. The breast is not a pacifier. Nor will you need one if the baby is trained properly. The baby should be put to the breast every four hours for the first two days, and with the "running of the milk" on the third day, every three hours. This means every three hours by the clock and it is well to awaken the baby at feeding times. This establishes the habit of regularity. The hours should be at 6-9-12-3-6-9-1 or 2 A M. After the third month, the baby can be nursed at 3-hour intervals and after five months at four-hour intervals-6-10-2-6-10. Seven to twelve minutes is Cardinal Gibons Institute Pupila Play Santa Claus To Poor Children of Community Ridge, Md.—Christmas' The word brings both the idea of rejoicing and sacrifice. We think of rejoicing because we live again that Christmas of long, long ago when God gave us the most wonderful of all Christmas Gifts, His Son. We think of the sacrifice when he, remember, that God sacrificed His Son in order to give Him to us, who stood so much in need of help. This spirit of sacrifice was beautifully portrayed by the students of Cardinal Gibhons Institute on December 18, when they played Santa - Claus for the poorer children of the community, chiefly the children of St. Peter's Parochial School. One realizes how great the sacrifice was when one knows that the majority of the students of the institute are unable to pay full board and tuition, and yet each student made a contribution towards the Christmas tree for the oedic children. Many little hearts were made to beat faster with joy when stockings, sweaters, dresses, caps, mittens, coats, dolls, books, toys and candies were given by "Santa Claus". Before the presents were passed the institute students entertained their little friends by singing old familiar Christmas Carols. The students are planning to save a few pennies each month out of the pittance they receive from their parents, to provide for next year's gifts. The students were wished "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" on December 22 when they-left for their homes for the Christmas vacation which ends January 3, 1926. long enough on the average, provided your mother gets well and does not seem to be hungry. Some babies must be fed for 20 minutes, but we do not believe that if there is plenty of milk in the breast and there are no deficiencies of the silippe and the baby is vigorous that it is necessary ever to nurse in such cases 30 to 40 minutes as some mothers do. In these cases mothers tell me that the baby cries excessively as if hungry. I say "as if hungry" for the probability is that the baby cries because of an overloaded stomach. HOW-TO NURSE A low chair is preferable, and a stool on which to rest the foot adds to the mother's comfort. Suppose the baby is being given the right breast, then place the right foot on the stool, and with the baby in the hollow of your arm, the head well supported, put it to the breast. Be sure to keep the fullness of the breast from covering the baby's nose as this makes nursing more difficult and favors the swallowing of more air. Now all babies swallow air when nursing, so that it is a good plan to place the baby on the left shoulder after each nursing and gently pat its back and the air will come up. Failure to do this may lead to the symptoms called "colic." Give one breast at a time, that is give each breast alternately. After the baby has nursed its allotted time put it in the crib. Don't jump it up and down. the next important thing for your baby is sleep. You should nurse your baby as long as you can with this caution, after 10 months it is questionable if any mother's milk is adequate in food value for her baby. It is particularly deficient in iron after this time. Have the baby weighed once a week. This with examination of the baby periodically by your doctor is the only safe criterion to follow and not the "blueness" or "watery" character of the milk. One cannot tell anything of real value by just looking at a drop of milk squeezed out of the breast. CARE OF BREASTS The breasts should be washed with boiled, cooled water before and after each nursing. Sometimes it is stated that they should be washed with boric acid. We doubt if this is of any real value Still it is not harmful. Keep a clean piece of gauze over the breasts to protect them from the clothing. WEANING. At a later time we shall have more to say about this. Suffice it for the present to say that you should not wean your baby without a doctor's advice. Particularly should you not wean the baby suddenly, by yourself. Accustom the baby from birth to take water from the bottle. THE MOTHERS DIET The only rule in this case which we know and feel has the sanction of reason is—the mother may eat any food to which she was accustomed and which agreed with her before the baby came. We say this in spite of the fact that babies are sometimes sensitive to certain foods the mother eats and develop an eczema as a result. But the point is that one cannot say offhand in the beginning what these foods will be. Let milk, green vegetables and fruit have a place in your dietary every day. The mother should have a bowel movement every day. Eating bran and taking mineral oil will aid in this matter. A daily bath and exercise, such as walking in the open air every day, are also essential to the well-being of the nursing mother.

Rush Memorial Church A 1810 cloak the Junior Church service opened with singing by the junior choir of the Christmas hymns. Dr. Oliver preached to the young people on the meaning of Christmas." The senior congregation listened attentively and fervently to Dr. Oliver as he delivered a most beautiful sermon on "A Savior Born." St. Luke 2:11. He said, in part, "Every great movement has at its heart some secret, and by the Christmas celebration marks a great event, the advent of Christ, by human birth. Christ had existed before and exerted His influence over the people. Moses had seen His coming and so at Xmas He stepped out to fulfill His promise to bring joy and love and peace to all mankind. Before Christ came there was turnmil and restlessness. The pagan religions had tried to rule and while they had been favored, to a certain extent, the Christian religion was the only religion that was found to help others up the hill, and so wise men looked for Jesus as a Savior of the world, and the Child of Bethlehem ruled over a vast universe. He lives in the hearts of men to-day. He asks us to give ourselves as an Xmas gift." At 3 p.m. Rev Morris of St. John's Baptist Church preached a powerful and uplifting sermon in the interest of the promoters of the "Candlelight Mass."

Martin his own life story of how, when he had accepted Christ through the public spirit of a missionary in Japan, he went home with "Glad minds of Great Joy," to tell his mother and father, he was sent away from all that he held dear on earth. He was a real sacrifice for when he accepted Christ, at the same moment he lost his mother, father home, his earthly heritage. He decided to come to America to perfect himself along his chosen line and go back to his own people to enlighten them and bring them out of the darkness into the marvelous light of the Truth." He went again to his mother's home to bid them good-by, for he was to be gone ten years or more and when they realized that he had wholly and fully rejected their God. "Buddah," they drove him from the door and he was never to see them again in life. He came to America and after a few years had passed, he returned to find that his loved ones had THE 1ST, PAUL, BAPTIST CHURCH, 435 W. 918 S. 11th St. Sunday services 11 a.m. on Wednesday. 11 a.m. on Friday. 11 a.m. on P.

Dr Robinson delivered a very able address. Salem H. E. Church Bishop Luther B. Wilson of the New York Conference of the M E. Church preached the morning sermon at the services at Salem Church Sunday. It was the Bishop's first visit to new Salem and the advance announcement brought a large crowd to bear him. "It was only when God patiently argued with Moses that Moses came to his senses. He argued, he instilled, but he decided. He based this decision upon the values of the Almighty." Thus spoke Bishpoo Wilson in the course of his sermon discussing the one feature in Moses' own philosophy of life that enabled him to become "the most majestic personality in human history." The secret of Moses' success he said was wise choosing. Because he placed the emphasis on God's values rather than on the pleasures of sin on a sea, he preferred to suffer affliction among the people of God. And now all that is total of Moses has been marching right down the ages. "Are you as you deal with the problems of life dealing with God's value?" he asked "or are you dealing with the mistaken vanishing values rather than the everlasting ones?" What do the angels think of us with all the light of the centuries before us choosing the pleasures of sin for a season?" It is worth putting aside the pleasures of sin that perish with the using for the friendship of God." Describing the greatest battlefield in the world as the place where an individual stands before God and has to choose between earth's values and God's values, included. "We must have a Monster did. We must thwart away the time, the perishing and a step the more that God makes possible. The Widow of it remembering was the subject discussed at the Epiphany Lecture. Of much interest was displayed by the young people by the manner in which handled the top. At the close of the program Reverend Cullen made the summary remarks. The Christmas exercises of the Leavenom Church was held in the afternoon. The main feature of the program was the condition of the cantata. Theoration by George Kevin which was well done by the Choral other numbers were a selection of the partit of Mr. Church Church and in solos by Pete Albert, an orator singer from Greenwich Village. Miss Lillian Mitchell was a singer and Lorenzo Diver organist. The Rev. William Monroe delivered theoration. Union services were held Christmas morning at 5:30 at Salem Church by Push Memorial Church and Salem Dr. Oliver preached and his choir sang. The Sunday School's Christmas Tree was held Monday evenin.

The Third Wise woman. Reason. Bolden said: When we read of the Third Wise woman who saw this Star in the East and who guided their long vigil and journey to Jerusalem to greet Him, this does not impress with the truth and power of wisdom and human understanding when the mind is divinely illuminated. There may be regarded as learned selfless, discreet passing or directed by wisdom and judging correctly from experience. They may be classed as great astrology pioneers, one who studies the heavenly bodies the science which treats of their magnitudes, riddles, relative positions, and all connective phenomena." And we can acknowledge that they were distinctly illuminated astrologer, who understood astrology better. They were well skilled "in the art of forecasting or forecasting the future of mankind, by reference to the influence supposed to be exerted by the stars in their various aspects and relative positions upon the course of human destiny." They illustrated the phenomenon and reality of mysticism in the utility of their gifts and manner of offering them to the unconscious baby, Jesus Christ our Lord the Emmanuel. They noted the effect of their gifts upon what appeared to the mother Mary and Joseph, her husband, the unconscious Child. Louis F.

Good 1 ‘dese. at Tuskegee Institute, Mr. George Koster Peanot, New York City and Saratoga Springs, a philanthropist who has shown the liveliest and most helpful interest in the perpetuation of Negro music, both the folk and the Spiritual, delivered an address in which he said some fine things about the influence of Negro music. Incidentally, he mentioned that a few days previously he had heard, overlapping Georgia, of a colored choir leader whose singers could not sing any Negro Spirituals because they did not know any, and his comment was, "Think how poverty stricken was that choir leader who did not want to sing the Spirituals. Why? He wanted to be in white folks. It is not good to be like anybody else that ourselves, whether it is a white man, red man, yellow man of any other type. It is not worthwhile to try to imitate anyone. We have a thinking machine of ours and we want to use it and be like ourselves and give the world what we have." The Shrewport (La) Sun took exceptions to the use of white folks, and in what has been termed, "a rather commented very adversely to what he considered Mr. the comments appearing in a Sun editorially. Later, this Mr. Peabody's attention, and Mr. Peabody replied at length particular matter of Negro music, but also upon the general letter that sets forth in an unusual manner his attitude, superiority." much of interest in what Mr. Peabody has to say about the music in his Tokugye address and it is so pertinent to out in his letter to the editor of the Shrewport Sun, that he part and his letter are reproduced herewith. to a white man red man, Editor of The Shreveport Sun and any other type.

Some you heard in talk about the Spirituals whom we were before I have had opportunity to talk with Mr. Browne and others about them. I saw that remarkable young man—George Johns of Balaanta Taylor. The last man when his grandfather was captured, his name was original only. Balaanta and I have advised him to use simple the Ballanta. So he has dropped the Taylor in the great work he is in writing the music of the African people, which he discovered also at Valley at Hampton Institute at Keger Institute ending at Penn pol in the Island of St Helena. He finds it based on seventeen under stones in between our twolves and white people have never sung.

But he said, We colored troops cannibal do that We are called by these facts to a better and more life-less oblige to the living beings and to greater than those And the spirit of the Lord put in his mind to sing the Spirituals and the voices of those soldiers rose in those old melodies.

The Negro Art Capacity. "This has been most notable in music. I have recently had the good fortune to be associated with Mr. Nicholas George Julius Ballanta (Taypee), a native of Sistera Leone, whom I found to have one of the most powerful musical minds I have ever met with. I am asking to have sent to you a copy of "Opportunity," in which Professor Alain Locke reviews his most scientific study of African music. I also had the good fortune to have some association with the notable work done by Mrs. Natalie Curtis Burlin in the study of the Negro Polk Songs. I am having mailed you a copy of the book published by Hampton. One of the most eminent and brilliant of our musicians told me once that he considered Mrs. Burlin to have the finest musical mind of anyone in America. She was a mico of the late George William Curtis, one of the most splendid friends the Negro race ever had. She had no slightest feeling of race superiority but believed, as I do, that the Negro race has a very great contribution to make to the evolution of true Christian civilization through the art talent so richly given to this race. "It is because I wish this distinctive quality of the Negro people to be emphasized as indicating that they have a very real contribution to make to our civilization that I am so urgent in pleading that they do not just copy white folks. I believe if you will give study to the philosophy underlying my thought you will come to the conclusion that the group of rural Negroes in Georgia made a great mistake in not singing their own quite remarkable music rather than singing something that all the hearers considered poor, dome and not worth giving the time to listen to, although they did hear because of their subtle sympathy with the Negro—an unfortunate sympathy in my mind, because sympathy was attached to a feeling of lack of capa in the Negroes, whereas it is true that the Negro Spirituals are beyond the capacity of white folks because of their notable fullness of rhythm. Mr. Palma has proved to his own satisfaction and to other musical scholars a success. Negroes use in their singing notes a place rather than the way they classical music it is beautiful under E JEBSIE COVINGTON, Pianist G WARRFF TARANT, Bartonis EUGENE MARS MAR.TIN, Violinist Open For Recital Engagements Address or Phone G. W Tarant, Business Manager, 117 West 141st 81- (Bradhurst 4826) Dec5-Jun Telephone University 6033 Edward Errington Steele "May I say that you have, in my day, I say that you have, in my opinion, a very definitely wrong angle in the associations of these Spirituals with slavery. You make that a cause of affliction in connection with them, whereas it is the glory of the Negro that while in such disgrace, state of subordination his soul goes to the high and abysmal faith in God and His Christ, and his wonderful skill, talent brought forth these U. beautiful and rich motives within the hearts to give this permanent setting of beauty to this demonstration of true Christian conduct of the soul over physical circumstances. "I beg you to read again the account of the influence of those Spirituals rendered in an utterly unknown language upon the entire population of French villages, a mutual people, too." "You say in your editorial, 'Let the Negro turn his face forward and lift up his eyes into the hills and, travel upward.' That is just what he has done. You further advise them to imitate 'other races' and 'forget the past.' It is the glory of the Negro that he remembered the great Hebrew Prophet's words 'Remember the rock from from which thou wait howed.' It is no disgrace to the Negro that he was a slave. He was not responsible for that, but it is to his glory that in slavery he manifested, the high quality of the human Son of God—forgiveness and love. In closing, may I beg you to absolutely eliminate from your mind, without a shred of support, the belief that the true appreciation of Spirituals by the white race has in it anything but admiration for the superior rhythmful revelations of Negro music. We are now discovering in Africa those same musial talents and it is, to a considerable extent, because of the revelations made by Negroes in the South that this very important discovery is being now developed. GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY Reamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon Sing Again F D Perkins, in the New York Herald-Tribune, had the following to say about the recital of Spirituals at Town Hall Sunday by J Rosamond Johnson and Taylor Gordon. "Taylor Gordon and J Rosamond Johnson, the two Negro interpretative artists, who had made an unusual impression in their two earlier appearances at the Garrick Theatre, gave their third recital of the season yesterday afternoon at Town Hall with another program of Spirituals, arranged for voice and piano by Mr Johnson, including a number welcomed in their previous concerts. As before, Mr Taylor sang and Mr Johnson played and sang giving an effect of spiritual unity, marked expressive ability and intense and sincere emotion. F D P C. C. White, Violinist, Played For High School Institute W Va Clarence Cameron on White, head of the music department of the West Virginia College Institute played a program for violin music on Friday, December 18 at 2 p.m. complimentary to the 10-R Class Garrett High School Charleston W Va with Mrs White at the piano His program included a sonata by Lade the Prize Song from Wagner's "Meistersturm." numbers by Dwirak- Kreisler Heuberger-Kreisler Massen et Schubert, with a group of compositions by Mr White himself "On the Bayon, "Serenade "Negro Chant" and "Negro Dance" ZACKERY, Jessie Andrews This exhibition with E. Gilbert Anderson, exhibitionist, Alla Ross, guest conductor, and Felix P. Weir, violinist, as soloist, offered a program of interest, including Overture from Jan Webers "Der Preisahute" Beetelmann's First Symphony in C major; Secrets from an "Imaginary Ballet" Coldridratt-Taylor; two movements from Mendelsohn's E Minor Cantata for violin (Overture from Nicolaus Messer-Wiess of Windsor). Allele Ross conducted the first number. "Des Deslachite," and brought splendid response from the group. It was under Mr. Anderson's own baton that the balance of the program was rendered, and despite the atmospherics of the hall, which was anything but warm, the performers showed the result of careful, earnest rehearing. The Beethoven Symphony was made more interesting by copious and elaifying program notes prepared by Dr. Algernon B. Jackson of Philadelphia. Mr. Weir played the Andante and Allegro movements of the Mendelssohn Concerto with his usual artistry. There was a slight tendency on the part of the orchestra to hurry him a bit in the ad libitum, but the general coordination between violinist and orchestra was very delightful. Mr. Weir was obliged to acknowledge several rounds of applause from the large and enthusiastic audience. Before the last number, Director Anderson spoke of the cooperation he is receiving from the men in the orchestra who are rehearsing weekly in their endeavor to carry out the idea of a symphonic group in Harlem. He emphasized the interest of persons outside of New York—in Jersey and as far South as Washington—and asked the continued support of those in Harlem who are anxious to see such work developed. The next concern of the Harlem Symphony Orchestra will be on Sunday afternoon, February 13, when Frank G. Harrison, baritons, will be the soloist. Paul Robeson and Lawrence Brown probably the most famous (many who sing Negro Spirituals) will appear at the Town Hall New York City, on Tuesday evening January 5 at 8:30 o'clock. This will be the first concert of their trans-Continental tour which embraces practically every large city in the East, North and Western states, with a few special appearances in Canada. The tour will take about two months to complete and the tour direction under the management of James Pond of the Pond Bureau. Paul Robeson returned recently from London and Paris where he appeared in the title role as a guest atist, in Emperor Lies. His appearance in London as a positive personal triumph brought the play itself did not suit Mr. Robeson's four weeks after the fact since the last spring of ocean grove.

That is added the artist of the brilliant Lyrebird Franklin Dyer, longtime director of Mt Olivet Baptist Church presented his choir in a reel of Christmas music at the evening services of the church Sunday December 27. Mia Lillian Mitchell, sister to Willie Rams-Mays, contralto soloist in choir, and a teacher of piano and French at the State College of Music, Del., played a piano solo. The first number was "Christ is born" by the choir, followed by a tenor solo by Charles Simmons, "Holy Night," supported by the choir. Miss Glove P. Hopkins, soprano, sang "The Christ Child," and D. L. Haynes sang a bass solo, "Whitie by Sheep," supported by the choir. The chorus rendered a slumber song, "Infant Jesus," after which Mrs Wilkie Rams-May sang a solo, Arthur Wilson sang a tenor solo and the quartette rendered "Glory." The song service was preceded by scripture reading and a fifteen minutes discourse by Rev J Rasymond Henderson, assistant pastor. Military Band Concert At Jefferson City, Mo.

It stands and it shall stand clean, unbound and unafraid. It has sought to reach the musician and the music leader—and it has. Some have soildered, some have unappugged, some have "carried one" blind have risen down with him. The good ship has brought and the ill ship has carried. The winds have blown on slaughter and the winds have blown fortune. They have cursed like corals and their euphonium has stolwed things onward. They have charged like the light brigade and their charging has hurried the clang of disobedient. The skies have been so still as a dying tyrant, but the skies now sing with laughter—for it is the hope of the New Year. HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIEND READERS, HAPPY NEW YEAR With the ringing in of 1926, one's thoughts naturally turn to the contemplation of things. Not the hanky old disenchanted convention of making New Year resolutions. Not so with the Deacon Johnson's Musicians Exchange, for the child of the Deacon's brain is patterned exactly after the Deacon's own mode of thinking. He is evolutionary, revolutionary, free thinking, advanced and liberal. The nubblers, parasites and hangers-on of the profession who have hung themselves and held him in arrears by trying to climb upon his back, term him "loose", wicked, incontinent — Whose 'Back up' Slop calling names. But what care weef is New Year. We are looking ahead As to resolutions "Neine" Deacon Johnson is promoting a business that towers and shall stand for truth, right, justice and the emancipation of the race musician from the evils of mismanagement. The Deacon Johnson Musician and Entertainer Exchange is a model for multifacial leaders and musical contests to cleanse house for musical interests, musical opinions, musical disparagement, as well as preparedness. A clearing house for all that is discontent, as well as all that harmonizes. Moreover, the Exchange is an enterprise, the chief business of which is to develop class musicianship and school the leaders in the knowing and the importance of knowing musical values. Deacon Johnson is building in right and in truth with full appreciation of a producer's responsibility to the community. Dea in our choice can Success depends upon the carefully directed development, character, persona and quality. He further philosophies that we can succeed only as asst as we can change, we can charge only as fast as we can think we can think only as fast as we can learn we need more brain. Why bother with a certain that is uttered in the future and advanced so easily much more difficult than the current records we are faced with budget is made and our goals set.

It might just chance that it lodged in your mouth. It came as a shock to me, a blow, a "horrid realization" that my own secretary did not understand the difference between the Grippie and the Influenza?

In the meantime, Master First-Time Away From Home, who has been quite composed and sedate since he boarded the train at School Hill station, rushes up to the porter and inquires if the porter thinks it will be necessary for him to send his mother a telegram, as she expects him on this train, and it is now ten minutes behind its scheduled time. On being assured that it isn't necessary, he goes back to his seat. But the porter sees from his expression that a feeling of doubt lingers in his mind about this piece of advice. The foregoing incidents are merely a fraction of the things with which the porter comes in contact during the Yuletide week of travel. The seasoned porter, of course, is accustomed to them. He usually retains his good nature and answers all questions to the best of his knowledge. He is also philosophical about it. The train finally arrives at the stations to which the various offices are going. Each station presents the same scene: standing, with eager, longing and loving eyes, are the expectants. And while the expected ones have tried his patience to the limit, yet the porter cannot help but amile, even though it is inwardly, at the meeting; for he realizes that it is Christmas week.
