Mrs. Daliy E. Lampin of 2519 Webster avenue, Pittsburgh, president of the National Colored Republican Conference, the political organization founded some years ago by the late Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersey City, N. J.; has sent out announcements for a national memorial service for Dr. Cannon to be held on Memorial Day, Monday, May J1, at Olivet Baptist Church, New York City. At the same time, she calls the annual meeting of the Conference for Tuesday, June 1, at same place.
Some interest attaches to the fact that the Secretary, James E. Keford of Warburgery, Conn., has called a meeting of the executive committee for May 11, and this call makes no mention of the annual meeting. Attention is called to the fact that the annual meeting has always been held during the first week in July, just following the Independence Day holiday, and that this date is provided for by the Conference rules.
Changing The Program
Another matter is being spoken of in this connection, and that is that at the 1925 meeting in Atlantic City the Conference accepted the invitation to come to New York which was extended by the Rev. John W. Robinson, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church, and that it was understood the meetings were to be held at St Mark's. The outcome of the apparent conflict in arrangements will be watched with interest. A leading member of the organization, who declined to be quoted, said that Mrs Lampkin, president, and Mrs Mamie E. Graves, treasurer, of Jamaica, Long Island. N. Y., are not in accord with Secretary Keford and other male members of the executive committee, and that they are responsible for the changing of the date and place of holding the annual meeting of the Conference. The prediction is made that the annual session will be held in July at St Mark's Church.
Among the speakers are Mrs Addie H. Winton, Miss Hailie Q. Brown, Burroughs, Miss Hailie Q. Brown, Charles Mitchell of West Virginia, ex-Councilor M. Miller, Dr. E. P.
Jacksonville, Fla.-Brit Pringle, a white man, tried here for the murder of John Simmons, colored proprietor of a woodyard, was convicted and effenced by Dewitt T. Gray to be electrocuted.
Pringle is the first white man to be convicted in Florida of first degree murder for the killing of a Negro without getting a recommendation for mercy.
- State Attorney Charles M. Durance and his assistant Ion L. Farris, prosecuted the case. They recently secured the conviction of O. P. Bud Kirtland and Fred Stokes, both white, for the killing of a Negro and they were sent to the penitentiary for life.
Pringle, after killing Simmons, hid the body under tow logs in the swamp for ten days. He was accompanied by Walter Howard, an other white man, who will be tried separately.
Struck By Clenched Fist Dies In Harlent Hospital
Thomas Smith of 117 West 134th street died Thursday night in Harlem Hospital for injuries received when he was struck by Nercker Perry of 2424 Seventh avenue the alteration occurring in a restaurant at 545 Lenox avenue about 9 p.m. Information given by witness indicated that Perry was drinking. Smith was eating and Perry began interfering with him. When Smith moved another table Perry followed and fitted Smith with a elencet fist the blow knocking Smith down. When the stricken man was found to be unconscious he was hastily removed to Harlem Hospital and attended by Dr. Conper. Smith died with out regaining his senses. Friends were notified and the body removed to the city morgue. The dead man bore a good reputation. Perry was arrested by Patrolman Morrell Davis and Graskin.
White Foreman Shoots And Kills Colored Man
Tampa, Fla.—(george Edwards a Negro workman was shot and killed by Lee Roberts, a white foreman who alleged that the colored man had attacked him with a razor when the money received by Roberts for the payroll was not enough to pay the paym in full
It is claimed by Roberts that he divided what money he received among the men assuring them that the balance would be paid as soon as it could be paid to the office. Edwards refused to become abusive and attacked foreman. Three other white men pulled Edwards away from Roberts, but Roberts charged that Edwards made another attack when released, and that then the fatal shot was fired. The sheriff's office exonerated the man.

Harlem Boy District Winner In N.Y. Times' Oratorical Contest
Lewis M. Goodwin, a 13 year old colored boy from Junior High School 139, was the only Harlem winner in the city-wide oratorical contest conducted among the students in secondary schools of Greater New York by Lewis M. Goodwin, who was elected by Dr. Jacob Rosso, after a contest among the boys of his school to represent that school at the district contest at Washington Irving High school in March. The prize winners were recently announced, the prizes being $50 and a gold medal. Goodwin is a native of Alabama of his parents are dead and he is being reared by an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Goodwin of 143 West 142nd street. He is one of the brightest boys in his school and is ambitious to complete a college course after finishing high school. His $50 prize has been placed in a bank as a nucleus for his college peers. All the contestants spoke on the "Constitution of The United States" Young Goodwin's oration was as follows
Counsellor John William Smith, former Alderman from the 21st A.D. whose law office is at 26 Cortlandt street, and residence in the apartment building at 145 West 138th street was exonerated completely on Friday May 14, of the charge preferred by Miss Cressi Topp, young white woman teacher in the George Washington High School, that he had been intoxicated while driving his automobile on Tuesday March 2. The charge was made by the woman after her car had collided with Mr Smith's car on one of the driveways in Centra Park at about 81st street and when three policemen refused to arrest Mr Smith, she made the arrest herself. Mr Smith denied the charge of first-time driving under the driveways and took a drink of any sort during a week prior to that day and that as a matter of fact, his car was standing dead still when Mass Topp lost control of her car which was coming toward him, and her machine crashed into his locking itself into the front mud guard Mr Smith's car was pointing north and Miss Topp was driving south. Mr Smith asserts that a white chauffeur who came on the scene following the collision ascertained from the white woman that that colored fellow (referring to Mr Smith) owned the other car, and that he was responsible for her damages by making a charge of unlawful against Mr Smith. It was followed this that the three officers reused to make any arrest.
Complaint is made by Mr. Smith that when the woman making the arrest herself is accompanied by the officer, took him to the station house the police station on duty was very discontentous even after Mr. Smith had disposed his identities as arresting attorneys, as law and former member of the Board of Aldermen. Bond was made immediately, and Mr. Smith complete indication followed when the case came to trial. May 14 was purposed by the former Alderman to institute action to recover full and ample damages from Miss. Ipp for damages to his car totalling more than $200, and for other losses he has sustained including the slanderous iminations against his character.

TWO LYNCINGS IN THREE DAYS SHOCK FLORIDA
Alleged Attack on Woman Is Found To Be Sandy Case Of Hysterics
TROOPS CALLED OUT TO PROTECT NEGROES
Road Builders Hire Armed
White Men To Protect
Negro Employees
Tallahassee Fla.—Florida's again in the limelight of unpleasant notoriety through the lynchings, within three days, of two Negroes in different sections of the state.
On Saturday night, May 8th, Parker Watson was being carried from Clearwater to St. Petersburg when a mob took him from the officers and lynched him. The body was found with five bullet wounds and the face scared with acid. Watson had been arrested for alleged burglaries in St. Petersburg, and the theorist has been advanced that some persons suspected he knew the cache of large quantities of stolen goods and applied the acid in an attempt to force him to sacrifice.
On Monday night May 16th, Henry Patterson was taken at Labelle, New Fou Myers, shot to death and the body hanged to a tree. An alleged attack upon a white woman was the cause of his arrest but the woman later resisted before the Coroner's jury that she became frightened when the man came into her kitchen and had fled screaming
Troops Ordered Out
The situation at Labelle quickly became serious and many of the colored people went to Fort Slivers Troops of the Florida National Guard were sent by Gov. Martin to Labelle and the town put under military guard on Thursday. The State Chamber of Commerce, through its president Herman Dann, announced that Governor John W. Martin would be asked to make a complete investigation into the killings. Mr. Dann's statement was that Florida "could ill afford to have such a stain as that caused by the slaying of the Negroes at this time when the cries of the nation were on the state." Contractors building roads in the vicinity of Labelle maintained one large concentration camp for their Negro employees with armed white guards to protect them.
Whiskey Still In House Seized By Officers As It Was Being Operated
Revenue officers swooped down on a still in operation Monday, at 108 West 13rd street. A large copper still and about five gallons of whiskey, were confiscated on the third floor near apartment east.
It is said that some unknown man was making the beverage on the third floor and selling it to customers on the first floor. Monday afternoon a woman went in to purchase a drink. Several men were in the place a fight started and one of the men but the woman with a bottle. She called the officers and gave them a tip on how to locate the still. The owner of the still could not be located. It was neglected by the tenants. It was the reason that this still has been running as full blast for some time but that when Patronian Harris of the 10th Precinct made previous raids, the evidence disappeared like magic. A complaint was made that several times whiskey ran through the ceiling on the tenants in the apartments below. Therefore it was even hard for the weatherman to tell just when the tenants on the first and second floors would receive a shower of liquid. The people in the house now breathing a high relief as they were always expecting an apology out of it.

Junior High School Principal Charged With Effort To Proscribe Pupils From Courses That Lead To Higher Education
JOLLY COPS HAVE GAY PLAY IN LENOX AVENUE SPEAKEASY Display Wads of Yellowback Money and Swap Tales Of Where It Came From
Three men alleged to be members of the Police Department of New York City, were in civilian clothes, off duty a few days ago, and they proceeded to try to drink dry one of Lenox avenue's largest speak-easies. They drove up in a Ford fliver belonging to one of the officers, but before they left the place there was a heated argument concerning the ability of the owner to steer the machine safely
Standing at the counter the three men, with the proprietor as their guest, imbibed freely and frequently of the alleged alcoholic liquids dispensed by the white-aproned servitor and contrary to the usual method ascribed to members of the police force these men paid for some of the drinks they ordered
Tore Up $20 Bill
In fact one of them, the one who seemed furthest gone, and who owned the care in which they rode to the place had a handful of greenbacks in either some, and while there might have been some ones and two, the only denominations visible were tens and twenties. So plentifully was he supplied, that one of his companions tore up a $2 bill for him, and started to tear up another, but was restrained by the third man and the proprietor. The liquors that the trio had inudged in served to loosen up their tongues and they discoursed freely concerning conditions and things in general. In response to a tibe from the liquors company, the trio showed the man who appeared to the man in the bunch tearing off his fingers. What you should see I'm walking that beat for it. Later this man, at a convenient moment, slowly showed the bartender a roll of greenbacks, the outside of which was $1 bills, but the core was century notes several $100 bills being visible.
Objected To Being Advised.
The owner of the Ford flusher was begged by his fellow officers to let his car go to a garage till next morning, advising him that it would be safer for him to take a taxi when they left. To this he demurred in strong language asseraining with force that his car would go to no garage. Finally the trot left and the last seen of them they were standing about the car, arguing with the owner as to who would do the driving. Incidentally, a nice looking colored girl who came into the place to see the porter, was hailed by one of the officers in a most familiar manner to which she replied in like style, and the officer who spoke to her announced to his fellows his personal interest in the young woman
Dr. H. H. Proctor Made Moderator of Council
As told in The New York Age of May R when the New York Association of Congregational churches one of the most important organizations of America composed largely of white churches met at St. Mark's Congregational Church Decatur street near Patchen Rue in Rochester on May 14, 1891. Dr. H. H. Proctor used moderation and acting moderation preceded the first time in that a Negro had occupied that position. What doubt had previously existed as to Dr. Proctor being named for the actual moderatorship was dispelled when the nominating committee brought in his name. The 400 delegates, mostly white men and women, rose to the feet cheering the nomination and giving a unanimous vote to the colored time at the Brooklyn in 1891 to pastor Nazarene Congregational Church Lios avenue and Herkimer street after having served the First Congregational Church of Atlanta Ga. for twenty five years.
Dr. E. R. Alexander Promoted At Harlem
Dr Samuel Iengang head of the department of Dermatology and Dermatology at Harlem Hospital and announces the promotion of Dr James R. Alexander at 21 West 190th street to the position of chief of clinic with the title of Physician in charge Dr. Alexander has been competed with the hospital as assistant physician in this department to more than 100 heart having moved forward Fay who predeced Dr Iengang. Dr Alexander has taken up graduate courses in diseases of the skin at Columbia University college of Physicians and Surgeons.
Miss Elise M Kormann, principal of Jun or High School 136, corner of 135th street and St Nicholas avenue, seems to want to make the girls attending that school cooks washerwomen, chambermaids, and other kinds of mental servitors, according to reports as to her alleged attitude with regard to educating the Negro child of the community.
Frequent complaints have been received from parents of girls attending Miss Kormann's school that their children have not been encouraged to take the general courses that would make them eligible for taking the Regents examination and for pursuing their academic studies through college courses. They declare that pupils have been advised and almost coerced into taking vocational training courses that would limit automatically their eligibility to entering courses that would lead to Higher education! Important.
The latest development indicating Miss Kormann's attitude is told by Counsellor Myles A Pauge, who is active in promoting a Go-To-College Movement being fostered by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Mr Pauge in arranging the program for a meeting last Sunday at the I H S 136, asked Miss Kormann principal, to welcome the fraternity and its guests in the opening of its higher education campaign.
No Sympathy For Fraternity.
But according to Mr. Parge, this Miss Kormann refused absolutely, to do. She elaborated her refusal, says Mr. Parge, by declaring that the campaign being inaugurated by the fraternity was in direct opposition to the work she is doing at 136, and that she has no sympathy for the movement. Further, she is alleged to have assisted that from result, she has attained in her work from applying of intelligence tests, she is convinced that the Negro girl is incapable of doing college work and to try to have her do so is a waste of state funds and of parents' money and energy as well. She asserted said Mr. Parge, that the children attending H.S. 136 are willing and glad to attend school and that their parents are realous in seeing that they do so, and that she has little trouble with the scholars in this respect. But Miss Kormann is not involved with H.S. 136 parents, nor is instudent, required to college careers, because the children are mentally incapacitated for higher study, and should not be encouraged.
Should Go To Work
What they should do Miss Kormann is credited with saying, is to seek to find their natural vocation and train themselves to that end so that they can get to work early and be of economic help to their parents. The school principal made a comparison between children in Italian and Jewish neighborhoods who hurts to get away from school so that they might go to work and the children in Negro tamil whose parents keep in school as possible even at great personal sacrifices stated Mr Paige. In this regard her attitude seems to be that since the Negro children are ambitions for fullest educational development they should be curbed, but that Italian and Jewish children, who leave school at 14 to 16 years of age for the workshop, should be urged to remain. Instead of asking Miss Kormann to begged as saying there should be a campaign for sending the Negro children to work that they may become contributing economic factors. The Alpha Phi Alpha traternity at its meeting on Sunday afternoon, took the statement made by Miss Kormann as reported in the Inspector's胺, un-

TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!
In order that the public might know of the difference between St Lukes' Mission and the congregation known as St Ambrose of St Lukes it is necessary that an explant on the ground. The St Lukes' Mission Donated 48 Edgecombe avenue is an organized well supporting congregation within the parish of St Lukes. The Rev William I. Walch D. Director of St Lukes Church Consent Avenue and 141st street is also sponsor for the Mission the Rev R. Bass. The Rev William I. Walch D. Director of St Lukes Church Consent Avenue and 141st street is also sponsor for the Mission the Rev R. Bass. On the fifteenth of November 1925 a change took place in the St Lukes Mission. The Rev R. Bass that warrant was then resigned and the Rev R. Bass was called Upon Me Dr. Bass's resignation a few persons left with him and opened an independent work on 100th street in St Lukes Hall, which is a building used by the Fraternal Order of St Lukes an organization which has nothing what ever to do with St Lukes' Church or St Lukes' Mission. The congregation worshipping in and hall styles stays at Ambrose of St Lukes' Church. It has not received the approval of the Disease of New York and is in any way connected with St Lukes Mission or St Lukes Parish. We are at war and stationed in committee of St Lukes Mission which is playfully understood that St Lukes Mission will not be responsible for any bills incurred by St Ambrose of St Lukes' or for any of the actions I said congratulate.
This statement is necessary, because of the fact that bills incurred by Mr. M Thompson and Rev. Mr. Diane for St. Ambrose or Rev. St. Luke for St. Ambrose will be sent to St. Luke's Motel and we will not be responsible for the payment of them.
SCHOOL OFFICIAL SAYS THEY'RE UN-AMERICAN
Board of Education Has A Blacklist of Those To Be Barred Is Charge
Announcement that the Peace Week celebration which was to start Monday night. May 17, in Morris High School, Boston Road and 166th street, had been cancelled because James Weldon Johnson, secretary, N A A C P, and Arthur, Garfield Hayes, of the American Civil Liberties Union, were to be the speakers, has brought about a discussion of the barring of individuals and organizations from public school auditoriums. Eugene C Gubney, Director of Extension Activities for the Board of Education, cancelled the meeting when he learned that Mr Johnson and Mr Haves were programmed to speak, telling Charles Frederick Weller, executive secretary of the League of Neighbors that if these men were to speak the meeting could not be held Mr Weller protested that nothing un American would materialize, but to no avail.
"Says Board Has Blacklist"
The charge is made by Mrs Isabel Friedman of the Better Neighbors Association that Mr. Gobney has a tapewritten blacklist containing the names of individuals who are to be barred from speaking in public school characterizing as an amazing document. But this Mr. Gobney denies.
Secretary, Weier states that he was told by Mr. Gobney and superintendent of schools, William J. O'Shea, that any persons connected with the Armoury Day celebration last November in Stuyvesant High School would be barred from other schools, and there was additional protest against Mr. Hays because of his connection with the Stories evolution treaty in Leuven.
Mr. Weller said further that five of twelve organizations barred from the schools by Mr. Gabies are the National Association for Advancement of Colored People the Community Church Fellowship Recognition Woman's International League for Peace and Freedom and the Civil Liberties Union. But Mr. Gabies says there is no limit to individuals or organizations prepared. "When application is made for the use of a school auditorium for a meeting a list of the speakers is submitted to a committee and there are materials they are considered and other papers upon or rejected."
Un American Talks Charged

good American," he said, "and I wasn't going to say anything at the meeting that, as far as I know, would have caused the walls of the school building to come tumbling down. "I suppose I've been put on the blacklist because I am on the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union. I can hardly believe the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has done anything which would be frowned on by the school authorities.
May Test Case In Court
Arthur Garfield Hayes and others of the Civil Liberties Union said they considered this an opportunity to test the powers of the Department of Education.
"I know of no law," said Mr. Hayes, "by which the Department of Education is given the power to discriminate between organizations and between individuals who apply for permission to use high school auditoriums.
"I believe that the Department is liable to legal proceedings, and the American Civil Liberties Union will commence action immediately. I presume we shall probably ask for a writ of mandamus from the Supreme Court ordering the Department of Education to permit us to use one of the public schools.
"Suppose a political campaign was on The Department of Education could with equal justice forbid speakers of the Progressive Party, to which I belong, from using school houses, while turning over their auditoriums to Republicans and Democratic speakers. That would be a clear case of penalizing a man for his political beliefs
Meeting Is Held
"This censorship is nothing new. Last winter an organization in Bégges invited me to speak on the Scopes evolution trial, in which I was an associate counsel. Later I was told the Department of Education had refused permission to have this meeting held in a school house for fear it might arouse religious controversy.
"The Department of Education, as a matter of fact, has put itself in the same position the Tennessee Legislature is in. It has shown itself afraid that people will hear something that may upset them."
The meeting was held Monday night in McKinley Square Gardens, 1258 Boston Road, with Mr Johnson, Mr Hayes, the Rev Albert Thomas, Mrs Margaret Laring Thomas and the Rev Leon Land as speakers.
Charge Junior High Principal Wants To Limit Girls' Study
(Continued From First Page)
der consideration and a committee headed by Mr. Pagee was named to draw up and issue a statement concerning the matter
Principal Denies Charges
Freed R. Moore, of The Age, Letter A. Wilhelm of The New York World and Commissioner William L. Patterson representing the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, called on Miss Kormmann for a conference concerning her reputed attitude. To these gentlemen, the school principal declared that Mr. Page had mistaken her position and mistreated her remarks. With reference to the meeting on Sunday afternoon, she said she had placed the cards announcing it on the bulletin boards of various floors of the school building that those interested might know about it. Miss Kormman talked freely of her attitude with reference to the training of pupils attending her school and assured that she had never disinated against any of them. She said she believed in giving the girl the broadest education but did not believe in sending a girl to high school or college who wasn't prepared or who lacked the necessary background.
She recognized the duty of teachers to take the fullest interest in pupils, and had never questioned the morality of pupils as related to race, creed or color. In fact, said the teacher the phases of education as told of by Mr. Paige were not discussed at all. She declared that every girl had the same chance but that she did not encourage slackers who come to school just to be there, but who lack a proper sense as to what education lacks.
Consulted With Parents
Miss Kormann made the assertion that she consulted freely, with parents as to their children and gave her callers copies of a four page folder header Information for Parents, which she said was sent to homes of her pupils for guidance to their parents, teaching courses in the junior high pupil. The folder described an Adjustment Course to two years given over age prizes who have finished 5 B grade a 4 years Industrial Course giving training in several lines of industrial work a Commercial Course. I embracing and office practice a Commercial Course III with training in office practice and stenography a General Course with French which qualifies the pupils for admission to regular senior high school work leading on college and a commercial Course with French for pupils whose work is eligible the 5th year is deficient. On the last page of the folder Miss Kormann has summarized the around courses and included therewith suggestions concerning the advantages and dead antages of the different lines of training with what seems to be emphasis as on the opportunity for the how and why to earn a very good living after taking the Industrial Course while the General Course preparing a pupil for the professions brings one to face the probability of a small income for several years after leaving college. There taking the Commercial course seeking office work is said that the field is much overcrowded.
Telle Parente About Coursera
The General Course prepares for the professors and should be taken only by those pupils who have good minds are not overage for their grades and whose families have the financial ability to keep them in school at least ten years longer.
"If they leave the course without completing it they have no special preparation for life and will fall be
The Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees has finally concluded eight months of negotiations with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company with a new contract on rules and wages for dining car cooks-waiters. The first contract ever made by a railroad and dining car employees was that of the "New Haven" and the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees in 1921. And it was the determination of the employees to be rid of the absurd qualifications of the original agreement which brought about the long drawn out negotiations resulting in the superseding contract
Ever since the Brotherhood went before the Railroad Administration in 1919 and made representations which brought the 8-hour day) 240 hour month) to all dining car employees, that has -been the general work month, particularly in the East where the Dining Car Employee's organization has preserved it by contract The "New Haven" dining car department has, more than all the rest combined, insisted upon far-fetching interpretations, to the employee's great disadvantage and loss in compensation
It insisted in basing a 240 hour month on a calendar month. For instance, if an employee made 240 hours in 24 days he was entitled to a full month's pay. On the "New Haven," however, of the employee had made a full month in 24 days and did not serve the rest of the month, such time as he did not serve would be deducted from 240 hours in 10 days. Under the revised rules of the new contract, an employee if he makes 240 hours, will be paid a full month's wages and additional time would be overtime.
In all conferences with the dining car management it insisted upon keeping the rules permitting such deprivations. The organization representatives vigorously opposed. Finally, upon organization insistence, conference was granted by the general manager held in his office at New Haven, Conn. April 26 It lasted over two hours and the fairness of the organization's contention was conceded. But after tentative agreement was reached and the conference had separated, dining car management wrote the old rule into the new contract. This brought Grand President R B Temus back from Washington post haste. And in a few days the contract was written as agreed to and signed.
The New Haven dining car cook's wages are the highest in the East, though the cooks-wasters of that service spend 20,000 a year for lodging from home, which is not covered of similar employees of any railroad in the East. Another readjustment of great benefit was the matter of relief with pay. The New Haven never properly granted monthly relief. Henceforth it will be almost on parity with the other lines in this respect.
The courtesy and fairness of the general management left nothing to be desired. Representatives of the management were I. A. Droege general manager I. W. Woodward assistant general manager I. P. Perry, wage statistician and A. G. Webb, superintendent Dining Car Department for the organization Grand President R. B. Lemus, Vice Grand President R. I. Johnson and the local Adjustment Committee—John T. Dickerson chairman, Quincy Faulkers Joseph Thomas, Thomas Vincent and Jacob I. Johnson
Chairman Dickerson was forceful faithful and with his commitment, all employees of the company, deserve credit for their excellent achievement

hard those who are trained in the industrial or commercial course. Even those who finish face the probability of a small income for several years after leaving college. The summer course should be taken by people waiting to do their work. This fed a much overcrowded and those pupils who are aspecialized and prepared for such work will be ready getting good post-tum.
The industrial trades and prisons make millions of dress makers, etc., but to give the purists a broad training along industrial lines, that of they have it, a little they may be prepared to take the more profitable higher and positions in these lines of industry for which they are specially adapted. A combination of skillful hands and a good general education puts a boy or girl in the way of earning a very good living.

Strong Recommendations
Besides recommending that no more Bishops be elected, and that women be granted equal suffrage in the church councils the bishops statement dealt with race relations, revision of Church Discipline, Lynch law functioning of the Ministerial Court of Appalas, patronism of the Negro combining the executive work of the Sunday school and Fpworth League endowment fund for superannuated preachers widows and orphans, revision of Missionary Constitution Women's Missionary Secretary to be a general officer elected at general conferences, changing ratio of election of delegates to general conference to one to every 28 ministers in annual conferences with a like number of laymen, building publishing house and general office building for church headquarters either in Jackson MI, Memphis, Tennessee or St Louis MO and opening of mission works in South America while Bishop Hamlet made a similar request as regards Africa.
Keen Flight for Office
Although no bishops are to be elected the rivalry for general officers position promises to develop a campaign has keen and intense as a resource by elections of bishops. President Office holders are candidates for election but there are strong and able men on the outside who believe they are better qualified for the works than the list.

$25,000 Alienation Suit
Of Dart. vs. Morgan Is
Dismissed By Wasservogel
Random S. Morgan, real estate agent, of 2161 Seventh avenue, who was being sued for the sum of $25,000 by Henry N Dart for the alleged alienation of Mrs Dart's affections, was given a verdict of dismissal by Justice Wasservogel in the supreme Court of New York County on Wednesday, May 12, when the case was called and Dart failed to put in an appearance. Mr. Morgan was represented by Gordon S. P Kleeberg, whose law offices are at 66 Broadway, and it was on Mr. Kleeberg's motion that Judge Wasservogel granted the order of dismissal.
It was stated also that Mr. Morgan's action against the New York Amsterdam News for $10,000 damages for label, based on the publication by the paper of certain statements with regard to an alleged association by Mr. Morgan with Mrs. Boulchard Dart, wife of Henry N. Dart, would be withdrawn in consideration of the publication by that paper, of a full and complete retraction with statement of regret for the publication. Mr Morgan stated that a draft of the proposed retraction had been drawn up and submitted to him but that it was not satisfactory, and an other was to be drawn up. The publication was to be made in the current issue of the Amsterdam News, and in the event that the贴 statement to be printed was not entirely satisfactory to him, the damage suit would be continued

HUMAN RIGHTS IGNORED.
In its early estate and up to the time when Theodore Roosevelt was a forceful fighter in its direction, the Republican party had to some extent merited, the reputation of being the party that stood for human rights. Since that time it has become the most indifferent to issues involving questions, and more solicitous to serve the cause of capital and exploit the weak of the oppressed. The news dispatched just week recorded two more retrogressive steps in abandoning the cause of human rights as reported from Washington.
One of these was the dismissal by the Interstate Commerce Commission of a law involving the inferior accommodations furnished to Negro passengers on railroad trains. Dr. E. Crosby sought $1000 damages for the alleged failure of the Louis-San Francisco Railway and other furnish Negro passengers the same type and station facilities as afforded to white passengers. Pullman accommodations were refused him and in other ways it was charged that he was subjected to unreasonable restrictions in violation of the Interstate Commerce act.
The Commission dismissed the case, back of jurisdiction, adding that the allegations of undue prejudice were not shown with sufficient definiteness to warrant the annulment of an order. It also denied that the power to award punitive or exemplary damages. The railroads contended, even if the allegations of the plaintiff were they did not constitute violations of the act regulating interstate commerce. Another indication that human rights were honored under the present administration was the announcement that President George, despite earnest protests, had signed the bill providing for segregated bath beaches in Washington. This bill was produced by a Republican representative from Maryland and now becomes law. The assent of a Republican President for Massachusetts. The bathing beach designated for the use of colored persons is to be located at Buzzard's Point on Macostea River while the whites have the East Potomac Park. If there is anything a name the facilities provided for colored others does not promise much.
This is the material disadvantage of the provision of separate accommodations or facilities whether consist of railroad cars, schools or bath beaches. The separate facilities provide the always inferior in one way or another they are pumwow cars, they are old white affairs, placed next to the engine with toilet facilities, used as smokers with races unsafe unsanitary and disgusting to decent travelers. If they are school buildings are mostly inadequate located in rotten neighborhoods. And nothing beaches are invariably selected Buzzard's Point.
But the main feature and intention of state racial accommodation is to denounce rights of Negroes to citizenship, housing, and amenities as an inferior and subordinate. The question of human rights is denied and outraged by all laws regulations entering segregations of races along the lines of color. If the public party repudiates its original point this respect we may have to look at other party to take up the cause of human rights.

HUMAN RIGHTS IGNORED.
In its early estate and up to the time when Theodore Roosevelt was a forceful factor in its direction, the Republican party held, and to some extent merited, the reputation of being the party that stood for human rights. Since that time it has become more and more indifferent to issues involving such questions, and more solocitous to serve the cause of capital and exploit the weakness of the oppressed. The news dispatches of last week recorded two more retrograde steps in abandoning the cause of human rights as reported from Washington.
One of these was the dismissal by the Interstate Commerce Commission of a case involving the inferior accommodations furnished to Negro passengers on railroad passenger trains. Dr E. Crosby sought $120,000 damages for the alleged failure of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway and others to furnish Negro passengers the same train and station facilities as afforded to white passengers. Pullman accommodations were refused him and in other ways it was charged that he was subjected to unreasonable regulations in violation of the Interstate Commerce act

This bill was introduced by a Republican representative from Maryland and now becomes law by the assent of a Republican President from Massachusetts. The bathing beach designated for the use of colored persons is said to be located at Buzzard's Point on the Anacostia River while the whites have theirs in East Potomac Park. If there is anything in a name the facilities provided for colored bathers do not promise much.
This is the material disadvantage of segregation or the provision of separate accommodations or facilities whether they consist of railroad cars, schools or bathing beaches. The separate facilities provided are always inferior in one way or another. If they are junk crow cars, they are old wooden affairs, placed next to the engine with scant toilet facilities, used as smokers for both races unsafe unsanitary and disgusting to decent travelers. If they are schools, the buildings are mostly inadequate and located in rotten neighborhoods. And the bathing beaches are invariably selected at "Buzzard's Point."
But the main feature and intention of separate racial accommodation is to deny the equal rights of Negroes to citizenship and to humane them as an inferior and subject race. D the question of human rights that is denied and contraged by all laws and regulations entring segregations of the races along the lines of color. If the Republican party, repudiates its original policy in this respect we may have to look for some other party to take up the cause of human rights.

FRATERNAL RACE GREETINGS
When the Universal Negro Improvement Association founded by Marcus Gary did its convention in Detroit last May, Whitewater Fort Whiteman as general secretary of the American Negro Labor Cess saluted the Garvey organization lengthy communication and proposed struggle against exploitation of race in this country and throughout world. Before extending fraternal meetings, wrote the writer taxed Garvey organization with having retreat and weakened in its position toward
When the Universal Negro Improvement Association founded by Marcus Garvey, held its convention in Detroit last March, Lovett Lort Whiteman as general secretary treasurer of the American Negro Labor Congress saluted the Garvey organization in a lengthy communication and proposed a united struggle against exploitation of the race in this country and throughout the world. Before extending fraternal race greetings I wrote the writer taxed the Garvey organization with having retreated and weakened in its position toward the enemies of the race.
It was charged that while in 1920 the association demanded political rights for the Negro in the South when the white ruling class objected these demands were gradually withdrawn a demand for equal rights in labor unions was also objected to
the Association will draw all demands for the rights of our people in the labor unions and workshops. All tendencies of the Association to liberate our people from race discrimination and social inequality were withdrawn, because of the objections of the white rulers of the South. The Association was charged with having retreated on all issues and "even tried to win the approval of its enemies by declaring that it had no aim of struggling, for the Negroqs' rights in America, but would confine its activities to plans in Africa."
The present struggle going on in the Garvey organization was defined as more than a quarrel between the leaders for power. The real reason for this contest was asserted to be, that "thousands of sincere members of the organization are no longer satisfied to have the Universal Negro Improvement Association publicly classed as a friend or at least as not an enemy of the Ku Klux Klan; dissatisfied when leaders of the U. N. I. A. humiliate our people by conceding that this is a white man's country; dissatisfied when leaders declare that the Negro people will give up their rights and equality in this country which our people have done more than their share to build up in three centuries of slavery." The plausible explanation of this object surrender, made in behalf of Garvey before his fall, was the working of his "inferiority complex," actuated by his greed for more power and pelf.
While Fort-Whiteman has the reputation of being an adherent of the Communist party and an agent of bolshevistic propaganda, there was but little evidence of this role in the Labor congress held in Chicago last fall. Beyond the decorations and portraits of communist leaders on the walls, the meeting was of much the same tenor as any other racial convention. The resolutions adopted denounced the evils from which the Negro suffers in this country with the same degree of vigor and earnestness as have been employed by other race conventions. No revolutionary sentiments were advocated or adopted. The appeal to the Detroit gathering to put itself right on the question of race rights was significant. If the American Negro Labor Congress can bring the Universal Negro Improvement Association back into line on the question of race rights, it might increase the usefulness of both organizations.
In the meantime plain speaking takes precedence in extending fraternal race greetings, according to Fort-Whiteman's direct methods of action.
THE RIGHT OF SELF DEFENCE.
The verdict of a Detroit jury, rendered last week, showed that reason has resumed its sway in that Western city and that the right of every citizen to defend his home from invasion was recognized without distinction of color or race. This was the second trial growing out of the shooting of a white man last September, as the culmination of a riotous demonstration against Dr Sweet's occupation of his new home. The jury disagreed in the first trial, that of Dr Ossian H. Sweet who with his wife, brother and eight others, were arrested after the shooting and indicted for murder. The second trial was that of his brother, Henry Sweet, in which the jury rendered a verdict of acquittal

The treatment of this case by the various news agencies and newspapers was significant. The Associated Press was inclined to minimize its importance and gave the following outline of the case.
The treatment of this case by the various news agencies and newspapers was significant. The Associated Press was inclined to minimize its importance and gave the following outline of the case.
Henry Sweet Negro was acquitted by a jury here late today of the killing of Leon F. Brener during a race disturbance here last September. Brener was shot by volleys which police said were fired from the house of Ossian H. Sweet Negro doctor.
Ossian Sweet his wife, his brother, Henry, and eight other Negroes were arrested and a quantity of arms and ammunition were taken from the house after the shooting. Ossian was tried first, the hearing resulting in a mistrial when the jury disagreed.
Clarence Darrow, Chicago criminal lawyer, acted as chief defense counsel in both trials, and Arthur Garfield Hays of New York was associated with the defense in the first trial.
The United Press gave greater weight to the significance of the verdict by the use of the following phrases

The right of a Negro to preserve the privacy of his home in the face of oppression from white neighbors was unheld by a recorder's purge last night, which a quitted Henry Sweet of the murder of Leon J. Bruner. Bruner was killed September 9, as a result of a disturbance when Dr. Christian Sweet, a Negro physician and brother of Henry Sweet, moved into a white district. A mob gathered to protest and in the enactment Bruner was shot and killed. Henry Sweet admitted firing the shot but pleaded justification.
The importance of this case in affirming the right of self defense against mob aggression and the choice of residence free from segregation was perceived in its early pages by the alert officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The organization began
The importance of this case in affirming the right of self defense against mob aggression and the choice of residence free from segregation was perceived in its early stages by the alert officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The organization began a drive for a defense fund to which there was a hearty response by the race at large and the best legal aid was secured to defend the case. Despite the efforts of the Ku Klux element which had invaded Detroit and sought to control the courts and city officials there was enough sound senti-
ment prevailing to secure a fair trial. The defeat of the Ku Klux candidates at the polls last fall strengthened the law abiding senti- ment and helped the cause of the defence. The legal advocate engaged, including Measre, Darrow and Hayes, fought the case largely because of the principle involved, and carried the hearing into the forums of public discussion.
The Sweet case marks another step in the affirmation by the courts and by public opinion of the rights of all Americans to defend their homes, without restriction of race or color. It scores another defeat for mob violence and Ku Klux intolerance. It was won through the united efforts of the race in backing up the initiative of the, N. A. A. C, P. by substantial contributions, and by the cooperation of such broad gauged Americans as Clarence Darrow and Arthur Garfield Hayes both in the courts and on the platform. And the saving quality of fairplay among the good citizens of Detroit helped to apeed up the result.
The ends of justice having been vindicated by this second trial in the Sweet case, we trust that the principles involved may be accepted as settled by other communities.
AN AWARD FOR EDITORIALS

The following communication, dated May 13, 1926, was received by the editor of The Age, with a check drawn by the National Urban League, for the sum of fifty dollars. It read.
In extending my congratulations to The New York Age for its demonstrated prowess within the limitations of our award for editors. I am herewith tendering the check of this $50.00—one half of the award for editors.
I believe that more attention needs to be paid to the very splendid work of the Negro press and to its capacity for influencing public opinion. The award for editors this year, sponsored by the Literary Section of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, was intended to provide a recognition of instances of the happy combination of a forceful literary style with effective inter-racial philosophy. These are well illustrated in the brief but compelling editorial, A DYING MAN'S LIE REFUTED, which appeared in the January 30, 1926, issue.
With best wishes, believe me to be
Sincerely yours,
CHARLFSS JOHNSON.
Editor
In accepting this award the editor of The Age cannot but feel gratified at this expression of appreciation and recognition from such excellent authority as the editor of Opportunity and the judges in the award contest. It is also gratifying to note that this award was shared with a local contemporary, the Amsterdam News, the judges dividing the prize between the two papers. A significant feature of this award for constructive journalism is that the prizes were presented by the Department of Literature of the New York State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, through Mrs. Addie W. Hunton, State president. This interest on the part of the women's federation in promoting the growth and recognizing the value of sound journalism is an incentive to fuller achievement and appreciation in the near future.
Another evidence of feminine interest in journalism came to The Age in a letter from Mr. Gertrude M. Duncan from which we quote the following paragraph:

For years I was a newspaper editorial writer and I want to take this opportunity to express my admiration for the editorial page of your paper. Some of your editorials are as good or better than any appearing today in any American paper. You are doing fine work. Keep it up. You have an able staff.
Such expressions as these are calculated to inspire the editorial force of The Age, or any other paper for that matter to renewed effort in setting forth the needs and aspirations of the race so plainly and forcibly that he who runs may read and understand.

In view of the impetus given to school attendance through the "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign inaugurated by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, several years ago, it is necessary to refer to some tendencies that crop out from time to time in some of the schools in this city. There is an apparent disposition on the part of individual teachers and principals to discourage colored pupils from attempting to pursue their studies beyond the grammar grades, by emphasizing the difficulties of high school and college work.
In the Continuation High School in Horlem, the colored students who enter from the grammar grades are, without consultation with their parents immediately placed in the industrial classes and given no opportunity to pursue an academic course. The importance of industrial training cannot be over-emphasized, but the students and their parents should have some choice in the selection of the training which to fit them for future usefulness. In some cases the student may not be fitted for an industrial career or the parents may possess both means and the inclination to have their children prepare for professional pursuits. Before assigning the students to a district course of training some effort should be made to assert these facts.
No national guidance can play a necessary part in influencing the choice of a career for young students and should be given due
weight in determining the course of study. But even with this aid, the cooperation and consent of the parent should be obtained before definitely fixing upon the future training of the child. The color of the student cannot be taken as an index to the position that he may fill in life. No teacher should proceed upon so erroneous an assumption as that. The real ability of the student must be gauged by less obvious methods. The capacity to absorb and digest mental training and
COMMENTS BY THE AGE ON SAY
The Western World Reporter of Memphis called the meeting of the Shelby County Republican Convention, held April 30, the greatest political meeting held in that section for forty years. It drew this picture.
Men, both black and white, forgot their petty jealousies, their complexes and joined hands in one common cause Republicanism was the dominant factor and all men knelt together at the same shrine, made sacred by the blood of Lincoln. Here was a picture that young men and old men should study and get inspiration, and anoint their fears as to the outcome of the two dominant groups of this section, meeting and adjusting their differences, each keeping faith with his highest conviction. There was "Bob" Church, peerless leader of the Republican party, rising to the highest expression of his power and bringing to pass a situation unequaled heretofore. There was Wilkerson, the "backstop" of church, sound and sober, a veteran of many political "battles," lending his influence and power to the cause. There was Lee, who
WEEKLY NOTES

Holkar State Abandoned
The ruler of Holkar State in India, as alleged had some hand in the murder of Mr Bawla, a member of Bambay Municipal Corporation, who was shot last February at Bombay. The ruler is now to be tried by a special tribunal but ruler has shown his willingness to abdicate his throne. This rather leads one to believe that the ruler of Indore is compelled to abdicate his throne and that he might escape even justice. If his mourned abdication comes into the limelight, the State of Indore, would be usurped by the British Government, either by a direct rule or by a petty puppet to carry out their intentions. Thus unfortunately by the independence of a state has been deprived of and the ruler and her subject both are made helots within the Empire
Railways In India And Ry Board
In one of my previous contributions, I have explained at great length that the Indian Railway conference merely preached seminars for the amelioration of the conditions of the third class passengers who are crowded in the cattle load carriages, and that the sensitive Government is not bent upon any reforms in the management of railways, or is not prepared for the Indianization of railways. Here is a proof of it.
The Indian Railway Board is one of the Important branches of Indian administration. Yet the Government of India has not found a single Indian fit to be a member of this board. The question was raised in the Legislature Assembly even last year during the debate on the Railway Budget and a distinct promise was given by the Finance Member that on a vanancy occurring 'Seales will be weighed heavily in favour of an Indian'. A variance occurred very recently and the scales went wrong, for a European was appointed to that vanancy. This fact was subject of a number of questions put to the Pit showers of supplementary questions that followed showed how intensely Indians are disappointed. But one cannot help remarking that heggaras should never be choosers and that despite Indians indulging in strong terms and language the foreign heggaracrs would follow the index of their mentality which is White Supremacy. It is for this India wants independence.
Cost Of Committees
The various Inquiry Committees and Commissions that are appointed by the Government at a great deal to the Indian tax payers which may be judged from the fact that the Taxation Inquiry Committee alone cost the tax payers a sum of Rupees 500,000 (nearly two hundred thousand dollars). This is why India should demonize all Royal Compesse us and Committees.

There is need for active cooperation between the parents and the teachers in such cases, in order to get the students started upon the right road to learning. The teachers who try to discourage the youths seeking education, are untrue to the ethics of their profession. It would be better to guide them in the right direction to fit them for some useful career.

League Of Nations
Up till now India has been contributing a vast sum towards the maintenance of this institution and several of its members have been sent by the Government on behalf of India. The representatives were not elected but nominated by the Government in the teeth of public opposition India contributes as large a sum as Great Britain and vet. India has been deprived of sending her own chosen representative and that the League of Nations has done nothing for India is an acknowledged fact Yet India is forced to contribute a heavy sum towards the maintenance of that League of Nations.
Speakers and School Buildings
(From The New York World)
Consider the ramifications of the debarment by the Board of Education of James Weldon Johnson of the American Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Arthur Garfield Hays of the American Civil Liberties Union from making speeches in our public-school buildings
According to William J. O'Shea, City Superintendent of Schools, the action taken reflects a decision to bar from school buildings all speakers unfriendly to the American Government. Now since Mr. Johnson represents a body dedicated to training Negroes for American citizenship and Mr. Hays, body dedicated to the preservation of the American Constitution we assume that Mr. O'Shea when he speaks of government does not can government in general but rather government in particular which is to say administration. Then to be consistent, he must bar from school buildings all Democrats. But as it happens our City government which must also be considered is democratic so that to be quite consistent he must bar all Republican.
Disregarding Socialists and Communists, who have no rights, this leaves eligible only persons who he belong to no parties at all or those who do not vote. But according to Mr. Conludge these people, representing nothing but a great apathy, constitute a menace graver than a crime wave and are we conclude the real enemies of the Government. So that, as nearly as we can figure the thing out, there is nobody left to speak in the schools at all.

We have nearly four thousand of land at Shepherdsville in minerals of various kinds. The primary object in purchasing the large amount of land was to colonize and build Negro town. We have an incorporation for a city one mile away with the streets laid off, everything ready for development.
Already, we have fifty three families living comfortably at Shepherdsville and I dare say had it been for the great exodus of our people from the South to the North a few years ago there would be 252 thousand 52 living there now
Supreme President Chandler said he was not discouraged, that he would day our hopes will be reclaimed. The order comprises fountain, on or near lambs, with a sick and accident treatment.
The editor of the Arizona Times, published at Tucson, scored the news bureaus of the race as inadequate. He said that with more than a half dozen news collecting agencies among there is not one worthy of the name He added.
Bias, poverty of form and substance and many other essential undesirable elements are preponderant in the releases and dispatches of our press service. Too much emphasis placed by them upon petty murders the tongue of scandal is constant, heard certain areas are too thorough and minutely covered, while others localities are allowed to be unchronicled. The result is that most newspapers present a spirit of filth, scandal and inadequate while the people, thirsty for information and enlightenment, are being nuded and intolerant of. It is perhaps an interesting but insoluble question as to whether not the lives of the Negro people America are as eventful as the lives of the American white people. The present trend of collecting bureaus will certify an answer of negation, an answer of little of the thoughts, activities and movements among us.
This criticism is perhaps too sweeping, as the chief defect of the undated news has been its sterotyped character, a rehash of matter taken from the day press. There is room for authenticity and original treatment of racial news printing.

of Grand Opala does not rise to the dignity of decent barriveau. It is the most ridiculous interpretation of classical music ever constructed against a cultured aspectability.
The daily papers knew better, but they raise every opportunity to make the Negro look like a fool or elitism in the public eye, and they can always find an Uncle Tom willing to perform. A better name for burlesque would be Holmes Folly, rather than Grand Opera."
And the Fine Arts Study Club, of which L. O. Lewis is chairman, added its voice of repudiation, terming the announcement as a "reflection on the intelligence of music lovers of the city," and putting itself on record as protesting the use of such a title as "Grand Opera" for a concert to be made up simply of chorus and solo numbers. The Fine Arts Study Club's statement is as follows:
"There has been published in Atlanta, notices that the colored people would conder at the Auditorium-Armory a musical affair which is being styled "Grand Opera," but which in reality is simply a concert madeup of Chorus and solo numbers.
"The promoters of the concert profess that this is appoised by the white and colored citizens of Atlanta; and have given wide-spread publicity to the same."
"The Fine Arts Study Club of Atlanta at its last meeting greatly deprecated the fact that this reflection on the intelligence of music lovers of he city should be receiving this publicity and voted to go on record as pretesting against the use by the management of the concert of such broad terms in their advertisement, as "colored citizens of Atlanta" of whom the club is certainly a part. The club disayows most emphatically any connection with the affair, so erroneously designated, "Grand Opera." (Signed,) SPECIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE FINE ARTS STUDY CLUB. L. O. LEWIS, Chairman
Bordentown, N. J.-Five hundred listeners packed the auditorium of the Bordentown Manuel Training School to hear the contestants for the Bordentown Cholr cup at the third annual choir contest of the school Macedonia A. M. E. Church of Camden won the decision of the judges and received the cup trophy after an extremely close contest which revealed the best music in the history of the contest
Messrs Edwin Francis Hill and Adger of Philadelphia and McDowell of New York, all prominent music teachers, acted as judges, basing their decision on the following points as shown by each choir: attack, balance, precision, enunciation, expression, and general musicianship Out of a possible 100 points the Camden chor received 96. St John's M. F. Church of Newark came second with 94 points while the diminutive church of Mt Zion at Bordentown and Trinity of Long Branch came third and fourth, respectively.
In spite of the rainy weather crowds began arriving early nearly all by bus or automobile and when the program began at 1:30 the school auditorium was packed to the last available seat. All the choirs wore robes or uniform clothing of white and black making a pleasing platform effect. For an hour and three quartets the big room echoed and reechoed with the heating waves of music from the throats of eleven choirs, but there was no sign of fatigue or mastication on the part of the listeners. Not a person left the auditorium until the announcement of the judges, which was received with a storm of applause. As always there was some slight disagreement on the part of some with the selection of the judges, but there seemed to be little question that the first two named were the best of the group.
Distinct improvement over last years general standard of competition was shown by ever choir entered and in the contest anthem, 'He Shall Come Down Like Rain' a chance was given for several very beautiful solo sources to come into evidence. The Bordentown Choir Cup will be retained by the winners this year until the next contest when it will be sung for again. That choir which wins it three times will retain permanent possession of the trophy.

Fleet St. Memorial
A. M. E. Zion Church
For three and a half weeks the membership and friends of Fleet Street AMM Zion Church have been engaged in a religious campaign conducted by six young men who have consecrated themselves to this great work. They are known as the Gospel Feast Party, the Rev G. Wilson Becton, evangelist, J Leroy Terry, pianist, Mr Mundy, 1st violinist, Mr Johnson, 2nd violinist Mr McCormick, cornetist, G Homer Smith soloist, and music director
During the entire period every service was attended by large crowds and manifestations of a deep interest were shown and many were overwhelmed as the Holy Spirit touched their hearts and kindled a bright fire of sacred love. During the campaign many additions were made to this church, and a number, expressing a desire to connect themselves with other churches in the city, also came forward and offered their love for Christ
pretained them.
As the close of the meeting drew nigh and the fire still burning, the question. What next seemed to arise in the minds of the people. Like the good shepherd who knows his flock, their wants and every need the pastor Rev W C Brown when he arose to deliver the sermon on Sunday morning, to the agreeable surprise of the anxiously waiting congregation, preached from the theme, "What's next?"

Salem M. E. Church
The grave danger of Christians relaxing into habits of religious indifference and carolessness was the possibility against which Dr. P. A. Cullen warned his congregation Sunday morning last. The sermon was taken from the Bible account of the five wise and five foolish virgins, St. Matthew, 258.
"Our lamps are gone out!" the distressing cry of the foolish virgins, Dr. Cullen told, was made because they had trifled away something very valuable. Applied to our times the pastor reasoned that "If you lay your hands to do a certain thing for God he is holding you to it."
"The sloven attitude of many so-called Christians do not readily convince others that they have oil in their vessels he said, "above all, he concluded, "If we are left in the predicament of the foolish virgins someone else will wear our crowns

The Junior Usher Board of St. Marks Church was present in a body The children presented Dr Cullen with a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers. Mrs. Nannie Taylor, the newly appointed Junior superintendant, presented the Junior department of the Epworth League in a very pleasing program.
In the evening Dr Cullen addressed the E. Belle Johnson Circle The spirit of compassion was his thunder He related how the women have naturally been leaders in this virtue, having caught the lesson of Christ more deeply than the men It was Dr Cullen's third sermon for the day he having previously preached at Mt Calvary M F. Church Salem's choir directed by Prof R Grant, rendered music for the service.
It was Boy Scout Day at Grace Church last Sunday and Troop 774 was in full attendance. The boys occupied the front centre seats. The deputy marshal was present and II Pierre Marshall, scout master was in charge. Both were introduced by the pastor.

during the year. The membership of the church May 1, 1926 was 6,030. The main auditorium seats 2,000 people and the lecture room about 1,000. A double service is held each Sunday morning and then people are often turned away for lack of standing space. Miss DeAncy is assisted in the clerical work by Mrs. Eva B. Smith and both of these are kept busy week-days and Sundays. Perhaps no other church in the country has such an efficient corp of workers. Dr. A. Clayton Powell is serving his eighteenth year as pastor, and Rev Marshall L. Shepard his third year as assistant.
St. James Pres. Church
The May showers of Sunday morning did not prevent a goodly number from turning out at the usual hour to hear the pastor, Rev Wm Lloyd Imes. His absence from his pupit the Sunday previous, made the audience all the more anxious to hear him and the automobile trip to Lake Placid and return had evidently filled him with inspiration and renewed vigor. His six minutes sermonette to the children was on the "Go to High School, Go to College" movement, in observance of the Alpha Phi Alpha week just closing
The regular sermon was no the theme, "The Dry Humor of Wet America," and was an appeal to all citizens, especially Christians, to stop the illicit traffic in drink, taking as his text Romane, 14 21, he emphatically proclaimed that "the time has arrived when no self-respecting person can longer be silent on the drink question in America. The question is not one of mere personal privilege but a matter of social righteousness and there is no compromise for the Christian citizen to make."
The evening sermon was the annual sermon to the Scotia Chapter of New York. Many graduates and former students of the institution were present. The text for the sermon was for Psalms, 4513. The pastor spoke of the obligations resting upon educated womanhood to create a larger life in the home school adn church Mrs. Carrie Snowden Jones the secretary, made a report showing the splendid work being done by the chapter in raising an annual scholarship for a worthy student in Scotia Seminary Mrs. Emma Wise, president, presented the pastor with a token of appreciation Dr Julia P H Coleman and Miss Alexander former students and graduates from Scotia, told of some of the improvements being made and many of the hopeful sings for advanced educational work being done at the institution.
Mrs Elizabeth Dent united with the church by letter, from Bethany Presbyterian Church, Englewood, N.J.

Siloam Presbyterian Church
With the week of Pentecost in mind Rev George Shippon Black pastor, at the morning hour of worship took his text from Act 13:52 Before beginning his sermon the pastor spoke of the wonderful prayer meeting service of the Wednesday evening previous, as the most inspiring meeting of his life a meeting expressing the highest peak in christian joy The message of the morning hour was "The Gift of God to the Church." The week of Pentecost marks the birthday of the church. We should consider the gift of The Holy Spirit as the gift of God to all believers, as they spoke they had power. The religion of Christ is not expressed in terms of weakness. We should come back to a sense of power in our individual hearts, that whatever we do, we should feel that we shall win, shall accomplish and do things for Christ.
