Loew's Victoria Discriminates It is Charged

Negro physicians in Harlem entertain widely-divergent views relative to what steps should be taken to establish a home for colored convalescents, it developed at a meeting held to discuss the question Thursday, April 1. at the New York Urban League, 202-4 West 136th street Some of the physicians, despite figures submitted showing Negroes barred from the majority of convalescent institutions, opposed the establishment of a separate home for the race on the ground that it smacked of segregation. There were others who thought the most important issue was providing a suitable place for the colored convalescent, especially in view of the fact that the doors of nearly nine out of ten institutions are closed

2nd Seventh Day Adventists Church Opposes Sunday Law
2nd Seventh Day Adventists Church Opposes Sunday Law
Last Saturday morning at eleven o'clock Pastor M. C. Strachan of the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, 106-108 West 127th street presented a resolution to his congregation which looks with disfavor upon the proposed Sunday bills now seeking passage in our national Congress at Washington, D C. This resolution was mailed to Congress and a copy also give to the newspapers. The Age prints herewith a copy of the resolution.
Whereas: There is a strong tendency today to intermingle religion and politics, and to usher the kingdom of God into the world through the gateway of politics by means of reform legislation and religious enactments, thus paving the way for the establishment of the union of church and state.
Whereas: The Civil Government and the Church occupy two distinct spheres and functions of administration, heretofore
Resolved: That we the members of the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, New York City, and loyal citizens of these United States of America in meeting assembled, in the City of New York, State of New York, April 3, 1926, do look with disfavor upon attempts now being made to establish the Christian religion and its institutions by civil law by seeking the passage of four Sunday measures in our national Congress in Washington, known as H R 7179, H R 7822, H R 10123, and H R 10311, which would favor the doctrines of one particular religious organization in preference to the tenets of another, and thus deny the equality of all American citizens before the law. And be it further
Resolved: That we, the members of the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church, and loyal citizens of the United States, do hereby register our protest against the enactment of all religious laws and their enforcement under pain by civil magistrates, but rather refer the question of Sunday observance and Sabbath restriction back to the churches to be propagated by teaching and preaching, instead of appealing to civil magistrates for aid in a matter that should be strictly settled by the conscience of the individual alone. God made the conscience free, and never intended that it should be enslaved by civil authorities or by the overwhelming majority of any class or religionists. We the members of the Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church and citizens of the commonwealth do here and now declare ourselves in favor of the absolute separation of church and state and of religious freedom as conceived by the founders and fathers of our American Republic.

Officer Haeser Saves Three From Flames
While Policeman Haeser, of the West 123rd street police station was walking down Seventh avenue on Wednesday night, he discovered a blaze in the apartment house at 2135 Seventh avenue. He sent in an alarm and returned to the house and aroused all the tenants.
Mrs Arthur Huggins and her four year old son were overcome by smoke. Mrs Gwendolyn Wright, an invalid, was brought from the burning building by Policeman Haeser. She was in a semi-conscious condition and it was a little difficult to bring her out.
The building was an old building and was equipped with old fashioned fire escapes, which endangered the lives of all the tenants. The halls became dense with smoke and only a few tenants could come down the fire escapes. Several occupants of the house went to the roof and crossed to the next building on boards.
The furnishing in all the apartments was ruined by smoke and water. The origin of the fire has not been determined and seem to be another one of those mysterious fires which have occurred in Harlem during the past few months.

Geo. Budd Williams Found Guilty in Robbery Murder
Less than two months after the crime George Budd Williams, a West Indian twenty six was found guilty of first degree murder by a jury before Judge Allen in General Sessions, April 1, for killing William B Young a watchman in a loft at No. 52 Lighthouse avenue. Williams with three others entered the loft early February 7 and after killing Young by heating him with a large chisel robbed the place. A few hours later he was captured with stolen goods. He was the first of the four to be tried. He contended he was not present when the murder was committed. He will be sentenced April 8 to die in the electric chair.
About 1 o'clock in the afternoon shortly after the house opened, McCoy alleges he bought a ticket for downstairs. The price of admission for orchestra seats and in the first balcony are asid to be the same, as are the tickets.
When he started to go into the orchestra McCoy says he was stopped at the door by a female usher who informed him that his ticket would admit him to the first balcony as all seats on the first floor were taken. This fact McCoy vigorously displeased maintaining the house had been erected a short time and there the ticket was no rush to purchase tickets for the orchestra.
Presenting his ticket at the box-office he was told by the cashier, upon questioning, that the ticket he held called for downstairs, he alleges However, this assurance failed to get him the desired seat
Manager "Questions" Cashier.
During the controversy the manager was called and he is said to have approached the cashier and significantly asked her "This ticket isn't for the orchestra, is it?" Then the young woman is said to have reversed her former statement and declared that the ticket called for a first balcony seat. About this time a representative of The Age was passing and was told of the incident. When the manager was accused of discriminating on the grounds of color he sought to show where there were no seats on the first floor, which statement he was not willing to verify.

Miss Mildred Corinthus, 231 West 141st street, and Mrs B. Smith, 224 West 138th street colored bought balcony seats after McGoy had been denied admittance on the first floor and said they saw white people getting or chestra seats. Lowe's Victoria Theatre is a combination vaudeville and motion picture house. It has a large colored clientele but they are seated in the upper part of the house. That the Negro is discriminated against downstairs although the race spends hundreds of dollars daily with the theatre management is the charge made by colored theatre-gores.
The same price is charged for seats in the first balcony as in the orchestra is the assertion often made. Two sets of tickets are used—buff for downstairs and blue for upstairs. Unless a Negro specifically asks for an orchestra seat he is showed a blue ticket and in the majority of instances "all orchestra seats are taken" is the usual piece of information handed, it is alleged

A group of high school girls, 11 in number under the name of the "Cheerful Contributors' Club, is doing much towards alleviating the distress of Harlem's poor and needy children. Their latest effort along this lines was the Easter distribution of fifty children's dresses, every one of which was made by the girls themselves. The accompanying photograph shows a group of children wearing some of the dresses.
The "C.C. C", as the girls' club is called, had these dresses on exhibition, prior to the distribution, in the windows of the Mite. Allone Doll Factory, Seventh Avenue, between 135th and 136th streets, and the fine hand work shown attracted much attention. The girls are constantly engaged in making pretty and servicable garments for needy children, but this is only a small part of the wonderful charitable work of the club.
Besides this particular phase of work, the girls have given programs for the girl inmates of the Katy Ferguson Home, and have made substantial contributions of groceries and other commodities to that home. They are especially active at Christmas and Easter times in dispensing charity where it will be most effective, and their work is without religious or social limitation.
Officers and members of the C. C. C. are Dolores Cole, president; Julia White, vice-president; Constance Evans, secretary, Beatrice Madison, treasurer; Rachel Vanderzee, financial secretary, Ina Reid, sergeant-at-arms, Pearl Brown, Gladys Mathews, Marjorie Reid, Viola Jones, Loretta Madison.

J. A. Rogers Reviews History of Bankers Fire Insurance Co.
BY J. A. ROGERS
How a colored fire insurance company setting with little experience and at a most trying period, trebled its capital and is ranked to-day with many of the leading white firms of America in homesty and efficiency, all in five years, is the amazing achievement of he Banker's Fire Insurance Company of Durham, North Carolina, whose offices I had the recent pleasure of visiting.
On consulting Best's Insurance Guide for 1925-world recognized authority, I found this colored firm, which is perhaps the only one of is kind, had been given the highest possible rating for paying its fire losses. In management, it received a rating equal with scores of leaching white firms, one of which has been in operation more than twenty. Among these are: The Central Fire of Baltimore, 1865; Detroit Fire and Marine, 1866; Stuyvesant Fire of New York, 1850; Insurance Company of the Sate of Pennsylvania, 1794; and the Eagle Star of London, England, with assets of five millions. Several big firms were rated tower than this colored one, one of them being one of New York's greatest, with assets of sixty millions. Surely this is an accomplishment of which Negroes everywhere may well be proud
The company was organized at a time when there were unfortunate happenings to corporations owned and controlled by Negroes, yet it has made such splendid headway that it has paid a dividend of four dollars on each share for the last three consecutive years. And as proof that when the Negro succeeds in business white firms are ready to recognize it as an offer from one of the large general agencies of Baltimore, one from a large general agency in Tennessee, one from Arkansas, one from New York and one from New Jersey, to act as representatives for Banker's Fire in those states.
The firm owns the modern three story building in which it is located has assets of nearly four hundred thousand dollars, and policies of over eleven million dollars part of which is reinsured in reputable white companies.
At the annual meeting held in the Home Office on March 11, the annual report showed that the company had entered one additional state—Arkansas—in 1925. The report also shows that in writing automobile insurance covering fire and theft only, the company had not had a single loss on this class of business. Tornado Insurance has also been authorized by the Board of Directors. The officers are W G Pearson, president, C C Spaulding, vice-president and J M Avery, treasurer. The last two are president and treasurer respectively of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company. The secretary manager is W Gomer, who possesses a personal letter of commendation from the Bests Guide Company for the excellent manner in which the business has been conducted. The system was installed by L W Willote, who has been acting auditor since the organization of the company R N Harris is managing underwriter and H W Hill, special representative. The clinical work is done by a staff of efficient young colored women.
It is encouraging to note that this is a progressive organization along all lines. At the recent meeting of the stock holders one of the most pleasant surprises came to a worthy someone man I W. Wilhote who could hardly believe it when hegans notified that he had been elected to the Board of Directors of the company. The manager W. Comz in presenting him for election to the stockholders and among other things. We must recognize ability and give the mentored places their worthy young men who are giving their eyes to foster our corporations.

Prof Ambrose Caliver, Assistant Dean of Fisk University, was the official delegate to the mea- of Deans and Reg insrats of Negro Schools recently held in Greenhorn North Carolina. He was elected chairman of the Publicity Committee.
For the third time in Awd weeks Dr. Hubert L. H. Harrison, Negra scholars, lecturer and editor will address, as their request the students at the University, when he appears both before and after that, to speak on the subject "Is the Political Necessary?" The subjects of the previous lectures were "Science and Rage Prejudice" and "Locarno, Imperialism and the Learq of Nations."
As a rule a lecturer is considered fortunate to be invited to address the students once in a single year. The fact that the first features for whom this custom has been broken is a full-blooded, Negro is of itself significant. The University of the State of New York is made up of two main sections: one on University, Helpless and the other at Waverly place, down town. The downtown section, hearing of the successes of the black lecturer uptown, has also extended to him an invitation to address them on Tuesday. April 13 on "Science and Race Prejudice."
Dr. Harrison has filled the position of staff lecturer for the Board of Education for four years, and his numerous admirers, white and colored, are arranging a testimonial dinner for him at Craig's Restaurant to be given early in May.

William F. Hutton, 61 years of age, who lived at 309 Brown avenue, Jamaica, Long Island, died Saturday, April 3, at 10 a.m. in Jamaica Hospital, and was buried on Tuesday, April 6 in Maple Grove Cemetery, Long Island. The Rev. Wm. S. McKinney officiated.
Mr. Hutton had been in the employ of the Union Trust Co. of New York for 57 years, having entered the employ of that company, then located at 73 Broadway, on July 1, 1868, just a few years after that company's incorporation. Only one person is now living who was connected with the company at that time and this man retired from active business like ten years ago.
When, in 1918, Mr Hutton completed fifty years of service with the company, the president, other officers and all of the employees assembled in the large banking room at 80 Broadway, the present offices, and splendid tributes were paid Mr Hutton by the then president and other officers and fellow workers, and he was presented with a certificate of stock in the company, which, about that time had become the Central Union Trust Co., by a merger which took over the Central Trust Co.
Present officers of the Trust Co. with a number of the employees, attended the funeral services in Jamaica, and joined in giving expression to the high regard in which their former associate was held. For many years, according to Vice President, J. V. B. Thayer, of the company, Mr. Hutton was always selected to perform the most important and confi-

"It was a wonderful fate for the younger social act of Harlem Easter Sunday."
Seventh avenue was jammed from 125th street to 145th street, with a laughing and happy crowd. The sun was shining from a clear blue sky, blotting out that memory of the night before, when only thunder and lightning greeted many inquiries of "Is it clearing up?" or "I hope it stops raining so I can go to church and see what Miss So and So is wearing?"
The young women came out in all hues, but gray and blue, were the dominant colors.
A few took the younger renovation again on the avenue were the Misses Madeline Pynne, Mand Sherman, Stephanie Davis, Mrs Chauchey H. Reynolds and her daughter, Miss Alma and her son Chauchey H., Miss Florence Koya, Misses Freyby and Lilian Bagby, Inez Kingle, Dewey Tiblomax Hermann Bennett, Kenneth Blake, Ulysses Barton, Franklin Clemente, Francis Flatts, Viola Walker and James Lucas.
Though the sun was shining the wind blew with all its fury, sending chills through those who were thoughtless enough to not don overcoats. Our fair sex strolled on as Gold? No, it is ill-wollen. And we went on laughing, talking and shivering.
Between, 135th and, 138th, streets, young men lined the sidewalks. There was something to be seen in all directions, and the girls kept the boys' heads tucking East, West, North, South and every other way. The wind blew. A hat went rolling out into, the streets. A young man came around, the corner panelling. He looked down the avenue. An endless line of automobiles was coming. There his new Eater hat lay, doomed. But traffic or no, traffic, his hat was in daigner, of being tucked into an unrecognizable shape. He dashed out in front, of the motor cars, held his hold up, as a traffic cop does, and when the cars had come to a standstill, he picked his hat up, brushed it off, and to the amusement of the crowd which had gathered, he thanked the motorists and went his way. Moral: Protect your hat if you want it to protect you.

(From The New York Harbor Tribune)
The defeat in the Senate Judiciary Committee last Wednesday of the Greatrial bill is印制ed at Albany, he countenatively refuting the charge that Chairman Ronald had a hand in the demise of the same measure in the same body last year. A problem of personal politics, interesting to a limited number of New Yorkers, is thus disposed of. But another problem, affecting hundreds of thousands of voters here, remains to be disposed of.
This Greenhalgh bill, passed by the Assembly last year and again this year, represented an effort to secure enforcement of the tenement house law. The Tenement House Department is empowered to report on "enforcement of the tenement house law, including the health and bodily safety of tenants. If orders inspections and if good cause is found, serves notice of violation on landlords. But if has discovered, no practicable way to make such notice effective in case the landlords refuse to comply with them. The municipal authorities might underwrite, repairs themselves and collarize this law and adjourn procedures involving the city, in operations, unanimated to this ordinary methods of administration and regulation. City officials, fight all of it. The system of reports and orders to amend violations, has consequently broken down.
The Grendal bill offered a simpler and prompter remedy. It empowered the tenant to deposit his rent with Department's injunctions were carried out until the Tenement House Department. instructions, were carried out. Obviously the litent of the law. It made deliberate disregard of the tenement code a bar to collection of rents by the violator.
The Senate Judiciary Committee has twice disapproved this suggestion, although offering nothing constructive in its place. The Legislature created the situation in which protection is promised to the tenant against depressions involving health and personal safety. But this assurance is turned into mockery when the Tenement' Department's orders are ignored or resisted and the law remains unenforced.
Mrs. Pratt, the alert and progressive Alderman from the 15th District, has been laboring for some time past to secure better enforcement of the violations law. She recently introduced a resolution in the Board of Aldermen creating a revolving fund out of which urgent repairs made by the city could be financed. She is trying to have the force of inspectors increased. The violations law itself can hardly be questioned. It is a natural exercise of the state power, powerless to resist. Judiciary authority would rather abolish the protection promised to tenants, why does it not frankly report a repealing act canceling the Tenement House Department powers now exiting, which apparently are incapable of producing results?

Choosing Curtains For Better Homes
Choosing curtains for the house brings to mind fabrics of charming color and texture hanging in graceful folds. But it is not always easy to get just the effect the mind first pictured, and cost must be considered. To curtain the windows of seven a room house, about 60 yards of material is needed, and curtains generally have to be renewed every few years.
A help to the local committee who under the auspices of "Better Homes" in America are planning and furnishing demonstration houses to be thrown open to the public during "Better Homes Week" April 25 to May 1, the Bureau of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture makes suggestions about curtain fabrics and ways of hanging them. Thousands of the visitors to these houses will be looking for ways or making of curtain curtains are an excellent means of furnishing up an old house or are needed as the finishing touch to a new one.
In planning curtains remember that windows are put in houses in order to admit light and air. Make your curtains as simple as effectiveness will permit. Elaborate curtains, defeat the purpose of windows and are out of place in the average home. Look carefully at the shape and size of the windows and how they are placed in the walls. Picture the effect of curtains of various styles on those particular windows and how they will appear from the outside as well as the inside of the house. If there are lovely views from the windows, study how to keep them without sacrificing privacy and an attractive interior. An unattractive view may need to be screened by curtains, but beware of shutting out too much light. Study the general style of your curtains. Curtains can help to make a room homelike and inviting, or bright and formal, depending on the kind of material used and how it is hung.
Glass curtains made of thin material and hung on a straight rod inside the casing close to the glass soften and change the color of the light coming into the room, lend an air of privacy, and are easy to draped. Glass curtains should be just long enough to escape the sill.
Side draperies give a finished appearance to the window, are useful as shades if arranged to draw, and are a good means of adding color to the room and of modifying poor proportions. In small homes, side draperies that end on a line with the apron of the window are more suitable. If a more formal effect is desired, they extend to the baseboard or an inch above the window, be fitted with or without draperies carries the eye across the top and has the effect of decreasing the height of room and window
Before buying curtain material get samples of the kinds that seem most suitable and see how they go with walls, woodwork, floor and furniture by both day and artificial light. Strong light shining through curtain fabrics often brings on effects not suspected until put in this. Excellent curtain materials can sometimes be found among the dress goods.
Fabribs and colors that will clean well and withstand light are the best bargain in the end. I examine also his defective buttons and show them the curtains are hung.
With figured wall paper, choose plain-colored curtain material. If the walls and most of the furnishings are plain, the curtains may be figured, but preferably with the background the same color or slightly deeper than the walls. With cream walls, for instance, a cremeine with soft tan background and figures that repeat the colors used elsewhere in the room might be suitable for living and dining rooms.
In selecting figured materials give preference to conventional designs that will stand the test of being looked at day after day. Spraying designs make the window look shorter and broader and stripes tend to increase the height and if used in excess give a stiff uncomfortable effect. Measure the uncomfortably with care before making up the curtains. Accuracy in cutting and neat sewing goes a long way toward insuring well hanging curtains.

Adelbert Bailey, 17, of 213 West 135th street was arraigned in Washington Heights Courts Friday on a charge of larceny. He was held in $1,000 bail for Special Session. Lester Straus, salesman, testified that he parked his automobile in front of a store at 58 West 125th street. He alleged that he left about $250 worth of silk stockings and underwear in the car. While he was in the store Bailey was seen taking the goods from the automobile. Bailey was arrested by Defective Kamerer, of the West 125rd street police station, after he had been questioned and admitted that he had attempted to steal the goods.

It seems that last Monday morning was the beginning of seven years hard luck for Lester Lynch, who broke a mirror Lynch, who gave his address as 161 Wet 140th street was hailed to Washington Heights Court Monday on a charge of felonious assault and held in $5,000 bail for Special Session Joseph Allen, 2460 Seventh avenue, who has a restaurant at 120 West (138th street told the court that Lynch came into his place drunk. He became nonsy and abusive, and when he spoke to him he threw a stone at his (Allen) heg. The stone missed its mark and went through a large mirror which was in the restaurant Lynch then drew a revolver and fired one shot. A policeman was called from the West 135th street police station Lynch was arrested. He was drunk then, but he became very sober when hailed before the bar of justice.

The detectives from the 10th Precinct Station believe that they have found a clue to the disappearance of suits and other clothing from the tailor shop in

Col. A. Little Thanks
Col. Cus. Filmore For
Letter of Condolences
Col. Charles W. Fillmore, a former member of the 399th Infantry, was among the many Haremiles who sent messages of condolence to other commanders of regiment, on that day, few weeks ago. Replying to Col. Fillmore's message, Col. Little wrote as follows:
"My dear Col. Filmore, I appreciate very deeply your letter, so me upon the occasion of the death of my wife and your expressions of sympathy for me were and are of real comfort;
"I remember as though it were but yesterday when we were comrades in the same regiment in France, when you received my dreadful news of this loss of your wife and I remember, toob, how bravely you carried on in the performance of your duty with mourning in your heart.
nk you truly, my dear colonel.
Sincerely yours,

Miss Lolyta Lynn Is Hostess To Scotia Society
The March meeting of the Scotland scholarship Society was held at the home of Miss Lolyta Lynn, 609 Bramhall avenue, Jersey City. Both Senior and Junior Memberships were exceptionally well represented.
H. Martin reported a letter from M. Howard, one of the Society's scholarships, which greatly encouraged the members to do still more for the scholarly young man. Miss E. Cannon remarked that Mr. Howard's excellent marries were simply a continuation of his high school marks. His Goldsborough and others presented several beautiful pieces of workhard to be presented in the Hope Ghost.
The program was very interesting and unusual consisting of several phone openic conditions by Mish Muriel Davidson of New York City, and a stiring appeal urging college women to be more active in the exertion of their uplifting influences by taking an interest in the Women's Bureau given by the renowned Mrs. E. Ross Haines also of New York City.
As to the Jersey City Follies of 1926 they certainly promise to live up to their name if judgment is to be placed on Monday night practices at the Y. W. C. A. and the chorus, on my l'lineup is a good sight for any kind of eyes. Who are they, Misses. M. Ahrams, L. Lynn, M. Brown, L. Gowan, M. Banks, L. Dempsey and many other local beauties. The songs they sing are just right. In fact it seems that Coach J. Hogans has made a very special attempt to have play is very ably taken care of by such talented personas as the Misses E. L. Stone, M. Meertz, R. D. Tepley, C. Gear, R. Siggi's pleadings from Coach Hogan as don't be so slow—you are too rough—not quite so temperamental over there, etc., are intermittently heard during dramatic practice.

HOME FOR CONVALESCENTS. The question of establishing a home for colored convalescence formed the subject of discussion by a group of physicians and welfare workers at the New York Urban League recently and brought out a variety of opinions. The league has conducted two homes for this purpose during the past few years, one for men at Elmsford, N. Y., and the other on Staten Island. Owing to the limited number that could be accommodated, the capacity has not been adequate to the needs of this kind of work. Social workers and hospitals feel that enough is not being done for colored patients and a study of their needs was instituted by the United Hospital Fund
It was stated by one of the investigators for the Fund, that out of thirty-six adult homes of this kind only seven stated that they admitted colored patients, and of forty-three children homes twenty declared that they admitted colored. In some cases this statement was changed when the officers learned that it was to be published. As a result of this study it was deemed necessary to establish a home for colored convalescence, in order to more adequately meet the problem of furnishing the proper care for such cases. The sum of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars it was estimated would run twenty-five year round beds. A plan to establish such a home on Staten Island or some other place was approved by the United Hospital Fund and a committee of workers and a part of the money pledged.
Some of the physicians raised the objection that the proposition of a segregated home would not prove advantageous, although the definite need for proper provision for convalescents was admitted. Others advocated that all the money for such a home should come from colored people and that it should be run and financed by the race. One woman raised the question if the United Hospital I and would be willing to establish a home that would take both white and colored
The editor of The Age took the position that although colored people object to segregation when imposed by outside pressure, they often see to segregate themselves. He stated that ninety-one per cent of the patients treated by the physicians present were colored. He pointed to the example of the Jews who have grown great and flourished by the practice of segregation. They worked and struggled on the Eastside, until they built up their resources and were able to take their place as a powerful unit in the community and build hospitals and homes for themselves. They used their segregation as a means to developing the business possibilities of the race. Jewish communities built up business for the men and women of that race. The trouble with the Negro is that he is to some extent a pauper. Not that he does not earn money, but he lacks the quality of thrift and business enterprise, so as to make his earnings go to the development of racial enterprises. The Negro is willing to give to projects that are started by the initiative of white or have their endorsement.
All these facts and opinions should be taken into consideration in deciding upon the establishment of the needed home for convalesence.
THE PROHIBITION REFERENDUM
If the Republicans in the New York Legislature can summon up sufficient courage to come to a decision on the subject it looks as if the voters of the State will have an opportunity to express their sentiments at the ball it box as to whether prohibition enforcement should be modified or not. The unacquainted form of the referendum to be submitted to the people of both houses of the Legislature molecule was drafted by so able a constitutional lawyer as Lulu Root former Secretary of State. It is phrased as follows:
If the Republicans in the New York Legislature can summon up sufficient courage to come to a decision on the subject it looks as if the voters of the State will have an opportunity to express their sentiments at the ballot box as to whether prohibition enforcement should be modified or not. The amended form of the referendum to be submitted to the people of both houses of the Legislature or decide was drafted by so able a constitutional lawyer as Lulu Root former Secretary of State. It is phrased as follows:
Should the legislature of the United States modify the Federal act to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment at the Constitution of the United States so that the same shall not prohibit the manufacture, sale, transportation or exportation of beverages which are not in fact intoxicating as determined in accordance with the laws of the respective States.
This is an appeal to State Rights, which would allow every State to define intoxicating-beverages according to its own laws.
If a State desired to retain the hall of one per cent alcoholic limb of the Volstead act it could do so. If it chose to make the percentage of alcohol greater and yet not intoxicating, it could do that also.
Of course, this State referendum would not change the present Federal law, but it would suggest to the various congressmen, the advantage of getting at the true sentiments of the voters in the several States and modifying the Volstead act in accordance with the views of the home people.
WHEN A BLUNDER IS A CRIME.
The Republican majority, in the New York Legislature has honestly earned a reputation for political blundering. While this may not seem to be a deadly defect, it is well to remember that there are some political blunders which in their consequence might readily be classed as a crime. A blunder of this kind was committed when the Senate Judiciary committee killed the Grenthal bill. This measure, which was filled in almost the same manner last year and precipitated the charge that the chairman of the New York county committee was responsible for its defeat, was an effort to secure the enforcement of the tenement house laws.
These laws relate to the health and comfort of tenants and the Grenthal bill would have served as a protection to many residents of apartment houses in Harlem, and other parts of New York City. Although the tenement house department may inspect all buildings occupied by a number of tenants and make inspections and order necessary repairs, if the owner or agent fails to comply with its notices, it has no means of compelling the work to be done. The Grenthal bill provided that in such cases the tenant might deposit his rent in court until the department's orders were carried out. In other words, if the owner did not make the departments safe for occupancy, the tenant need not pay him the rent but place it with the court.
This bill had the approval of the Republican organization and the party was ledged to support it in good faith. The Senate Judiciary committee has twice defeated the measure, although it has the party endorsement as necessary legislation. The committee has failed to suggest any substitute measure to protect the tenants, which leaves the inference to be drawn that it would rather favor the owner and leave the tenants unprotected.
In view of the fact that a State election is to take place this fall, with a Governor, United States Senator and members of the legislature to be chosen, this ignoring of the needs of thousands of voters in this city, is deliberately inviting defeat for the party candidates. What is the matter with the State Chairman and the other leaders of the party, who permit such heedless blundering to be repeated?

SOUTHERN STATESMANSHIP
For a long time it has been a tradition sedulously cultivated by writers of Southern leanings, that all the romance and chivalry and statesmanship of the country were exclusively products of that section. Beginning with the time of Washington and Jefferson, when Virginia was truly the Mother of Presidents, the South has boasted of its breed of statesmen of which John C. Calhoun of South Carolina and John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky were the bright particular stars as the saving quality of parliamentary government in America
For a long time it has been a tradition medulously cultivated by writers of Southern leanings, that all the romance and chivalry and statesmanship of the country were exclusively products of that section. Beginning with the time of Washington and Jefferson, when Virginia was truly the Mother of Presidents, the South has boasted of its breed of statesmen of which John C. Calhoun of South Carolina and John C. Brecknidge of Kentucky were the bright particular stars as the saving quality of parliamentary government in America.
Not so much emphasis had been laid on the peculiar kind of statesmanship exhibited by Preston S. Brooks of South Carolina, when he made his cowardly assault upon Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber, beating him over the head with a heavy cane and inflicting injuries which helped to end the days of the great advocate of emancipation. Nor are such Representatives as Hefflin of Alabama and Blanton of Texas hailed as the apt exponents of the present statesmanship of the South. Nevertheless, they come nearer the actual facts than the traditional figure presented by such writers as Irwin Cobb and the late Thomas Nelson Page.
A little incident in the House of Representatives last week, in which a well known congressman from New York figured as a participant showed the predominating qualities of Southern statesmanship as exhibited in the halls of Congress. We reproduce the account of the affair given in the New York World, a staunch Democratic newspaper.

We reproduce the account of the affair given in the New York World, a staunch Democratic newspaper.
Washington, April 1, 1840, old fashioned first night was here's averted in the House today when Representative Rankin (D, Miss.) called Representative Barkin (D, Miss.) called Rep Representa (R, N.) a "dirty contemp thickened." Swinging his arms in a menacing manner, with fists tight, doubled, Mr. Rankin shouted to Mr. Mills who was urging him to withdraw his point of noorum "Get over on your own side of the House You can't insult me."
Then he used the epithet which caused Mr. Mills to turn white with rage. After giving vent to his feelings in strong words, Mr. Rankin stepped toward Mr. Mills in a most threatening manner but just when it looked as if he was ready to make a mighty swing at the New Yorker with his right fist several members grabbed him and pulled him away
The distinguishing qualities of Southern
statesmanhip today as in 1856, appear to be the ready resort to physical violence to settle any difference of opinion and the appeal to distinctions of color in clinching an argument. The account went on to state that Mr. Rankin said he had started to call Mr. Mills a vill epithet but recanted and declared: "I would not call any white man what I had in mind." Vituperation and violence are the stock in trade of the Southern statesman, it would appear, according to his own confession. This is the result of the demagogical practice of Negro-baiting and denunciation of a downtrodden race which constitutes the program upon which any appeal for votes is made to Southern constituencies.
It is a matter of record that most Southern congressmen who are uncertain as to their tenure of office, introduce a bill of two intended to curtail the right of the Negroes, in order to establish for themselves a reputation for safety and conservatism on the only issue that the South can entertain. This is why we see bills introduced every session to provide Jim Crow cars in the District of Columbia, or to prohibit the intermarriage of whites and blacks, or why a South Carolina representative has to raise a point of order against an appropriation for Howard University. The South is obsessed with the necessity for keeping the Negro down in the mud, even if it has to wallow there with him.
Representative Mills is to be congratulated that he escaped from his encounter with Southern statemanship with only the mud of vituperative epithets upon his garments.
A BLOW TO CHRISTIANITY
The convening in Birmingham, Ala., this month of some six thousand delegates in a religious convention has caused much controversy over the practice of racial segregation as an accompaniment of religious work. The program of segregation outlined by the local authorities was not acceptable to the Negro bodies of this country who were entitled to be represented and they refused to attend or send delegates. The convention is to be held in the City Auditorium, and the city commission of Birmingham passed an ordinance regulating its use by providing for separate sections for the accommodation of the white and Negro races.

The protests against this racial discrimination in a purely religious international gathering to which races of all colors and from various foreign countries were expected, as well as American Negroes, have not been confined to the latter race. Many white Americans have protested against the color line in religious work in most vigorous terms. The Age has received from the associate secretary of the American Missionary Association, an organization noted for the great educational work it has accomplished in the South, copies of two letters sent to the executives responsible for the Birmingham convention. In his letter Dr. Leiper said: "We would be glad to have our Negro friends know that this Association does not propose to remain silent while works of hypocrisy are carried on in the name of Religious Education."
The first letter was addressed to Dr. Robert M. Hopkins of Chicago and was signed by Henry Smith Leiper aand Fred L. Brownlee, as secretaries. It read:

We are informed that the coming meeting of the Interdenominational Sunday School Union is to be held in Birmingham, Alabama, and that the un-Christian and un-American custom of segregation is to be allowed to dominate to the exclusion of the brotherly Christ.
We wonder if you realize what a blow to the cause of Christianity that holding of that convention will be. For evidence in Missionary work abroad, as well as from a somewhat extended contact with home missionary work, we know that the discrimination made in that meeting against one branch of the Christian Church—and one group of the human family—will be noted with disapproval in every land where keen eyes are watching America for just such manifestations of heaten case prejudice.
We use that strong phrase purposely as it is the kind of phrase many of your own white delegates will find it convenient to employ with reference to certain Oriental customs which they view with disapproval.
We sincerely trust that you will exert your self in desperate earnestness to prevent this act of discourtesy and rare prejudice. It may be that you do not fully realize the implications of what is now contemplated.

I have just written a letter signed pointly by Secretary Brownlee and myself addressed to Doctor Hoplina, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the International Council of Religious Education, with regard to veiled aggression of Negroes at the Birmingham meeting.
So deeply do I read the effect that I know the carrying out of your present plans will have on the minds of the non-white people in this country and abroad that I feel I must write this additional word to you as one having definite relationship to the Conference plans.
My grandfather was a slaveholder. I have lived in three states in the South. I am fully aware of the difficulties which you face, but I have also lived in the Orient as a missionary and I have been called upon to travel widely in the United States for the last three years, both North and South. Without any desire to appear boastful, I think that I can say that I know something of the delicacy and danger of race rejection in fairly between the white and Negro American. If the plans to segregate Negro delegates are carried through, I cannot conceive of how any good that may come out of the Conference can possibly offset the evil effects of that un-Christian

policy. We are now in Easter week, commemorating the supreme sacrifice of the founder of Christianity. He went to the church rather than commemorate it. Criticize the question whether an organization promoting to stand for the advancement of his 'religion' in our modern world can justify itself for the adoption of a denomitively unChristian or simply because the rejection of it is simply because the sacrifice of inconvenient and inconsequent people. As a member of the Executive Committee of the Missionary Education Movement, as a Secretary, of the American Missionary Association, as an expatriation and former Assistant Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, as a member of the Congregational Church, and as a Southern White American, I appeal to you to face this situation for what it actually jar.
We are glad to be able to print such strong protests dictated by a white man of Southern antecedents against the un-Christian and un-American policy to be carried out.

In his letter to The Age, Dr. Leiper stated that copies of the two letters printed above had been widely circulated among prominent leaders of various religious bodies which will be taking part in this conventipn.

Styling the New Jersey civil rights bill passed in 1924 a joke, the Red Bank Echo approved a revised bill introduced by Assemblyman Bruno of Long Branch and urged its support. The Echo said:
The object of this bill is to so amend the "Civil Rights" act as to permit the aggrieved party, in any case of unlawful discrimination against a citizen because of rabble or creed, to recover damages from the offending person or persons.
It has been a subject of complaint that the Legislative remedy for denial of civil rights has been so far ineffective in New Jersey. Any attempt to pot teeth in the law should be welcomed.
Discussing the subject of popularity, the erudite editor of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder expressed the following sentiments:
"But I am not popular. The people won't follow me." That was the excuse for a big braided, wide-visioned, man, gray hair, not taking the lead in a movement for the benefit of his people. "And then I already have all I can do." All men, almost all men, to be more accurate, enjoy popularity and most of them seek it. Many seek nothing but popularity. It is often to a man's credit that he is not popular. The world owes its progress not to popular men, but to thoughtful men, courageous men, big-brained, big hearted and large vision. The popular, men have contributed but little of worth
Says Dr. Dudley Secured Appropriation For A. & T.
Editor, New York Age Your article in last week's issue, entitled "$20,000 Dairy Barn to be Erected at A and T College, Greenboro, N.C. has been the source of unfavorable comment by many friends of the late Dr Jas B Dudley Those of us who knew Dr Dudley elofts to secure an appropriation of a dairy barn, were a bit encouraged to read this bit of encouragement was changed to utter disgust. It is an outright reason for he achievements of the late Dr Dudley to claim that the addition of $6,000 worth of equipment to the shops and the proposal to build a $20,000 dairy barn is a "spectacular growth" and "an unparalleled enlargement" in the industrial opportunities at A and T College
Out of appreciation for the achievements of the dead, let us only recall that during the last four years of his administration, Dr Dudley secured appropriations to erect a modern auto mechanic building, agricultural building, power plant, laundry dormitory and dining hall with equipment for same and also equipment for the machine shops. These buildings and equipment are unequalled in the South and aggregate a sum of over $500,000 (five hundred thousand) In addition to this permanent improvement program, he also more than doubled the annual appropriation from the state for maintenance
Then, it is not a reflection to claim that the addition of $6,000 (say thousand dollars) worth of equipment and the proposal to build a $20,000-dollar mark a "spectacular growth" and an "unparalleled enlargement" at the college. This becomes even more disgusting when it is known that even this $26,000, of which the present president boasts, is also the achievement of the late Dr Dudley. The appropriation was even made before his death. He asked for $15,000 for a dairy barn and for a much larger amount for a library building and further equipment. He also asked for a substantial increase the maintenance fund for his years 1925-26 and 1928-27 and the money by which the heath cut made in his budget for the two years mentioned above by the last Legislature, and the efforts he put forth to prevent this cut, hastened his death.
Sir, in justice to the achievements of this man, who is now numbered among the noble dead and who has been for gotten altogether too soon, please give space in your valuable column to the facts mentioned above.

an opportunity to move effectively for some change, but he feared that protest was all that was possible now. No representative of the American Missionary Association will attend.
[The Birmingham Reporter, referring to the coming of this convention several weeks ago, and defining the attitude of the Negroes of that city, said:]
Our attendance is certain to place on us the responsibility for any embarrassment that comes to any one on account of it; therefore, our choice to stay away is the least evil of the many involved in the matter. The Methodist denominations, both local and general, and the Baptist also have spoken finally and unmistakably and the matter ends much to the regret of others and to our discomfort.
The local and religious atmosphere of Birmingham has not quite reached the state of purity in which meetings can function freely without a nasty aftermath. This is never desirable at any honorable price, and to prevent it by honorable and reasonable means is a duty that we owe our city as well as ourselves.
When Dr. Leiper characterized the whole proceeding as "works of hypocrisy carried on in the name of Religious Education," he hit the nail on the head. Too much professed Christianity and religious practice is tainted with that same hypocrisy.

"By decree of the Chancery Court of the City of Richmond, entered on the twenty-third day of February, 1926, in the suit of State Corporation Commission of Virginia vs. Mechanies Savings Bank, Richmond, Virginia, the unqualified receiver of the bank, received the dividend of forty per centum to all creditors whose claims amount to $2.00 and over; and a like dividend to creditors whose claims are less than $2.00 upon written request or personal application to the receivers.
"In accordance with said decree, we herewith hand you your check for your proportionate part. Your endorsement of the check will be a sufficient receipt." Simultaneous with this action, it is stated that the receivers have transferred DERS' FORUM
Commends Age Editorial
Editor of The New York Age
Sir, allow me to congratulate you for your masterly editorial on the "Segregation in South Africa". I am indeed proud to know that at least the race has a man, a thinker, who thinks sight and understands the art of expression in dealing with the technical affairs of his race. My regret is that we haven't many like you—so cool, so diplomatically firm and so keen to grasp the significance of the exploiters movements.
A committee should be organized and be known as the Committee of Important Information on affairs of the race under your leadership. When such important news is received by you it should be gotten into proper shape and broadened through the press of the country. That would be an important service to the race. For no longer can we sit mutely by and let the European plunderers play the same trick on our brothers in our motherland as they played here.
I trust that in case the evil measure such as Herrzog contemplates, be comes operative in South Africa, our mixed brothers who have been made so by conditions over which black women have had no control, will throw their lot in on the native side because they are our blood and flesh
White and Negro Convicts
(From the Montgomery Advertiser)
Picking up Charles H Greer's Sylacauga News in quest of something interesting to quote or comment on we were not disappointed. We found this
Time was, and not very long ago when there were very few white men in const camps, now the Negroes are degreed and almost as numerous. Are our Negroes getting better or our white folks worse?
Assuming that the News' premises are correct, we suggest this as the explanation Juries are faireer than they use to be. They are more disposed to chop away and let the chips fall where they may. It makes a good deal less indifference to them whether the person on trial is white or black. They will fail to convict given people who are convinced believed to be guilty, but the person who escapes at the hands of a jury is quite as likely to be black as white. The white man has fewer special privileges in the courtroom today than at any time since Appomattox
in the Mechanics Bank Building Corporation, certain pieces of the bank and Mr. Mitchell's firm forming predecessor of the district bank. Included in this transaction was the bank, building and store building houses.
This will be cheering to the success of the bank, who retained control of the integrity of the former head of the inscription.
I'll answer to the question "What is the outstanding need among former Baltimore, the Baltimore American noted some revised replies."
"Outstanding leadership, a hopeful representation on municipal boards, a wider leisure time program. There are the surface needs. If a leap is made he can get medical care. If a education he craves, the tastes are as hard. There are churches to serve his religious needs and recreational activities for his leisure time. The outstanding used is a fairer industrial portunity.
With a wider industrial force an consequent higher wages the zero will provide for himself and his children a better home a cleaner environment and wholesome food better education and recreation. Give him a more secure economic position and the list of taxed benefits by the Y. M. C A accountant and the Interracial Commission will need be small.
The same thing might be used of most any community, where the New York is a considerable factor. Greater industrial opportunity should be emphasized as the present and pressing end of the race.
In its news columns on the new par-
tition Das Moines Bystander chose the
award of a big contract to a real represen-
t. It said:
Ardith A. Alexander, graduate of the
civil engineer department of the Uni-
versity of Iowa, was awarded a certi-
nate for a $23,000 job by his alma mama
Monday, March 15. The building will
be the first unit of the University of
Iowa $200,000 heating and power plant.
Mr. Alexander is one of the ten
Negroes who has achieved such outstanding
success in a new field. He has
graduation in 1912 and has perennially
nearly $5,000,000 worth of work,
ranging in variety from small
pavement contracts to the building of
concrete bridges, heating plants and
tunnels.
The following comment in the Oherer's column of the same paper presents: "The success of Archie Alexander in competitive bidding on the heating plant of the University of Iowa, whom is the others bidders were white blood for all time put a stop to the companies who say Negroes can't do anything. There are two very reasonable conditions to be drawn from this experience. One is, I am glad to repeat that Iowa white man is fundamentally the other is that if a Negro can form the goods, Iowa is the place he have an opportunity to demonstrate in.

He proves this by His spiritual resurrection and presence continuous in the world of humanity.
At 2 p. m., the Sunday school was largely attended. In the evening, Mr. Fred I. Eldridge, state secretary of the M. X. C. A., spoke to the many assembled. He spoke from this passage of scripture. Though I speak with tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, and become as sounding brass with them, I become as sounding brass with them, I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profite me nothing. Charity sufferer long, and is kind; charity enliveth not, charity vampire not; charity dehumanizes; behave itself unseemingly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked thinketh no evil; Rejoiceeth not in the enquiry, but rejoiceeth in the truth. Behare all things, believeth all things, hopeh all things, endureth all things. I Cor. 13:1-7
Salem M. E. Church
On Friday evening, April 2, in the lecture room of the Salem M. E. Church was held one of the most impressive candle light services that has been witnessed in years. The lecture room was crowded to overflowing capacity with standing room at a premium and one of the most impressive lights was the bearer of the lighted candles by the lady unners. Rev. J. A. Vance spoke very eloquently upon the subject of light, and the tenor solo rendered by William Howell followed by a soprano solo rendered by Mrs Martha Harper added much to the attraction and spirit of the evening. God dwelling within their midst and the quotations on light gave vivid inspiration to all souls present.
It is needless to say that G. W. Allen, former president of Salem Lycum, and who had charge of this affair, had always been known to hit the goal of success. We feel that a high tribute should be paid such a stamina church leader who always went to church and the unifying of mankind and trust all his future efforts in rendering services to God and man will be crowned with success.
Mother A. M. E. Zion Church
The first Easter festival in the New Mother Zion Church was fittingly celebrated by an audience of 3,000 on last Sunday. Overflow services were held in the lecture room at the junior church services. In spite of this hundreds were turned away. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and sweet wabbling canary birds joined with the choir in singing the glorious songs of the Risen Christ. The pastor presided upon the subject. The pastor insulted "for what I delivered unto you first of all that I have received, how that Christ I do received, how that Christ I do for our sins according to the Scriptures. And that he was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures."—I Cor. 15.1.4 The speakr said in part
"Among the most famous shrines of the world where millions have made and are making their pilgrimages, are to the tombs of the dead. Yonder on the banks of the Potomac we have the monument of our first president, the States. On the banks of the Hudson we have the tomb of General U. In Rome we have the Catacoms and the tombs of her great cathedrals. In London we have Westminster Abbey, with its honored dead kings, queens, statesmen, and warriors, and painters, scientists and discoverers. In Trafalgar Square, he monument of Lord Nelson and Essex, in Paris the tomb of Emperor, other tombs in Egypt, India, China, Japan, South America, Mexico, but it cannot be the occupant of either of the tombs "He is not here. He is as he said." The only empty tomb in all the world is that of Joseph where Jesus was laid. "He is not here."
"Not here! But in every cline, in every some the dead are there in tombs and on the flow of he sea, unchanging tenants of their narrow houses. In Nara Tombs, the fine dust of myth cloud emperors the gods of old Japan. In Cryon, Buddha's heart wastes, I jeweled urn. By the Nile, tombs, it embalmed modues of the mighty Pharoahs Above Cuzco, the sun worshipers of Mexico rest their mountain tops as the centuries come and go. The dead are all there Only in Joseph's garden an emperor tomb and an angel saying, "Not here!"
"The ancient Jews believed in a resurrection. They prayed for their dead. Many pagan religions taught their adherents to look forward to a future life. The Egyptians looked forward to it, and preserved their dead's bodies in the Sarcophage, and mummy clothes, that their might return to them.
While men believed in life beyond, they did not know its true state and duration. The Grecian philosophers were not clear upon the resurrected body, nor they believed in the immortality of the soul. They believed in the creation of life, that the same durum of time pleasures and enjoyments would continue in the same way. Thus, an Indian wanted his imprints buried with him, and his asked killed upon his grave, as he was going to a Happy hunting ground. He would continue what they did here Man, not only to give but have immortal-
Men believed in immortality before Christ came. Plato wrote his wonderful Phuedo without any knowledge of Christianity. But the Christian doctrine of immortality is entirely a different thing. It means the Resurrection of body. They were not clear until Christ came into the world. He brought them into light, removed the darkness. Some doubted then some now.

WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
Easter Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of the month. It is also known as the Easter Sunday. The most significant and sacred occasion of this divinity is the hope and immortality has borne brightly in the souls of men everywhere and in all ages. It is the feast of Jesus in Christianity. It is the feast that Christ is in Christianity. Easter is not only the most proof of the Divine origin of the gospel, and the greatest evidence of the life of man after death, but it gives substance, validity and distinction to all of the Christian doctrines. It is the very heart and center of the Gospel message. Christianity would differ very little from the religious relations of the East and the new Cross and without the face the face the Cross and means more than Christmas. There are many birthdays, but only one Resurrection Day.
"We have not come to a funeral this morning. We are not marrying behind a hearse, but behind a charlot. Our program is not "Bade to Christ" but "Gut to Christ." The Church is not a widow, but a bride. She is married to Jesus. "The Church is His Body," She is to live the Christ life; possess the Christ spirit; and manifest the same in her affection of human life and service." Theurnum prince persons came forward and joined the church. Two infants were baptised at this service.
Prof. Nelson Williams was the preacher to the Junior Church congregation at 10:30 a.m. Baptism and Holy Communion were administered at this service. Sunday School convened at 2:30 p.m. Easter programs were rendered by the members of the Sunday school choir, in each department. The Easter Rally proved a success. At 4 p.m. J.C.

Union Baptist Church
Our Lenten service were well attended during the past week. Our Pastor, Dr. G. H. Sims, preached each evening.
Sunday morning we had a record-breaking attendance. The choir was well prepared with suitable selections for the occasion. All the ushers were out in full regalia. The emptiness unstained skill, and the light illuminated in the room. Flowers were in ablumination. The atmosphere was filled with the spirit of the resurrection. Among the pastor's multip guests were the following divines. J. D. Bolden, D J Cox Warsaw, Vaz J. Berry, New York; J. Robisonf, New York, E. Harris, Riverhead L. I.; Lucentuates E. Redrick, R. Higgerson were in charge of the preliminaries. The subject of the pastor's message was "Christ and The Resurrection" He outlined and discussed the circumstances of Jesus the crucifixion and the trial of Jesus. After having death to the wonderful mes-sion and the grave were looked upon as an assurance of life beyond for those who die in Christ.
The Sunday school had an excellent program. After the lesson was reviewed by superintendent Johnson, Ira Brooks and Mrs. Friferson opened the Easter exercises. Everyone enjoyed listening on the children. The H. L. L. detected a cantata entitled "The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Christ." It was directed by Mrs. Reed. This was indeed a wonderful production.

St Paul Baptist Church
Since the revival meetings closed Friday night, March 26th, and was followed on Sunday, March 28th, with the first quarterly rally, the activities of the Church took their normal course through the past week. An interesting meeting on Wednesday night was followed on Friday, the regular prayer meeting, conducted by deacon H. Williams and after B. L. Brown.
Deacon Williams, who is a licensed preacher, gave an inspiring talk on the significance of Good Friday:
Sunday morning Deacon J. A. Daughtry had out an unusually large number of the surrize prayer service. A Booker, gave splendid Easter music, which was greatly enjoyed by the very large audience that filled the place.
The pastor preached at 11 o'clock on "Credibility of The Resurrection," and in the evening on "The Relation of the Ascension of Christ to His Second Coming."
The offering for the day was very good, guided additional requests the rally. The deacons took a small offering for the pastor, for which he and family are very thankful.
Everything is now getting ready for the coming ten nights revival meetings which begin Monday night, April the 12th.
Rendall Memorial Church
On last Sunday morning a large and attentive audience listened to the pastor in his eloquent delivery of "The Easter Message." The theme of the sermon was taken from the latter part of 1 Corinthians, 15-54 "Death is Swallowed up in Victory." Those who heard this Easter message will ever remember the forceful truth brought home by the vivid word pictures drawn by the worldly handie-piece side of the cross, the side of darkness and misery and suffering who through his crucifixion, like Christ, can come on on the other side of the cross to the life that is full and whole and beautiful for like Christ we must die to live.
The Rev W R Lawton, former pastor of Rendall worshipped with us and took part in the service.
The choir rendered appropriate Easter music at both services. A beautiful tenor solo was rendered by Mr. Osborne a new member of the choir; duet by Mesdame Gollymor and Gover; bass by Hollie H. In the evening, Mrs. B Phillips rendered a solo and the quartette of the Imperial Lodge of Elks reordered two, selectors.
Robert E. King united with the Church and was publicly received at the morning service. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan was christened also. The death of J. E. Young was announced, Mr. Young having been a member of Rendall. Funeral services were held Tuesday evening April 6. The Japanese lecture by Sumio Usuge will take place April 16, under auspices of the Art Circle, Mrs. R Manoney president.
Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church
At the Harlem Second Church 106-108 West 127 street, pastor Strachan, last Saturday morning in his sermon, read what he said modern bible scholars had discovered to be Pilate's death sentence commenced upon Jesus Christ. If genuine, the pastor, this document is perhaps the most memorable document on the morning theme, was Calvary and the crucifix. Sunday night, pastor Strachan chose for his discussion, The Law and Grace of Christ. The speaker began his course by saying 'Who is it that is under the law and who is it that is under grace, and what can be meant by these expressions?' These expressions appear in the following sermon, Rom 14: 13, 19, It is 9: 20, 21, 4: 4, 5, 21,
"Many teachers interpret the expressions 'under law and under grace,' to refer to two distinct classes of people. The first they say applies to the despair of Seventh Day Adventists, who try to keep the commandments and who expect to be punished. The second who believe that being denominalists who believe that they are under obligation what ever to obey the ancient precepts and won't be punished to break them. No enlightenible scholar could draw such an interpretation from the original Greek of the text. On the contrary, every inhabited mind that the original reason for the Greek's seventh lawmate relationship existstems even human being and an existing moral code.
The idealogue was designed to be a model independent, all embracing spiritual human legislation the basis for a subsequent human legislation its chief purpose was to express a permanent relationship exchanging between God and man, and maintaining them in harmony at all times. While we have a clear note of distinction between the temporary and local legislation of the laws, and the broader permanent superior spiritual code, it certainly betrays only limited understanding of the scriptures or else his significance to say that the common commands are only like the Adventists to the other larger body of religion who are free from all prohibition in the matter of murder and sealing meeks because they are under grace. Let us study. Deine graue grace is the fundamental meek of God extended to every human being in this world. All it has been and are called as a breaker. Adventists at what not all it has been rebelous, and all this special consideration
Now the person who accepts Divine grace is not given a license to break the ten commandments ever after. liberate and deter transgression, receive and forgive, willful transgression are divorced from it. The penitent sinner alone fines it.
"Grace invites the penitent to come to
Thank. They come with fear and treason."
im remembering their sins. Therefore to the throach sinners' sins, we shall out to them. Betrothling the sinners, compassionate, unmerciful, trustworthy, forth, and take. The guilt and curse and compassionate take the罪. The misgrace. The grace lies them. Grace does not take away the law. It does not remove, or kill the law. It merely provides for them. It escapes from the condemnation curse and penalty of the law. Christian, man, suffer the penalty, and the sinner go no longer. Grace now teaches the sinner to live soverely and rightly in this evil world. By the help of, God the sinner keeps the law. Grace enabled him to meet the requirements of the law.
"Pardonning grace is extended to men who have done wrong. This very fact proves that the law is binding. If the man in error how could men be regarded as transgressors, fault says, where there is no law, there is no transgression.
"Grace does not abolish the law, it merely removes the curse of the law, the condemnation of the law. Removing the penalty of the law from us and causing Christ to suffer that penalty must not be counted as removing the law. The law exists and is in force just the same, whether the sinner suffers the penalty or Christ suffers the penalty. The moral Governor of this universe did not make a law and then abolish it on account of his grace. If grace could repeal the law, Christ need no have died."
"Who are under the law? under the curse of the law? I answer, all men who as yet, know not pardoning grace Who are under grace? I answer again, they only who the true, the worthy and the obedient servants of the Lord. These alone can know and enjoy the blessed Divine favor."

Easter was observed with all the significance and meaning of The Risen Lord throughout the entire services of the day at Sioam.

ALMER SMITH, motion picture editor of The Evening World, recently asked the question: "Why is there no comedy unit of Negro players in the movies?" The query was answered by Lester A. Walton of The World, and published by Mr. Smith in The Evening World, who characterized the following as "a carefully considered statement":
"In the first place there exists among white Americans a tendency moderate the Negro and things Negroid. Because of this national characterizable if a proposition were submitted to officials of the celluloid industry pointing out the practicability and timeliness of producing Negro comedies for the screen they could not see it. But just let some one with vision, initiative, moral courage and faith in the Negro successfully put over a Negro comedy and there will be a deluge of imitations.
"A few years ago a company was formed in New York to make Negro comedies. Harlem colored actors were sent South on a location selected for 'atmosphere'. It soon dawned on the promoters that the scenario did not amount to much and unless some real humor was injected they would have a tragedy rather than a comedy on their hands. One of the producers suggested that chicken, watermelon, razor and gin, at one time regarded as indispensable 'props' to Negro fun-making, be utilized. This was done, but the comedy turned out to be a sad affair both artistically and financially. The promoters, in their lamentations, heralded the information that there was no money in Negro comedies. Nobody could convince them that they had erred in not having an acceptable scenario.
"The public no longer laughs at a Negro either on the stage or the screen carrying a chicken or watermelon, drinking gin, industriously wielding a razor or shooting craps. Bert Williams and Miller and Lyles may be mentioned as notable exponents of real Negro humor.
"Those with scenarios for good Negro comedies have no contacts with those in a position to advantageously exploit them. There is a disposition to launch Negro entertainment on a comparatively cheap scale and expect unusual results. Negro atmosphere does not call for elaborate settings and costumes, set in these days of highly developed technical stage direction the public demands more than a gathering of colored folk and the collection of a few stage 'props'."
"Negro comedies furnish a virgin field for movie exploitation, but a combination of money and brains is necessary. If big results are to be realized the promoters cannot be in the pikey class, and the writers of the scenario must know the difference between comedy and burlesque. "Not only is there a ready market for clean, intelligently staged Negro comedies in the leading motion picture theatres throughout the country, but they would be available to the hundreds of movies North, East, South and West catering wholly to a Negro clientele."
Capacity Audience Welcomes Florence Mills To Harlem

I always enjoy the popularity among their own people as does Florence Mills. On Monday night, April 5 she was given a most enthusiastic welcome by her friends in Harlem when she took show. Black Bird of 1920 joined for a limited engagement at the Alhambra Theatre 120th street and Second Avenue. Every seat in the theatre was taken and standing room was at a premium.
11. 12.
This theatre, where once the management sought to bar or segregate the colored patrons has undergone a great transformation. It was an abode of all-colored house on Monday night. The new management has seen that colored patrons get as all the same treatment (as to seats) as any other person—but about the show.
Black Kid's of 1926 is the same type of happy reunion as the other that Mill has appeared in prior. Leah's management team in Southbury, lately flanked by a beauty choir that equal air on Broadway. But the show different in that Miss Mill likes more songs than she used to. Although she is a versatile actress, she exploits a singer and from the presses of those in the audience the show would have been just a entertaining or perhaps more had Miss Mill continued singing for the hours. She can get into the audience and personalize her presence in any other time. But the issue was not all Ihren Mill: Edith Wilson, Leonard Haines, Jones and Jones, Johnny Nat Billy Mill, Vita Smith and Bessie Allison, among the other principal

The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity basketball team completely upset the dope-and at the same time they proved the adage "Practice makes perfect" when they beat the Omega Pai Phi Fraternity team at the Renaissance Casino Monday afternoon, April 5. This was the third meeting of the teams with the Omegas two games to the good, when the Alpha team showed them defeat.
The preliminary game brought together two fast teams and pas a good one in spite of the fact that it soon became one-sided. It brought together the Y. M. D. team of the West 135th Street Branch. Y. M. C. A. and the Acme A. C. team of Abbyssinia Baptist Church. The Y. M. D. promptly proceeded to run away with their opponents. Both teams played fast, but the Acmes, although they had plenty of chances to score, did not seem to have their eyes on the basket. The preliminary game stars were Seay and Gregory of the Y. M. D., and Steele and Otley for the Acmes.
After the preliminary game there was dancing, with music furnished by Fletcher Henderson and his Original Rainbow Orchestra.
Alpha Surprised Fana
The main game started off with Omega drawing first blood from a toul shot. Scoring by both teams came mostly from fouls. Score at the end of the first half was Alpha 12, Omega 9. This was a surprise to most of the fans for never had Alpha scored more points than Omega in any of the games that had been played. The second half started off with a rails to Omega which soon brought them to 11 just one point behind their opponents. This was soon stopped however when Alpha started to spurt ahead due to the scoring of sensational shots made by Hands and Pollitt. With the score 20 to 12 in their favor Alpha started to tie the ball up and by what is known as "freezing" when presented any further scoring. Sessions tried to break away and when the referee "Dutch" Huiswood, called the ball for a jump instead of outside, he threw the ball hitting the referee in the head. For this showing of his displeasure of the ruling, Sessions was ruled off the floor and was not allowed to continue in the game. Hastings Thompkins came in and "Stretch Grant played center."
When the whistle blew announcing the end of the game, all the Alpha men ran to the floor, joined hands forming a large ring and sang the fraternity songs. After the game dancing was enjoyed by all present until 7 o'clock with the music by Fletcher Henderson (Original Rainbow (Orchestra). The line ups follow.

The return of the prodigal, after his weeks of dissipation in the city with Ernest Torrence and Greta Nilsen, brought clearly to mind the exact significance of Christ's words when He told the parable to the Publishers and Sinners.
"I have read the story of the prodigal son many times," said one clergyman who viewed the scene, "but never before has the real pathos and dramatic force of this particular incident struck home. Roald Walsh has found true inspiration in the parable."

Negro Actor Stars In "Kongo", New Broadway Play
Clarence Redd, perhaps one of the most versatile actors on the stage today has caused a sensation in the theatre by his delineation of "Fuzzy" which is one of the leading characters in "Hongo" the play of Africa which is now holding forth at the Baltimore Theatre. Mr. Redd's realistic interpretation of the role of "Fuzzy" brought loud gales of laughter and applause from the opening night audience. No less a personage than Brook P.berton meant it from the bottom of his heart.
Mr Redd is a most versatile person and he has a long list of successful characterizations to his credit among which are such roles as the "Black halion" in "Aphrodite," the butler in "Salvage" and the Moorish king in the "Miracle." The latter was by far the finest thing he ever did. Besides acting Mr Redd is an accomplished artist, singer, designer, and whatnot. He was born with an artistic soul and as he grew this genius matured with the years till today he could make a living at among of these arts. In the "Miracle" he did all the battle work, designed all of Lady Drama Mammers costumes all of Artists used in the Gold Scene and all the Oriental costumes. Not satisfied with all this Mr Redd secured the commission of paint
ing the scenery for the Red and Gold number of Junior League Show. Besides this he poses for the Rice studios and every now and then he acts in a cinema production;
He, started on his career fifteen years ago when Bert Williams brought him from Fort Scott, Kansas, where he was born and gave him a part in his "Smart Set" show. This proved to be the stepping stone to the career which Redd built up for himself by hard work. He went through some of the hardest schools of the game and several times he was stranded with companies which stopped. Undeterred however Redd kept right on and today he has finally fought his way to the top and his work stands on a par with such colored artists as Charles Gilpin and Paul Robeson. He has a beautifulful voice which lends itself readily to the singing of the ever popular Negro Spirituals. Some day he hopes to make his debut on the concert platform. He sings spirituals over the radio quite frequently and has built up a following among the radio audience.
Lincoln Gts. Out Hit Camden and Win, 9-7
Mid-season form with the stick gave the Lincoln Giants a 9-7 victory over the strong Camden, N J team at Protector's Qalon on Easter Sunday afternoon. The game was witnessed by a good sized crowd and was featured by the batting of Scott, outfielder, who hit the season's first home run, the pitching and batting of Roy Roberts, who held the visitors to three hits in eight innings and drove in a run with a two bagger as his share of the victory, and by the all-round playing of Funky, who gave indications of having his best season. Satisfactory progress is being noted in the team under Lloyds management and it is expected that it will be practically rebuilt by the time the Eastern League season opens on May 9.
The first double header of the season will be played next Sunday afternoon when the Lincoln meet the Bronx Giants and the Bloomfield Hills. The first game will start at 1:30

Calvary M. E. Church
At 11 o'clock, the auditorium was nearly filled and the birds were singing sweetly as the choir while passing down the aisle sang "Christ the Lord is risen, Haileujah!" The cane sold at 6 o'clock in the morning was interesting, as well as beneficial to those who were able to attend it. The pastor, Rev. Dr. J. N. C. Coggin, was prompt in beginning, and the gallery was practically filled when services started.
The discourse began with a comparison of the "Universality of Christ," with the fact that men of all ages and of all races. The three members of their particular races, with few exceptions. While on the other hand, Christ's influence is becoming more and more widespread throughout all nations and races. Men have recently disputed the supernatural birth of Christ, but still agree on His crucifixion, death, and resurrection from the dead. At the end of the sermon, ten persons were taken into custody.
A beautiful solo, with violin obligato, was rendered by Mrs. Dixon for the operatory.

THE FORUM.
At 4 o'clock, Cognadier B. A. Johnson, the first colored Assemblyman from the 19th A. D. New York, addressed the formation Race. Unity. Mr. Johnson was ablated by J. A. M. Rebbonson, the numbers on the program were, respectively, Mr. Wm. Martin; sols, Mal Sahil; and Joseph Great Steel. The church school, the Bishops'hood, and The Christian Endeavor presented interesting programs.
The Choir gave their Easter Musical at the evening services. Too much praise cannot be given the members of the Choir for their rendition "Christ is Risen." "Gloria in Excelsis", etc. Mrs. E. R. Cantley was organist and director.
Rush Memorial Church
Easter Day, the day which we celebrate to mark the resurrection of our Saviour, was observed in this part of Zion with appropriate services. Beginning with the Junior - Church at 10 o'clock, a program of joy, mingled with an air of solemnity was carried out throughout the day. The young people listened attentively and earnestly as Dr. Oliver told them of the meaning of the day to the people, in general, and what it means to the individual. Holy Commission was taken in connection with this service.
In the main auditorium, the congregation came in at an early hour, and devoted themselves to the religious observation of the day. The Junior Choir, about thirty five in number assembled in the vestry and marched tri-processional "Christ The Lord is Risen Today" ringing angelically throughout the church. The Altar was beautifully decorated in white and green, and the fragrance of the flowers made the fragrance of the blooming joys place. The singing of the bird's chime with the sweet music of the young people seemed to thrill the very blooms of the waiting congregation, and when Dr. Oliver came upon the scene, all the hikits were ready to receive the wonderful message delivered by him on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ." Text, 1 Cor. 15. 14. Dr. Oliver said in part, "It is the thought of the modernist to rule out the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and yet retain the existence of God, but it is impossible to effect the one without effecting the other. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is fundamental, not ornamental in the plan of man's salvation. It is a positive proof that He died for our sins, and atone for our justification. If Christ is not good Bible, and we have no need Bible, and we have no mislead Christianity without the Resurrection of Christ is a pitiful affair. The followers of Mahamad, Buddha, Confucius, and all he other various so-called Gods, cannot boast of a Resurrection.
The proofs of the resurrection are positive. Various statements have been made, but the argument of Cause and Effect is perhaps the best factor on which to prove our claim. Some declared that after Jesus had been crucified and placed in the tomb, that his body was taken from the tomb, that accounts for His absence on the third day, when the tomb was entered. There could be no truth attached to such an assertion, when we consider that the Roman soldiers were on guard at the sepulchere to see that no one did take his body, and also if His friends had taken the remains of Christ they would not have removed the handages and left them the tomb. But the tomb was taken by Christ. Christ God had raised Him from the dead. Christ was the cause of the tomb's existence. And the result of Christ's being raised from the dead is the Christian Church. A proof of Christ's spirit is more clearly explained by its living in our hearts. The Christian Church is the outgrowth of a Christ like life. Christianity is experience, not a creed

It was the "Amor" of the Son "It is finished" Jesus the Redeemer of the World He is victor over death Hell and the Grave The celebration of the Holy Eucharist was observed at 3 o'clock Dr Oliver preached another beautiful sermon, subject "Our Victory Through Christ's Death" Isaiah 53 12 At 8 o'clock, the Senior Choir, under and Mr L M Matthews, Organist, offered the Easter Cantata "The New Life" by Jas H.

Salem M. E. Church
The beauty of the weather on Easter Sunday morning so adequately expressed the spirit of Easter that it was an easy-task for all observing the occasion to catch the suggestion from nature. The vast auditorium was filled long before the hour of commencement, and necessary hours of lecture, the lecture room where the worship was conducted by the Rev. Joseph Hill. Dr. Collen who for twenty-four years has been conducting Easter services at Salem Church was strangely moved by the scene of several thousand eager faces awaiting the Easter message. The older the world grows," he said "the more prominent is Easter becoming a religion waning or not going ahead, as it is so manifestly alive. If every Bible were burned and every church destroyed there would still be enough testimony written on the hearts of men and women everywhere to save the world." The various departments of the church all had special Easter programs they followed so closely upon each other. The continuous jubilation. Many of the members literally spent the entire day in church to be present at them all.
The Sunday school's program was a joint celebration in which the smallest joined with the oldest in adoration to the Risen King.
The Lycetum choral rendered the cantata the "Seven Last Words of Christ" at four o'clock. The choral is directed by Prof. Lorenza Oyer and two much older members. The soloist were Mrs. Sarah Saxon, and Messars. P. Haraway, J. Rowley, and C. Overton.
The climax of the day's celebration was reheated at full evening when the Senior Choir, under Prof. Rudolph Grant rendered "The Holy City," by Alfred Gaul. All other features of the service that could be were eliminated and the packed church listened for two hours to a splendid musical interment of Easter.
Higher altars paid to the ability of the director and the choir by the pastor and other church officials. In the audience were many notables of the music world.

Dr. Brown gives message of hope
In his Eater sermon from the theme
"Condemnation of the Peaple Challenge,
that was heralded as the
great human, hope."
Through Passion Week the church had been preparing for the great Easter event. At five o'clock, Sunday morning, one of the largest congregations was present that has wetted these early services. There seemed to have been a cherished hope with those that gathered early, as it was in the heartbeat of those early seekers over two thousand years ago, when they came seeking out the place where they had buried Him.
The Pastor spoke briefly but intensely on the occasion and the choir rendered several beautiful selections. So anxious were the people for the special Easter ermou that means much to the followers of Christ, many remained for the eleven o'clock, and long before the church was needed for the others to place chairs the aides of the church in order to give more accommodations.
Dr. Brown preached a wonderful Easter service and a wonderful congregation he heard him. There appeared to be a getting away from the old thought or custom of showing one a Easter pachase with little or no thought of the greatest in Bible history. The people came to worship and to worship a Jesus Lord that spirit permeated by "Risen Lord," that spirit permeated every heart and was the solace for allills.
In the midst of the great gathering and the food that was to be offered for hungry souls, the pastor took the occasion to thank the Floral Club under the direction of Mrs. Mattie Jones of the Association of Young Ladies. Uber Board under the direction of Miss Mina McLoughlin took their department in the serving of so large an audience and their personal appearance in dress. The young ladies were white satin with the Easter knickerbear and it was said of them that they had not had more rendered to the public.
The Junior and Senior departments of the Sunday school rendered the Easter program at 2 o'clock. The Children were heard by several hundred parents and friends and showed that the committee had been most competent and the staff of the Past Master's Council. No. 27, G U. O of O F. assembled in the memory of the fifty years of association, under the direction of Past

The Household of Smith was the other invited guest of the Order's. Dr. Brown spoke on "One of Those Revolutionary 'Knifes of Religion' Mrs. Ellen Milesley was the Sploit for the evening. The Earth program culminated Monday evening, when the Sunday school jars the captains, "The Knifes' words of Jesus' under the direction of Blessed Smith the choreat. A most blessing lesson these young people in this condition They merited the attention given them, for they had given much preparation to the study of their parts.
Miss Catherine Walker, the faithful school enjoys the respect and merits the praise of the church and school for her years of faithful service amid her work in the school of higher education.
A number of infants were baptised The Easter offering was commensurate with the occasion.
Newman Memorial Church
An unusually large congregation attended the Easter Service at Newman Memorial Church at 11 a.m. Sunday. The choral under the direction of Rev. J. H. Williams with Mr. M. Bascom Cummings at the organ, rendered an Easter Canata entitled The Day of Resurrection. Mrs. E. Weeks, Mrs. Anna Fairley and Mr. Wm. Telghman were the soloists
The music thrilling and inspiring was rendered by the choir in a manner that filled all present with the real spirit of the Rising Lord.
At the conclusion of the program, Rev. T. W. Cooper preached the Easter sermon taking his text from Rom. 1:4.
Five persons were received into the church as members and two children. The communion of the Lords' Supper was then administered to a large number of communicants.
At 8 o'clock the Sunday school had charge of the service under the direction of the Superintendent, Miss Rebecca Illiffill.
A splendid program of song and recitation was rendered by the children which concluded with a tableau representing the elevation of the Cross.
Rev. J. H. Williams in a short address commended the officers and teachers for the manner the children had been trained and concluded his remarks by a glowing tribute to the Lord. Rev. J. H. Williams received credit was due for the efficient manner the school had been conducted.
Rev. Cooper left on Tuesday for the conference at Chaer, Pa. The entire congregation voted for his return at the conclusion of the service Sunday night.
Bridge Street A. M. E. Church
The Passion Week services were brought to a glorious climax, Easter Sunday morning, when Bishop J. Albert Johnson, of the A. M. E. Church, delivered the Easter message to a state strong, that taxed the capacity of the church. The church mounted the congregation to a high pitch of religious fervor.
The text was first Cornthians, 15:20. Bishop Johnson, stressed the reality of Christ's resurrection, stating that this proved the necessity of our resurrection. He said among other things, "We must live with the rightness, we must live as Christ lived. When we attempt to gratify our lusts, desires and passions, we are but moral and spiritual slaves, and are not free. We should presuppose presumption and self-esteem. When we do this, through the influence of the spirit of Christ, then we are free.
After our conversion we must our gift grow things in order to live the life of Christ. In this we must pray as He did. Remembering that not our will but God's will, should be done. God gives us power, we prove power by his way. We should strive to overcome temptations, and remember that temptations are but tests for us. In speaking on the resurrection the bishop took occasion to mention certain intellectual groups that seek to discredit it, and other articles of faith, because they did not understand it. There is as much logic in believing the resurrection, as there is in believing life electricity or other phenomena, for all is controlled or other power and that power is God. Bishop Johnson concluded with the thought that wherever Christians go they are representatives of Christ and should so conduct themselves otherwise they

A measure of the increased program was the plush interior in which the choir rendered several songs of the young people, were exceptionally bold in the chorus work, and gave evidence of much effective training by Mrs. Adam Tyler, the directress, who has been able to have the organization well balanced in the four voices, also, soprano, tenor, and the following anthems were used. Glad Ada Lift - Lift up the Harvies, and "Up from the Hill Harvies." In the afternoon, the Sunday school presented its Easter program which was of a very high order. Mrs. E. P. Pollock, was chairman of the committee in charge of the program. Miss Mifiam Rivens was mistress of certimonies. The Young People's Society also had special services at the veaper hour. It was very largely attended. Oliver C Bascombe, the vice-president, was in charge, the evening hour the senior choir rendered a canata, entitled, "My Redeemer Lives." The singers rendered in a manner that showed that the organist-directress, Mrs. Lavinia Kerney Myers, had devoted much time in training them. A large congregation was present.
Dr. Tyler is so interested in the young people and is so desirous of them taking their places in the future church, that he will organize a junior church, which will start on the first Sunday in May.

Temper your desire for a "quick reduction with common sense. Reduce too rapidly is dangerous. Be satisfied with the loss of from a pound to a pound and a half a week. A reduction of twenty-five pounds should not be achieved in less than five or six months. To achieve this with the suggested diet and exercise you must apply well power and perseverance.
Special warning must be used here against patented and advertised drug reducers. Some of these are absolutely worthless others are actually dangerous. They contain powerful drugs, such as thyroid extract strychnin and the like. One ingenious quack and capsule which contained the eggs of tapeworms! The various reduction appliances which are put on the market and which are made up of binders and rubber garments are practically worthless as reducers. Despite the extravagant claims of their vendors. They neither massage the skin nor rub away fat nor accomplish any of the dozen and other things claimed for them. Clearly they are a nuisance not infrequently chafing the skin over which they are applied.

still harping on the case of cooperation in the embalming that the people of India should completely surrender to the government as a condition to an early appointment of a statutory commission to handle the embalming such arrangements in the future need for freedom.
The people of India have no faith in commissions and committees. They demand a round table. Conference held of the public leaders and the representatives of the government for the settlement of the terms of the freedom. For this the government of India has nothing to say. There is no place therefore for cooperation either responsive or otherwise, so long as the viceroy does not accede to the popular demand for a round table conference. The viceroy is aware of the fact that there would be a whirlwind campaign of non-cooperation whether within the councils or outside, in persuasion of the resolution of the last Indian national congress, held at Cawpure in December last, and that this would be carried with greater enthusiasm and energy than ever before. Therefore the attempt of Lord Reading, to win over India by high-sounding announcements are futile.
It is essential for India, that she should have her own navy, for her defense, manned and controlled by Indians. The proposed Indian Navy, which is linked with the scheme of the Tory Government of England for the Singapore base, will not be Indian, but predominantly dependent on the British Navy. Therefore there is no guarantee that it will not be used like the Indian Army as an instrument for the aggrandizement of the British Imperialism in India as well as outside.
And what about the cost of the so-called Indian Navy? The military expenses have not been reduced to that reasonable standard, as recommended by the Inchecape Committee (readers see why Indians have no faith in the Commissions and Committees), when the additional burden of the Indian Navy is sought to be imposed on India and this proposed Navy will entail a heavy charge on the Revenue of India.
The Government of India does not assure that the Navy would be Indianized from the beginning. Therefore, this would, like the army and the civil service, be the sacred preserves of the whites and yet in a blustering announcement the viceory dares to term this as an Indian Navy!
women had still another surprise awaiting them. Jesu appeared to them. He said, "Mary, touch me not, I am going to my Fathers, but go and tell My disciples that I have risen." These women walked as fast as their feet could carry them to tell the joyful news that Jesus had risen from the dead.
Many people join the church and that is the end. Are you doing anything for God? Are you carrying the message of Jesus? Resurrection to mankind, as these women? Jesus had surprises for us all along your lives, even in death there is a great surprise awaiting us. Death is the gate to endless joys. The Christians need not fear Jesus has fixed that. He conquered He arose from the dead. I long to see my father I know that I will not see him as I saw him down on this earth his body will not be bent with age and full of diseases but I shall see him standing erect, his eyes shall sparkle with the love of God. So you feel the same about your Mother, or others that have gone that are near and dear to you. They were here with you last Easter but this Easter they are gone. They are not dead, Christ is not dead but He lives! He lives, forever more.
Yours with love

If you are 30 years of age or under, a slight excess of from 10 to 15 pounds over the standard weight, stands in your favor. If, however, you are over 30 years of age, then being slightly under the given standard weight is best. Of course, since persons are of such different types, the standard weight in itself is not to be taken as the last word.

GIVE every man thy car, but few thy voice", is a proverb that abounds in wisdom.
Recently, so the story goes, an official of one of the trunk railroad lines, running in and out of this city, called into his office several of his road-service employees and severely reprimanded them for what he termed their "talkativeness."
It seemed that these employees were overheard to criticize the way in which certain trains on this railroad were operated. The criticisms were uttered in a car, filled with passengers, and were spoken so distinctly that they succeeded in attracting the attention of all the passengers in this car.
Among those who took note of them was one, presumably a stockholder in the road, who didn't think these criticisms were justified; and if he did, he didn't think, so subsequent events proved, that they came with very good grace from the employees of the road; for he wrote the railroad concerning the incident, which resulted in the reprimanding of these employees.
Now, insolfic as the incident itself is concerned it is of small moment; the point is, how far did these employees err when they undertook to criticize their employer openly? It also adduces the question, are employees justified in criticizing, in the hearing of patrons, the way in which their employer does business?
In the case of corporations, many employees seem to think that they have as much right to express themselves on the way their employer does business as those persons who are not in the corporation's employ
Personally, that has always appeared to be faulty logic. The fact that the employer is of corporate interests, and not individual in its ownership and management, doesn't in a moral sense, allow its employees any more latitude for criticism than if the same corporation were a business of individual character.
Of course, we all criticize our employees, whether they are of the individual class, or of the corporate type. Seemingly, it is human to do this. But there is a time and a place when and where this should be done.
Apparently, the railroad service is the most copious field for criticism any public service of like character in this country. Whether this is psychological with the American people, or whether it is merely traditional, is hard to determine. But whatever the cause, it can't be laid to the lack of desire on the part of the railroads to please their patrons. So when a railroad finds its own employees engaged in the gentle art of criticizing it, the limit to patience is reached.
Some of our short-sighted porters have a similar habit of criticizing their employer. For what purpose it would take a gryps to tell. It doesn't seem to enter the heads of those who do this that the average Pullman patron is a business man; and though he himself may criticize the company and find fault with is service, he will not, from a business point of view, appreciate the porter doing it. Furthermore, the patron that invites criticisms of the service from the porter carries no weight heavier than his Pullman ticket.
Picked Up Here and There
The rumor still persists that, certain schools will not be represented, in the Pullman service this coming summer. This rumor, of course, is merely hearay. But should it turn out to be a fact, it will be unfortunate; for despite the suns of omission and commission with which it is charged; and despite the assertion made by every successful Negro, who has worked in it, and who, after reaching a state of affluence, decrees it on account of his "aversion" to that feature of it, the Pullman service and tips have enabled students from nearly every Negro school in this country to realize their academic ambitions sooner than if they had worked in some other service, during their vacation period.
The members of the Pullman Porters' Athletic and Social Club are enthusiastically making preparations for their annual, frolic and dance, which will be held on Friday evening, May 7, at New Star Casino. J. L. Perkins, assistant chairman of the committee of arrangements, announces that the coming affair will be the most pretentious one ever given by this club. One of the features will be a Charleston contest, for which prizes will be awarded. Prospective contestants are requested to apply at the club's home, 105 West 130th street, for information regarding the contest. Mrs. Mabel Fitts, the star maid of the Pullman Porters, was seen by this chronicle the other day looking the picture of health and pulchritude Residence in Nepperhan Heights agrees with Mrs. Fitts. But, then, any old place would be intended to treat this lady kindly.

On coming to New York he connected himself with the Mr Olivet Baptist Church and continued his membership there until he joined Mother Zion in 1913 under the pastorate of Dr. J. W. Brown. He was elected Trustee that same year.
In 1917 he was appointed Leader of Class No. 12, and at once the Class began to take on new spirit and life. Under his leadership it became one of the strongest Classes in our Church, whose influence was spread far and wide
He was a member of the Board of Trustees, (Chairman of the House Committee, Assistant Treasurer and Property Agent), Leader of Class No 12 Chairman of the House Committee of the Brotherhood, Associate Member of the Progressive Club He was also a member of the Southern Beneficial League, Hamilton Lodge, No 710 G U O of F, and Boyer Lodge, F and A M
