South Carolina Grand Jury Failed To Return Indictments Of Aiken County Lynchers Despite Eye-Witness Evidence Ignored Judge Johnson's Fervent Plea That Members Of Mob Be Brought To Justice, For 'Wilful, Cowardly Murder'
Aiken, S.C.—Despite pronouncements by Governor John G. Richards and Judge J. Henry Johnson, presiding over the Court of General Sessions of Aiken County, S.C., calling upon the Aiken County grand jury to take action in the investigation of the lynchings of the three Lowmans—one woman and two men—last October, the grand jury, on Friday afternoon, January 8, made a report, as follows:
"WE DO NOT FIND THAT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE HAS COME BEFORE US TO WARRANT US TO ASK FOR INDICTMENTS."
Attorney John M. Daniel under instruction from the Governor, presented the evidence to the grand jury, assisted by County Solicitor Berte D. Carter which had been gathered by State Detective, W. W. Rogers, Thirteen witnesses were heard by the grand jury, including seven persons who were in prison in the Aiken County jail on October 8, and were见证者 of many of the lynchings incidents.
He had told the grand jury that no more than a "probable case" was needed to bring an indictment and when they said that "sufficient evidence has not come before us to warrant us to ask for indictments," the Judge expressed himself as follows:
"I regret exceedingdan d. I believe every lover of South Carolina will re
Had Named Lynchors
These witnesses previously had named individuals they had recognized among the lynchers. State Detective Rogers, in the course of an hour and a half told, of having obtained the name of almost every person suspected of having taken part in lynchings despite intense local objection to prosecution of the guilty participants.
When the grand jury was sworn in, judge Johnson had told them, referring to the Lowman lynchings:
"The eyes of South Carolina are uponiken county today, and I might see eyes of America are upon you. I don't know who the parties were, and I hate no idea as to their identity. I will say that a little band of men have besmirched the good name of Aiken counties and of Aiken Caroline. I do say that I am deliberate, and co-operate with which criminere there can be no greater. Any lynching is a soundly murder but the lynching a woman is the lowest form of murder that I have heard of.
"Wilful. Cowarclv Murder."
I know for your own sake and sake of the citizenship you Aiken county and in Aiken county, you ought to be up and use every effort to secure those men, because said, regardless of who was wilful, delilherate, fully murder of the lowest man to man. You cannot done in sudden heat and murder the words has past, and written is at hand. Say only, to South Carolina, so that you are go them to justice or that someone to do it. Take ultimately and definitely the other. God help Aiken South Carolina if you are nothing! and jury findings were governor Richard, who are from the admin precedensor, former Walter who refused to call him to sift the car in this particular was Attorney General Daniel
He had told the grand jury that no more than "a probable case, a prima facie case," was needed to bring an indictment and when they said that "sufficient evidence has not come before us to warrant us to ask for indictments," the Judge expressed himself as follows:
"I regret exceedingly兰d I believe every lover of South Carolina will regret that you have been unable to present any citizen or citizen for indictment of this case. I shall not assume that your failure to act is through any anterior motive. I prefer to believe rather that the State has not presented to you such evidence as would warrant an indictment. As the lynching of Bertha Denon and Clarence Lowman takes its place officially on the list of South Carolina's "unsolved" crimes,

Nashville, Tenn.—That beginning next year the tuition of Fisk University will be raised to $33.88 1-3 per quarter, and that the High School Department will be suspended, are two important announcements recently issued from the president's office.
In announcing the change in tuition rate, Dr. Thomas Elsa Jones said: "Our students must more and more bear a larger share of the expense of their education just as students are doing in other large schools," and he further declared that even with this increase in tuition the students of Fisk will be paying less than in some of the other colleges for colored youth. Fisk must bereafter win "in a strictly budget basis, the President, averred, and in addition to other sources of present and expected income, the school must procure $50,000 annually from the students.
Mme. Schumann-Heink Is Guest Of Bethune Cookman College, Fla.
From the reports received by Dr. Jones, who has been travelling in various parts of the country, persons desiring to learn are more interested in the mind of students than will receive than in the cost of that education.
T& Offer Master's Degree.
In line with this idea the announcement was also made that, within one or two years, graduate work leading to the master's degree will be offered in several departments. Work in Education, business administration and practice, and music, will be especially emphasized in this reorganization plan. In high school, the department of the University will be discontinued after this in year in order to give opportunity for concentration on the college work, the enrollment for which has already exceeded the five hundred mark for the first two quarters of this school year, which is several per cent. greater than the college enrollment for the entire four quarters of last year. Certain sub-freshman courses will be offered to provide for probable deficiencies in the student's high school preparation, to provide facilities for demonstration and practice teaching as part of the extensive work to be offered in teacher training.
Despite the increased tuition, the high standard of scholarship, and the rigid apprentice requirements being imposed by Fisk, applications continue to go in- daily, according to the officials.

It was fitting, therefore, that she should see the work of a woman who has made untold sacrifices for the benefit of the Negro.
Madam Schumann-Heink was received at the coffee by the president; Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, and escorted to the platform by fifteen members of the Advisory Board, where she was introduced by the chairman, Mrs. C. M. Rahslow, who said: "I am sure that we are not only glad, but very joyful at this moment that Mme. Schumann-Heink has taken a little time from her resting period, to come out and look at it. It is very wonderful for us, because we are deprived of going to hear her at the Auditorium. To the school you will say what I, am sure, will say you, the teacher has, by great diligence and hardship, sacrifice worked her way, up to a grand career, from poverty. Like your own, isn't it wonderful? It gives me great pleasure to present Mme. Ernestine Schumann-Heink."
Madam Schumam-Heink replied as follows: "I am not a speaker, although sometime, I find the words on express my feelings, I am an old mother and a grandmother. I believe in God, I believe in human beings. They are all alike. We are all old children of God, and I have found that your race, the race to which I belong, is fine and beautiful representatives are the real, loyal Americans, who have reached a great, big high point in life. Suffering means sacrifice I sacrificed. I suffered, but knew that God would never, never leave me if I did my duty, and if I did not let bitterness and jealousy come into my life I do love the world—I do love, above all, our blessed America! It is the greatest country in the world! It is the greatest nation, and if I never did know what it meant, I will go to head during my life in the tents when they let me serve them—when I met all of the boys—when I sang for them—when I went to the hospitals
With Dr. PIERCE'S FAVORITE
PRESCRIPTION!
Mrs. L. P. SORRELL
Lynchburg, Va. "I can highly recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for woman's ills. At times I could scarcely put my feet to the floor, and would suffer great pain and distress. I would be in such a weakened state that I was not good for anything. My nerves would be so cramped that I could no pain or excitement I would go all to please suffered from backaches and almost unhearable pains. I doctored, but got no, relief until I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It took away all inflammation and promoted regularity so that I have no more trouble along these lines. It also strengthened my nerves, made me well and strong in every way."—Mrs. L. F. Sorrell, 814 3rd street.

I felt that that was the time when I could prove to the United States my deep undying gratitude for what the United States Stater did for the old greenbrown, Schlumann-Henck. (I am not a greenbrown and more.) "You must excuse my poor English. I started to teathe English, not from books and leading not from teachers, in the tenths. You can imagine what I learned. "Now young men and young women, I am not a speaker, as I told you. I just want to tell you, to keep up your ambition, never get jealous, because God Almighty will bless your race just the same as everybody else who is decent and good, who is right and ambitions. Later on, when my career is over I have just one and a half years more—if I can have the opportunity to come here and be of help to you, to your soldier boys called me "Mother Schlumann-Henck." I will be just "Mother Schlumann-Henck" to you and be whoever I can."
Madam Schumann-Heink joined in the singing of "Swampy River" and all were held spellbound by the richness of her deep contrato voice.
2,174 Alabama Boys Enrolled In Better Farm Methods Clubs
2,174 Alabama Boys Enrolled In Better Farm Methods Clubs
Taukegae Institute, Ala., During 1926 a total of 2174 Negro boys were employed in agricultural club work, according to the annual report of C. M. K. Mette, state Negro club agent. These boys live in twenty counties having 153 active clubs. //
The purpose of this work is to train these boys in better methods of farming by giving them practical training on the farm. Their projects included practically all kinds of crops and animals with corn, potatoes and oats predominating. Most of the boys carried two or more projects. Along with their projects, livestock and farm crop judging teams were trained in the different counties in order to acquaint them with the different factors going into quality production.
While receiving this training these boys, the report shows, were stimulated to obtain further knowledge in order that they may grow into scientific and successful farmers.
Sunday was recorded as another great day in Fleet Street Church.
The Triple-Sisters" was the theme at the morning service from which the pastor, R. W. C. Brown, prescheduled that this was a most touching and comforting term. It was a lesson that all people of all nations and all nationalities seem to be slow to understand, and only through these combined forces can we be brought together. Christophry for "for the whole history of humanity shows how the Almighty works with man, and as they recognize His leadership, their works are lifted up and, are enabled to come in closer touch with Him and grow in His keenness.
At the regular Sunday school hour, the members assembled in the Sunday school room. Following the worship service, certificates of promotion were presented to ninety scholars, including those in the primary, junior and intermediate departments who had given satisfaction in their respective departments and were advanced. F. Mitchell, Rev. Reynolds, district superintendent of Sunday schools of the Long Island District, New York Conference, was a guest at this hour and he presented the certificates.
The school then marched into the main auditorium of the church where Decision Day services was observed. Some time, and instructive expression were made in remarks by F. C. Mitchell and B. F. Smith. Rev Brown made the appeal for those who would take a decided stand for Christ. A number of young and younger folks came forward and made an open confession.
The evening service, Rev Brown chose for the subject of his text, "A-Timely Admonition."
"I drive a car for hire,"avec Mr. Ike Sabal, of Gadenen, Ala."and have to get up and go, early and late. Consequently I can't have regular hours for eating and sleeping. I occasionally have indigestion and find it necessary to take a laxative. I had heard of
for a long time. The dru-gist told me Black-Draught would help me. I bought a package and had it made in tea and sake is any time I feel the seed of a laxative. It always helps me. I have much better appetites after I take Black-Draught. I can eat about everything I want and feel full of pep. I would not be without it for double the prion."
Black-Draught can be taken dry or made into a tea, as you prefer. Either way, it costs only one cent a dose.

Protect Your Children
You love your children! Of course, There are few things of which you are more certain! And how do you show your love By giving them everything you can and by doing all that you possibly can to make them happy. There is one thing which is of the utmost importance Have them immunized to diphtheria This is a dangerous and serious disease and is one of the greatest enemies of childhood. Three injections of toxin antitoxin will make children immune to this dread disease for life. The injections are given one week apart. They do not hurt the child, or make him sick. But they do make him safe from diphtheria.
Children should be immunised as soon after they are six months, old, as possible. If yours have not been done, take them to your family physician now and see that they are made take them immune. If you cannot afford to go to a private doctor, go to a Department of Health Station near your home and have it done there, free of charge. If you do not know where the Health Department Station is, call Worth 9400. Above all things, protect your children from this serious, and often fatal disease.

Paper Read By Mrs. Jennie Green Before The Teachers Of Brown Memorial Baptist Sunday School, Brooklyn
Paper Read By Mrs. Jennie Green Before The Teachers Of Brown Memorial Baptist Sunday School, Brooklyn
"How To Save the Boys and Girls Of Our Sunday School Mr. Superintendent and teachers: After giving the subject of "How to Save the Boys and Girls of Our Sunday School," careful consideration, I have come to this conclusion. The best way to save our Young folks in Sunday school, is to see that they have good teachers and proper teaching in their classes. I think they should be taught that beng good alone brings true satisfaction and happiness. If they come to understand that good things and right living give lasting satisfaction and enjoyment, they will naturally shun evil things, evil doing, and evil companionship.
They should be made to understand that for whatever wrong they may do, however slight, they will have to at some time atone by suffering, elitism in this world or in the next... They will have to learn the lesson that the things of God are the only good things to strive for.
Teachers should be good students and inspire their classes with love for the Bible. A teacher should be spiritually prepared herself for teaching. I think Sunday school might, during the week, offer more in the way of amusement to the young people's pleasure, thus keeping them out of the streets and questionable places. Religion will have to be interesting to them and it must be made something that they can use in their daily lives, or it will never save them or attract them to the service.

Hampion, Va.—Dr. John H. Finkler, editor of the New York Times, in a Founder's Day address on "The Education of Lincoln," commemorating the founding of Hampion "Institutes for the education of the Negro by General Samuel Chapman Aromstrong in 1888, said: 'I see the tall stature figure of the Emancipation, standing in the background of Hampion with his hand on the shoulder of General Aromstrong. The real emancipation has come in the education of Hampion Institute and through those who have followed in its pioneer service in the redemption and salvation of the race."
Intimate interviews were quoted by Dr. Finley, showing that Lincoln's own education, beginning with field and forest, did not stop with school of learning to read and write. "He kept on growing," said Dr. Finley, "until the sudden end of his life. He kept on growing—that is the supreme lesson to others who are living in this Republic that is the center of the world today. We have set up our machine of education and compelled people to pass through it on the way to literacy, but if we do not inspire them to go then we are missing the major purposes of education. Lincoln grew in his education to be the soul of his people. The mastery of his desires was upon him. To him full power did not come without self-discipline and self-education."
In estimating the contribution of General Armstrong to education, he said that the work of Lincoln would not have been perfect without the work of Armstrong, and Armstrong on the other hand could not have done his work except for Lincoln.
"If Lincoln were to come back he could know no bigger satisfaction than to see the children's children of those whom he emancipated being educated. If General Armstrong had not put into his training the essence of the education of Lincoln he should not today be helping an emancipated rate to American education."
Trustees of Hampton Institute present were: Dr. Francis G. Peabody, Dr. Francis R. Rev. Henry W. Foote, Belmont, Mass. Mary H. Henry Goodergood, Philadelphia; Dr. Samuel C Mitchell, Richmond, Va.; Homer L. Ferguson, Newport News, Va.; Frank Darling, Hampton, Va.; Clarence H. Kelsey and Dr. William J. Schieffelin, New York.

new places have opened.
Some of the big operators have closed dors, either temporarily or permanently, but others have come into the field.
For instance, the cafe in the Lafayette building, at 168 West 182nd street, off from Seventh avenue, was for many months put by its owner into the hands of his colored employees, and operated almost entirely, with only occasional supervision, for their personal benefit.
New Firm Opens Up.
Disgusted finally with the careless manner in which these beneficiaries handled the proposition, the owner has sold the place to a firm which is apparently new in the business—a least, it is not on record in The Age office. The place has been renovated and remodeled, new employees installed, and a determined bid is being made for patronage among Harlem's drinking groups.
The same firm has gone on Lenox avenue and acquired a place of business which, was formerly one of the largest and most prosperous German cafes of the pre-Volstead regime. Indicently, it was one of the places in which the colored wouldbe patron was given a frigre reception. This salon at 141 has been operating for several years. Seventh avenue, between 125th and 135th streets, it was noted that while two hoch places had been closed three new ones had been opened.
The proportion is somewhat different on Lenox avenue within the same crossstown road, so succeed only new ones were listed.

Dr. R. H. Stitt Loses Revenue Permit For Liquor Prescriptions
Dr. R. H. Stitt Loses Revenue Permit For Liquor Prescriptions
Prohibition Administrator, Mayor Chester P. Mills, gave out, on Monday, the list of physicians and drug-gists whose liquor and alcohol permitshave been revoked during the past week because of violations of the regulations laid down for their guidance.
Only two physicians are listed, and one of them is Dr. Richard H. Stitt, whose address is given as 2394 Squawthane avenue. He is charged with issuing irregular prescriptions for purchase of whiskey.
An examination of the Winter issue of the telephone directory fails to show a listing for Dr. Stitt. It is recalled that a Dr. Richard H. Stitt is or was practicing medicine in Brooklyn, but there is no listing in the latest telephone directory for that business.
The Brooklyn-Queens telephone directory, issue of October, 1924, listed one "Dr. Richard H. Stitt" as being located at 583 Franklin avenue, phone Prospect. 7950.
Alderman's Son, A
Policeman, Is Killed
Parolman James Masterson, 31, of
281 West 119th street, died Monday
night in Knickerbocker Hospifall, from
pilot shot wounds received from bandits
held in a wounded restaurant on the first floor of
214 West 103rd street.
Masterson was a son of Alderman
Hugh M. Masterson of the 19th A. D.
and was attached to Deputy Com-
missioner Daly's taxi squad. He had
stopped in the restaurant on his way
home from a funeral wake, and after
eating a lunch, was at the door on his
way out when he heard the bandits,
who were already in the place, acting as
quiet patrons, order the patrons to "Get in
the corner, and stick 'em up!"
The policeman, leaving the door ajar, turned back, drawing his gun as he began to retrace his steps. But the bandits' lookout, stationed in the vestibule, fired twice and Masterson fell, shot once in the abdomen and once beneath the right eye.
After robbing their victims, the bandits rushed out, trampling over the prostrate policeman, the last one stooping and snatching the officer's pistol and police badge. A blood transfusion was resorted to at the hospital, but without a wound. Masterson was not in uniform, and the fact that the bandits waited until the left the restaurant indicated that they knew him. He gasped out, just before dying, that the killers belonged to a gang that hangs out around Broadway and 88th street.
Race Relations Sunday Set For February 13th
Following an annual custom which began in 1923, February 13 will be observed this year as Race Relations Sunday.
On that date sermons, addresses, and programs on race relations will be given in thousands of churches throughout the country.
The plan was originated as a means of enlisting the religious forces of the nation in behalf of a Christian solution of the race problem.
In response to the Church and Race Relations, 105 East 22nd street New York, will send suggestions for the observance of the day to any one interested. The Commission on Interracial Cooperation, 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga., will supply additional material for addresses and programs.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME
In the south where most of our people come from, nearly every body who is anybody owns something. A little home all my own orally idea is in the minds of little children, and when they become grown-ups, are property owners.
The came can be done right in New York City. It may take a little more cash—not very much more—but at any rate look at property No. 247 West 128. street, then come in and see us. You will be surprised how easily you can Own Your Own Home.
Four hundred beautifully gowned women and formally attired men assembled at New Renalance Casino on Friday evening of last week as guests of the exclusive Hyacinths Club. It was the club's eighth annual reception, and as usual with the yearly affairs of this coterie, the guests were representative of the social elite of New York and its urban neighbors.
Although its activities are wholly social, and except its annual receptions are confined to the membership, the history of how the club was formed is rather interesting. In fact, its inception is worth relating.
Eight years, ago, a group of friends of whom John E. Robinson and Mrs. Benjamin F. Thomas, both well-known socially, were the leaders, conceived the idea of giving a reception to Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Winslow of this city. The reception was to be in appreciation of the part which this couple had played in the social life of the young people of New York.
So, on the evening of May 28, 1919 there gathered at the old Music Settlement 'School in West 131st street, Noa-4, seventy-five or more of the Winslow's friends. The gathering was composed of those who had known the couple for many years, gad, as one speaker of the evening said, they were not only there to pay homage to Mr. and Mrs. Winslow for the cordial welcome which they had always extended their friends, but because their twenty-nine years of married life had exemplified the name of connubial harmony.
As a fitting token of their esteem, these friends presented the honored couple with a handsome silver cup, on which was engraved the names of all those who had taken part in the event. From that assembly of friends, the Hyacinth Club, with the Winslows as honorary members, was formed. Mr. Winslow has been the club's treasurer ever since.
It is the custom of the club to always have some feature or decoration for its affairs denoting originality. Last Friday night's dance had this novelty. It was an act by Brown and McCraw of Chicago, a man and woman dancing team. The act was lively enough, but hardly appropriate for an affair of that kind; although, judging from the apause which greeted the performers this was not the consensus of opinion among the guests.
Taken in its entirety the general character of the Hyacinths' 1927 receptive marked it has one of the premiere dances of the season so far as given in Harder. In their desire to keep the club original, the members have recently had it incorporated and the membership is limited.
Officers and personnel of the club are, as follows:
Joseph Sweeney, president; Mrs. Framesis S. Grant, vice-president; Mrs. G. Totres Colon, correspond-secretary; Harry M. Winslow, treasurer. Thomas H. Rutledge, chairman of the entertainment committee, and H. A. Williams, general secretary. Board of Directors; Dr. Edward E Best, Francis S. Grant, John E. Robinson, Dr. P. H. M. Savoy and James H.

Dr. E. P. Roberts Pays Fine Tritue To Dr. Washington
Dr. E. P. Roberts Pays Fine Tritue To Dr. Washington
Dr. E. P. Roberts, a former member of the Board of Education, and president of the Lincoln University Alumni Association, paid a striking tribute to the memory of Booker T. Washington, at a meeting held last Thursday evening, at St. Mark's M. E. Church, under the auspices of the yecum. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and showed the place that Washington has made in the hearts of his fellowmen. Cleveland G. Allen presided. Dr. Roberts told of his chose friendship with Booker T. Washington, and of the great sacrifices that he made for his race. He said that Dr. Washington endured more for his race than a great many people knew, and that his motives were often misunderstood.
He was not opposed to higher education for the Neptys' said Dr. Roberts. "but on the other hand he advocated it, and gave it all of the encouragement he could. He sent his children to the best schools of the country." Dr. Washington was a man of fine education, and was widely read, said the speaker. The address of Dr. Roberts threw many interesting side lights on the character of the famous educator. Tributes were read from Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Congressman Hamilton Fish, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, of Howard University, President Lowell of Harvard, R. R. Taylor, of Teknakeer, Rev. William Lloyd Jones, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church, and Mrs. William Wilcox, one of the trustees. Brief addresses were made by Abbey Bowser, teacher in P. S. 89 George Abbott, lawyer, George W. Hodges, president of baccent, and Mrs. Josephine Frazier am Rev. John W. Robinson.

COOLIDGE AGAIN A CANDIDATE. Unless all political signs fail the Hon. Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts will again be the Republican candidate for President of the United States, to succeed himself for a second or a third term, as one chooses to call it. Those who call it a third term can see no weighty reason why the former Governor of Massachusetts should be accorded an honor which precedent denied to such Presidents as Grant and Roosevelt. The sticklers for a second term point with pride to the era of national prosperity that has coincided with the term of the present administration.
At all events it is generally conceded that if Mr. Coolidge desires the nomination the standup politicians who usually name the delegates to the national convention, will not stand in the way of his getting it. In fact they are expected to facilitate the process by all the methods possible to Republican leaders controlling political patronage. As for the delegates from the South, it has been stated, with more or less authority, that the task of getting them in line and keeping them there, has been entrusted to no less expert hands than those on the Hon. C Bascom Slemp, former Congressman from Virginia and later Secretary to the President. The fact that Editor Benjamin Jetterson Davis of the Atlanta Independent, who is also National Committeeman from Georgia, has been lauding Mr. Coolidge in his paper, is a straw showing how the wind blows among Negro Republicans in the South.
The attitude of the Negroes' who"Vote in the North, but who send few if any delegates to national conventions, is not so enthusiastic in appraisement of President Coolidge They are willing to grant that he has made a fair enough President from the general point of view, but they fail to see that he has made any change or improvement in the policy of the Wilson administration in its discrimination against the appointment or promotion of Negroes in the public service. The same policy of segregation and discrimination is said to prevail in the departments at Washington, and in many of the Federal offices throughout the country color is made a bar to advancement, however good may be the record of the applicant for promotion. This discrimination is practiced in many of the post offices, and in other branches of the Federal service.
No new consular appointments have been made under the State Department, despite the creditable records made under former administrations, and the retirement of the minister to Liberia has left the race without any representation in the diplomatic service. Since the appointment of Walter Cohen to a customs post at New Orleans the Presidential appointments in the South have included past or present officers of the Ku Klux Klan or such Democrats as ex-Governor McLeod of South Carolina, who so signally failed to put down lynching in his own State.
President Coolidge may be renominated by the aid of such delegates from the South as may be corralled by Committeeman Davis and ex-Secretary Slemp, but that fact cannot be expected to arouse any great enthusiasm among the colated voters of the North. More than soft words will be required to reassure them as to the good intentions of the present occupant of the White House. Only deeds can testify to the existence of the goodwill and fair dealing so frequently expressed
THOMAS PAINE FOR ABOLITION
A valued correspondent of The Age writes to remind us that the month of January marked over the hundredth anniversary of the birth of that Philadelphia Quaker, who has been held up to obloquy as a free thinker and an atheist, Thomas Paine. This early patriot not only fought in the war of the Revolution, serving on General Washington's staff and being at the battle of Trenton, but was early opposed to human slavery and suggested the emancipation of American Negroes and provision for their education. This was in the time when Washington held lectures and the sage and
Our correspondent contends that Paine was not an insider nor an atheist as was indicated by his ayowal in his "Age of Reason," of his belief in one God. This is the belief of the Unitarian denomination of which Chief Justice Taft is a conspicuous exponent, and it is also shared by the Quakers, who reject the belief in the divinity of Christ. When Paine died, we are told, two Negroes were in the funeral procession of six mourners. There were only six people attending the funeral and the mourners, including the two black men, walked twenty-five miles from Greenwich Village to New Rochelle, where the body was buried. A few years ago a monument was erected to Paine in the outskirts of New Rochelle.
For many years because of the undeserved anathema of the church which stigmatized Paine as an infidel and atheist, because of his criticism of the Bible, his memory was held in abhorrence by most religious people. But the facts-as to his career and his belief in a God are available in Conway's Life of Thomas Paine, found in most public libraries. Gamaliel Bradford, in his more recent work, "Damaged Souls," devoted a chapter to the rehabilitation of Paine, as one who had been condemned without just cause. In his eyes Paine's chief offending was due to the fact that he was a rebel against the established order. He practiced the higher criticism of the Bible several generations too soon and was forced to pay the penalty of all pioneers.
In view of his advanced stand against slavery in America, we may well agree with our correspondent that Paine was as much a friend of the Negro as William Lloyd Garrison, Benjamin Lundy, Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner, John Brown or other famous abolitionists. Special tribute should be paid to the memory of Thomas Paine, and the example of the two black men who walked in his funeral procession should not be forgotten.
AN INSTRUCTIVE SURVEY
The third survey of the Negro press by Eugene Gordon, a wideawake Boston newspaperman, who has mastered the technic of his profession, which appeared in the January issue of Opportunity, is instructive as well as encouraging. It reveals better temper on the part of the critic and a more constructive tendency in his criticisms, even if they are not always consistent. He still retains his weakness for what a well-known writer styled weevil words, detracting from the force of his statements, by reservations of a contrary meaning, probably due as he himself acknowledges to his "natural and acquired inhibitions against uttering laudatons." This naturally weakens the force of his commendatory comment.
Nevertheless, Mr. Gordon admits that at no time in its past history of nearly a hundred years has the Negro press reached so high a state of general excellence as it now maintains. He further insists that as a group of class newspapers they rank above other class sheets in this country and he invites comparison with the best German or Jewish or Catholic papers to prove it. He claims that the black man's journals, if not always so well edited or well written, are more readable and attractive, and singular to say they look more prosperous. He emphasizes the fact that the Negro press is above all a "race" enterprise, race conscious and hence doing more than any other agency to develop this quality in its readers. He however maintains that the average colored journal is not a newspaper in the broadest sense of the term and that it may seem unjust to subject them to the rigorous standards applied to metropolitan journals. At the same time he notes the imitation by the race editors of the exterior characteristics of the general newspapers. He therefore insists they should be evaluated according to accepted newspaper standards. In fact greater accuracy in news gathering, better writing and editing and fewer typographical errors should be expected of a weekly publication. And Mr. Gordon claims that there are fewer.
Leaving the technical side of the question, Mr. Gordon finds the seemingly permanent indictment against the Negro press is "its almost universal subordination of important and intrinsically more valuable matter to unimportant but sensational matter." Mr. Gordon does not protest against streamer headlines or red headlines, classing neither type in itself as immoral, but he does insist that "when a newspaper considers sensationalism more important than accuracy and circulation figures more valuable than a pictorial chentic, it is slowl. but irreovably committing suicide." As an example of the misuse of headlines, he cited the Baltimore Afro-American's treatment of the report of Roland Hayes' marriage to an Austrian countess. At the same time he praised the Afro-American's campaign against President Durkee of Howard University as a notable achievement. To the unbiased observer the Hayes incident and the Durkee articles were much of the same stripe, the criticism of the management of the University being weakened by lack of
balance and too great personal animus. In his review of the notable achievements in Aframerican journalism during 1926, Mr. Gordon exhibits sounder judgment in mentioning the attack by the editors of the Louisville News and the Louisville Leader on the injustice displayed in the Kentucky courts, the Norfolk Journal and Guide's consistent and strong editorials against Nordic barbarism in Virginia and the manly and outspoken expressions of the two Texas papers, the Dallas Express and the Houston Informer. As he well says, these editors have contributed to the national good.
Mr. Gordon would do well to emphasize the necessity for a well balanced and consistent editorial policy, to be adhered to in the treatment of news as well as in matters of opinion. Intemperance of language and perversion of facts may fool the people for a while but in the end they only tend to weaken the cause and discredit the author of them. We are glad to see in this survey that Mr. Gordon has risen above meticulous fault finding to the discussion of the sound principles that should supply balance and driving power to the race press.
A DRAMA OF DESPAIR
The announcement that the play entitled "Ain Abraham's Bosom," originally presented at the Provincetown Playhouse, has been taken over by other interests and will, even a new production at an uptown theatre, under new direction, is another evidence of the growing vogue of the Negro on the stage. The play in question, which was viewed in our theatrical columns on its appearance, is a depressing picture of Negro in North Carolina, written by a writer, Paul Green, a former student and instructor at the University of North Carolina. The play was realistically presented by a mixed cast, only two of whom were white, and the actors deserved all praise given them by the dramatic review, is the motive of the play itself that changes criticism.
The main theme that the play writes seems to expound is the inability of the Negro to absorb education. Even the misguided hero of the play, Abraham McCraan of the white Colonel, who is bent on cook larnin'" and aspires to teach and teach his people, is drawn as so inexpt in his mind and fanatical in spirit, as to repel sympathy. The Negroes are depressed as jeering, and jealous of his pretense and rejoicing at his failures. His son, down later as developing under his hardness and neglect into an idle loafer with form on the chain gang as part of his experience. The only healthy human emotions exhibited in the play are the paternal indemnity with which the white Colonelresses regarded his colored son, and the calling fidelity of the latter's wife, who stole him through failure and despair, until his career was ended by the bullets, the avenging lynchers. Truly, it was drama of despair, relieved at times by human failings of the hero's mother-in-law. That the play truly represented certain conditions of Negro labor in the turpentine districts may be readily conceded, and a picture of the country school may have been to life, but the effect of the white drama is to give a hopeless view of education in the South, which is not true as a whole. It is possible that such an unpleasant enthusiast as Abraham McCraan might make such a mess of his mission such as the play depicts and his failures welcomed by the people he sought to help in the other hand, it has been shown to these same people have struggled and woe to establish rural schools and raised money to help run them. Opportunities acquire education are not slighted by those in any part of the South.
Mr. Green's play is a drama of despair related to do him to the cause of Negro education in the South. The enemies education can point to it as evidence that little schooling runs the race for practice. This is unfortunate in view of the fact that North Carolina has made greater progress in providing for Negro education than most of the other South states.

The multiplicity of churches in New York is explained by the fact that the number of new ones is continually being augmented by splits or divisions among longer established institutions. These splits are usually based on some difference of opinion between pastor and people, and the dissatisfied minority rather than submit to majority rule abandon the old home and go out to build up another struggling religious body. Sometimes the old pastor is among the defeated faction and leads the split. In fact, too often is this the case.
While this practice of splitting congregations on personal grounds and for wholly secular and worldly reasons is not confined to any one denomination, it seems to have its strongest hold among the Baptists, because that system of church government

COMMENTS BY THE AGE ON SAY
Discussing the shortcomings of the Florida school system, the Florida Sentinel of Jacksonville said:
A child coming to Florida from Bulgaria, Greece or any other foreign country has the opportunity of entering the best prepared school building splendidly equipped and with the best teachers who are adequately paid and, in most cases, operated on a nine months school term—just because his skin is white. A Negro child whose father and grandfathers have spent their time in making these devoted shores of Florida the most attractive and fascinating of the globe must go to schools which in most cases are dilapidated shacks with rooms poorly ventilated and heated (if at all), whose teachers are sometimes good but invariably poorly compensated on an eight months school term, but mostly and at most places on three and four months terms—just because his skin is black
The state of Florida provides that ALL children must go to school and that they be given equal rights and accommodations in so far as concerns education—it does not provide for distinction in color, race or creed. When a Negro applies to the board for a position as teacher, he or she is subject to the same requirements as all applicants On the other hand, the Negro property owner, the professional and business man or whatever his vocation, pays the same taxes, license and other state obligations as any other man, yet when it comes to one of the fundamental principles of our constitutional rights—EDUCATION—we are side tracked and ham-

Found Age In White Home
Edito of The New York Age
You will please find enclosed my renewal money for The Age. I certainly enjoy reading The Age. I wish The Age could find its way in to every Negro home in the United States.

"A Double Indiscretion"
Editor of The New York Age
Permit me space in the columns
of an inside race journal to avoid
a congratulate you on your spendid
editorial, "A Double Indiscretion,"
appearing in your issue of January 29.
I have read both the editorial and the
news article "Judge Abrahams Draws
Ice At Negroes By Prejudiced Remarks."
It is quite alarming, to say
the least to read of such prejudiced
interferences from a New York judge—and
a few too, at that. You have well spoken
in your very splendid editorial!
I trust a copy of The Age for January
29 with both the news article and editorial,
marked, will be forwarded to
me.
I am away from New York on the
city, and someone that have made me
treat I am today, but my interest re-
mains the same as if I were reading
in the old hime to you. Ke, on the
good fight, Mr. Editor!
As you have so solely said in closing, "It would be need to keep an eye on Judge Abrahams attitude toward covered litigants in the future." "And may I add, let every officer remember, Abrahams' affront to the race eight years home. The Negro must learn to respect his enemies as well as reward his friend." (Rev) F A ABBOTT Cheraw S.
Governor Right, Aiken Wrong
From Brooklyn Daily Eagle
We do not know what the unkempt sense of restaurant led to error toll. G. Richards tougger in his inaugural message the day before. South Carolina to punish mob murder. His obsession was severely criticized by some newspapers. The Eagle among them. He has now set himself right. Governor Richards deserves to have the criminals who slow three Negroes one woman and two men, of Alken County, traced, identified and punished. His order to the Attorney General and to the State Solicitor is "to lay all other matters aside and give all necessary attention to the task of clearing the name of our State to the end that those guilty may be tried in our court and a true verdict condemned according to the evidence. These are not weasel words, They compel the respect of all citizens, North and South. And the Governors
lstry. Very often the mulletry is looked upon as a soft job for an ablebodied man, where no serious exertion of mind or body is required. Too often this outside view is justified by the character and action of the men who get into the ministry on false pretenses. The ministry should enlist the best elements of character and physical and mental endowments that the race can produce, to do the work that is required of it.
Until men of high character and adequate capacity are called to the ministry, it will continue to be the resort of those who are hunting a soft job, where they can live easy off the money extorted from their misguided followers. And the natural result of such leadership will be church splits and continued disruption
pered with irrational obstructions and obstacles for the welfare of our dear children and their future happiness as well as an adequate living for our teachers.
The Srentwel calls for better equipped schools, with longer terms and better salaries for the teachers, both as a preventive of crime and for the building up of good citizenship. The force of this appeal should be apparent to the responsible authorities.
A Hot Springs correspondent in the Illinois Plain Dealer, in trying to solve the question of "what's wrong with Arkansas' black and white," said among other things.
Recently in the United States senate, Senator Caraway, contentious and sarcastic in a marked degree, decared that Negroes are not kept from voting in Arkansas. Of course, the people here "failed" right out in meeting in a sorta chinned way, because the senator has the ups on the "publicity department" and they cannot get a hearing. But this state, like many other southern states, has its fingers crossed — Democrats, and Republicans—on Negro voting. There's no question about that from looking at conditions right on the spot. When once in Hot Spring, there the magnificent Woodman of Union and Pythian Bath Houses are located, and a finer group of colored people with beautiful homes and glowing hospitality
explanation of the situation is interesting.
Three persons have been shot down while in the custody of the law, and there are those who are guilty of the murders, and yet no one has been punished or even arrested. Now the State has strong evidence but is powerless to actually try any one unless the Aiken Grand Jury first presents for trial those who were connected with this terrible affair.
And the State is actually powerless for the present, because the Aiken County Grand Jury, defying the evidence before it, which does not seem to have been weakly presented, refuses to present for trial—to indict—anybody. So while the Governor has exercised his power, his eliminated is position in the eyes of modern civilization, Aiken County is in a worse position than ever.
In other words, some local sentiment is protecting the subject, being against that, the southeast of the better people of Niken County, as the Governor's task. The same problem has been more or less evident in the prairie of Lansing, North as well as South. It has never been met too bravely in any part of America.

could the found ourselves, there is joy.
But the rub is getting in. The white
and colored business men and the rail-
roads ought to hold a "get-together
meeting" and work out a way to treat
self-respecting Negro passengers right.
It would mean hundreds of thousands
of dollars to this community Little

Evidently suppression of the suffrage
and Jimcrow cars are two of the things
that are wrong with Arkansas.
According to the Oklahoma City
Black Dispatch, residential segregation
in that city is proving to be a boomerang
in some instances. It said
As we expected, and as the Black Dupain presented sometime ago in these columns, it is the whites in this city, much more than the Negroes, who will first most under the burden of their private segregation agreement. We said in a previous article that schismal, that disregarded the question of human rights, was at the bottom of the agreement. That it was a dollar made contract against which everyone of the signatory parties would rebel the monet it appeared that their ox would be gored
And now comes Prentiss Price, white man of Oklahoma City, who alleges and states that his signature and approval to such a contract was secured through misrepresentation of fact. Price would have the district court to believe that one Mrs. Nancy Warden, and others insisted him as to the proximity of Negroes to his property. He states in his petition that he later learned that his property was virtually surrounded by Negroes, and because of this condition he will be able to sell or rent only to Negroes, he asks the court to release him from this agreement and restore all property rights as they existed prior to last August.
The Oklahoma editor does not credit Mr. Price's claim that he did not know the character of the agreement when he signed it, but he is willing to side with Price when he decides to attack the constitutionality of such a contract.
Under the heading, "A Strange Legal Oversight," the Asheville Enterprise reproduced an editorial from the Asheville Times, as follows.
"Mrs. Kate Burre Johnson, State Welfare Commissioner, does not use language too strong in saying that the sending of a thirteen-year-old Negro boy to the State Prison is a disgrace to the State". The youngster, Jaka Jones, came to trial in Haywood County Superior Court on a charge of wounding Wallace Ward, with a gun. He was convicted and Judge Harwood sentenced him to five years in prison.
"The Attorney General is quoted as ruling that the commitment was illegal and Pardon Commissioner Sink is taking steps to have the child removed to the Morrison Training School.
"The State law prohibits trial by Superior Court of minors under fourteen and provides that they shall not be confined in any penal institution for adults. Was the law forgotten, or what happened?"
The Enterprise characterized this proceeding as "quate indicative of the kind of justice that is meted out to our people, by those who have the dealing of justice in their keeping."
Commenting on the unified system of street cars and busses, the Richmond Planet said
It would be well for our friends in the North to note the embarrassments, handicaps and down-right opposition faced and dealt with by the liberal justice-loving elements of the white people in this section of the country. Recently a unified system of street cars and buses was put into operation with a view to benefiting, cheapening and serving all of the people in this community. Some of the chauffeurs on the buses for out cause or another had the habit of failing to see a colored patron a grailling a bus on a street corner, although where the transfer system was in vogue, they were bound to afford service.

CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK
A.M.E. WOMENHONOR MISSIONARY OFFICER LEAVING FOR AFRICA Overcame Strong Opposition From Conference Clergy In Paying Tribute
Notwithstanding the many obstacles that were put in their way, the women of the Mite Missionary Society of the New York Conference Branch of the A. M. E. Church gave Mrs. Emily Christmas Kinch, secretary-receiver of the Parent Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E. Church, a splendid latewell reception at Bridge Street church on Thursday night, January 27. She sailed January 28, on the steamship Atlantic for England, where she will secure passage to West Africa, where she will look over the work of the church and return it about three months, and make a report to the executive committee of the parent body. It was stated that some clergymen, powerful in the New York annual conference, were opposed to the reception, but this only made the women dependent to have the reception Mrs. Mrs. Wickham was chairman of the committee.
A feature of the affair was the great response of the ministers of the Manhattan District of this conference led by the presiding elder, Rev. S. H. Gumbs
Dr. Montrose W. Thornton, presiding elder of the Brooklyn District, was conspicuous by his absence.
A well arranged musical program was presented by the evening Mrs. Hopkins acted as mistress of ceremonies. She was introduced by Mrs. Cunningham of Manhattan
A number of speakers lauded Mrs. Kinch for her heroism in making the trip at this time, raising funds when the missionary branches of the church did not have the funds available.
Among those who spoke were Dr. Gumbs, Dr C. P. Cole, the Rev. A. R. Cooper, Mr. Thomas president of the Missionary Society, New Jersey, and Mrs. Beekett, corresponding secretary of the Women's M. Missionary Society.
Mrs. Beckett stated that Mrs. Kirkson had the approval of Bichon W Samson Broke, in whose district she will be Security Coit of the Missionary Department of the A. M. E. Church; and the executive committee of the Women's department.
Mrs. Felix Lawrence, secretary-treasurer of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of New York, and general secretary of the spoke.
Mrs. B. A. Cole presented Mrs. Kirkshon a basket containing $56 and articles that she will use on each of the twenty-one days that she will be on the ocean. Her speech was one of the features of the evening.
Mrs. Moseley of Bethel choir New York City, and Mrs. Ella Norris of Philadelphia, sang several pleasing numbers. The junior choir of Bridge Street Church and the Silver Spray Cub of Flushing also sang several pleasing numbers. Mrs. Adah Tylier is directress of the junior choir that she would do all she could to advance the work of her church in Africa, and would make a full and complete report when she returns.
The exercise was followed by an elaborate banquet. There were prominent elergymen, and women present in the state. New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The dinner was served during the day.
Special services next Sunday

The death of the sister of Dr. Carter G. Woodson prevented him from keeping his engagement at Mother Zion last Sunday. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, a large audience was present. The pastor preached from Romans 7:17, "The just shall live by faith." Five persons were united with the church.

WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH
St. Paul Baptist Church
On Wednesday night, Miss Marilyn Johnson; the newly elected president of the B. Y. P. U., in the absence of the literature, selected the 15th psalm and game a very enlightening exposition of it, after which all present spoke, making the meeting a very interesting one. Miss Johnson announced that at the next meeting, groups will be designated, and asked for the hearty support of all in an endeavor to make this the greatest year of union. In view of the fact that the Negro Educational Center of Harlem under the City Baptist Mission Society and the Negro Auxiliary, will have its mass meeting on Wednesday night, February 2, in Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, the union voted to omit its meeting on that date, and will attend the opening meeting.
Friday night will long be remembered as the time of a great prayer service. The people prayed earnestly to God for His blessing upon their efforts, and, as when of old, the church prayed, the place, where they were soaked, so it was on Friday night. New life is now in the church as the result of the election of some new deacons, all of whom are showing that they appreciate the honor in being placed in office.
Sunday the choir, under Mrs. Booker, and Mrs. V. E. Scott at the organ, rendered very good service, especially was the solo by Mrs. Edward Thompson enjoyed.
The pastor preached Sunday morning on "Wheat and Tares," and in the evening on "The Message of God's Reconciliation." "Rev Moses Thomas, a son of the church, was present and in the evening service. The people were encouraged by the statement made by the pastor, and showed the interest in what is now undertaken by responding with liberal contributions.
Union Baptist Church
On Tugday evening a meeting was held for Mrs. E. J. Butler, state missionary; who sails for Africa on February 5. The meeting was in charge of the Foreign Mission Board of the State, Dr. J. B. Williamson, chairman. Among those present were Dr. T. S. Larsen, Dr. P. H. Lee, Dr. R J Brown, Dr Simmons, Dr W H E Smith and Dr. Cook of Ossining, N. C. and Mrs. Richardson of Elmford, N. C. The principal address was delivered by Dr. W Ehols of Buffalo. Subject: "World Wide Redemption." The offering amounted to more than $300. Dr. Ehols spoke on Wednesday evening on the "Church's Program." Thursday morning he accompanied Pastor Sims to Rochester, N. Y., where they attended the dedicatory service of the Mt.

Dr. G. M. Oliver filled his pulpit at the morning and evening services last Sunday. At eleven o'clock, he preached on the indication of God's Supreme and Gracious Promise, Psalm 37:35. The saint is the Christ's followers are always for. In youth or old age, His promise holds good to those who will accept thereof. God is great and His Mercy endures forever. He is no responder of persons. Dr. Oliver preached on "The Glorious Doctrine of The Blessed God and Its Result". Romans 5:19: "For as by one Man's disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous" Illustrating as through Adam, we were all made through Christ we were all given an opportunity to receive eternal life.
The senior choir, Mrs. Brundage president, rendered excellent services all day. Between the hours of one and three, they served a Ritz Carlton dinner. At 3:30, a musical program was rendered.

At the evening service, a pleasant Sunday evening was given under the auspices of St. Mark's Lyceum through the courtesy of Leviticus Lyons, Novello Pinder in charge. A large program was rendered which was enjoyed by the large congregation as indicated by the Chaugausia salutes which were enthusiastically given. A membership meeting will be held in the lecture room of the church, Friday evening, February 4. A large attendance is earnestly requested by the pastor and officers.

St. James Prea. Church
"What is Christ to You?" was the theme of the sermon at the morning hour, January 30, by the Rev. Wen Lloyd Imaes, pastor. The children's sermon was the final in the series, "Five Continenta," and was a description of the continuation of North America. The passover meal for Indian, for all that he once soaked his enemies, was not as terrible nor cruel as the Aiken lynching parties and the like. In the evening a tremendous response by filling the pews in the great missionary rally gave a fitting close to a wonderful day. The church school and Brotherhood held good service to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority held a program at 3:30 p.m. with A. Phillip Randolph as the speaker of the day.
The missionary raily in the evening raised nearly $150 toward the present year's missionary budget, and the president of the society, Mrs. W. F. Michael, thanked all who labored to make the occasion a success. Mrs. Maude Jackson, secretary, gave an interesting report of the society's work, and Mrs. G. Gentry, chairman of the pews and arrangement, demonstrated what a splendid group of workers Missionary Department has. Mrs. Emma Delyon Leonard and the Harlem Academy Quartet and the St. James choir furnished beautiful music for this occasion.
The morning and evening attendances at services were large and enthusiastic despite threatening weather.
Sunday, February 6, Community will be held at 8 p. m., and the pastor preaches the annual Christian Endegavor Day sermon 11.
The theme is: "Flaming Young. But Not Wicked. All young people are asked to a body with the C. E. Society, and the president, J. L. Morrison, asks every one to be on hand early for this event.
Harlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church
"Vain dress and modest apparel," was the theme of Pastor Strachan last Saturday morning, at the Harlem Second Church, 106-108 West 127th street. The pastor said in part: "About six thousand years ago, God created the human family. Now just because that first chapter of the Bible, which records the events and things about dressmaking shops and clothing stores, some folks have concluded that the first parents strung up and down in front of each other altogether nude.
"This is not true. After God made the first human pair, He immediately clothed them. Of course, they were not given any ready-to-wear togs resembling the modern garments; but their beautiful forms were enshrouded with a divine light and glory, such as holy angels wear. And their glory, such as holy angels worn by Adam and Eve during that period of time they lived the obedience to God. But, when the hour they trangressed, their dresses fell from their bodies, and then, for the first time, they discovered their nakedness. Until the moment they sinned, they knew no nakedness. It was because of their nakedness, that they now sought to hide behind the bushes lest a holy God see them also. The Lord took pity on them, and made the coat of skins. This was their second dress prepared by the Lord. The patterns and the garments were all designed by the Lord.
"With the pattern and tools to work with in her hand, mother Eve opened the first clothes shop way back there for the earliest dawn of human history.
Ivery parment finished in Mother
Eve's shop was not only a covering, but
it was a badge and a reminder of the
first transgression.
Grace Church of Harlem
Grace Church and pastor continue to fill a worthy place among the agencies for good in Harlem. The occasional visitor will note growth in numbers and in spirit at Grace Church and in green communicants after the service at the door and makes visitors feel at home.
The sermon on "Love" last Sunday morning was remarkable in its cleanness and in its faithfulness to the Pauline interpretation of love—the greatest thing in the world.
The music was fair; but the atmosphere of the place was decidedly helpful to one visiting and needing a new voice to sing. The audience had the "dew of youth" upon it, yet the minister spoke in monologue, items that suggested a will to do grow.
The evening services are not well attended, but the pastor bravely conducts the service without choir or officiary—and positively refuses to close the church on Sunday night as some would have him do. Sunday night he gave a report of the installation service of the Rev. Dr. Durkee at Plymouth Church in Brooklyn last Thursday afternoon and evening where Dr. and Dr. and Mrs. Proctor occupied the Lincoln pew in the church of Reecher. One of the speakers referred to Dr.

Vocal Artists Give Program At 137th St. Y.W.C.A.Vespers
The Sunday vesper services, for the West 80th Street Branch Y, W. G. Yerkes on January 30 was the occasion for a program rendered by three vocal soloists—artists from the Wilson Lamb Stud. Orange, N. J., and New York City, and one from Brooklyn, the program being arranged by Lucien H. White of The Age, with Mrs. F. G. Caffey presiding, the whole being under the auspices of Miss Hattle L. Green, membership secretary.
Mme Louetta Chatman, colorate soprano, and Willis Bradley, tenor, were from the Lambo studio and Nahaniel D. Poode, former baritone soloist in the choir of St. Mark's M. E. Church, Manhattan, was the Brooklyn representative. The regular vesper service opening was directed by Mra. Caffey, with Mia Flosie Carter, vesper pianist, accompanying the hymns, playing the offertory and the closing song.
Both Mr. Bradley and Mr. Poole were handicapped by colds, but there was little evidence of it in their singing." Mr. Bradley, with John H. Barrett, friend organist of the National Baptist Church 125th street, as accompanist, sang the Handelata, where they were to come on the garden Maud," for his concert group, and on a second appearance giving Penn's "The dammit hour" and in Italian, that beautiful Tosti number, "Lultima cazone" ("The Last Song") An encore brought Burleighs "Go down, Moses," and at end of the program, a special request was made for a repitation of the Tosti song—delightfully and effectively sung by Mr. Bradley.
Matee Chatman's opening number was from Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiwaina's Welding Feast," the soprano aria, "Spring is come," with which she associated "I'd be a butterfly" by Bayley, and "Rain" by Curran. A second number was the gipay queen's lilt from Thomas's "Mignon"—"he suis, Titania" (I'm, fair Titania); sung in French, the charming grace and attractiveness of this rendition stirred enthusiastic approval and this was responded to with Ardus "El bafal," Miss Lydia Mason, holder of a fellowship for the third year for study of the piano, with the Juilliard Musical Foundation, was the accompanist.
Mr. Poole, sang one group, with Mr. White at the piano, his offering consisting of Del Riego's "Art thou Weary" and Barleigh's "Deep River." Notwithstanding that his ailment was exceedingly troublesome, Mr. Poole sang with forceful effect.
Mrs. Caffey made a brief announcement concerning Child Labor Day, and Miss Grassi graciously thanked the artists and audience for their interest.

How many of us think of Henry Gladstone Marshall?
Do you remember Him? Yes, he is still alive and active, with more, hardness than he can easily handle. Still fashioning the young to the players and musicians, as he did a decade ago.
He celebrated his 50th birthday on January 24, just past.
H. G. M. had the reputation of being the first an to make N. A. M. A. players play a "first time" measure. The habit was to snear the measure and scramble back to his double dots, But. no sneeer! With Mazellah you had to "bring" that first reading and go back clean.
In combarr Chupper, who was killed in Paris? Mazellah taught him his first note and was in-this teacher until he blossomed forth an excellent piano players, to go to Paris, recently, meeting an fortunate, tragic and untimely end at the age of 26.
Allie Ross, the late Tracey Cooper, Leonard Smith, Iaey Mayer, Jap Foster, Finday, Morris, Hugh Davis, and a host of others through his instrumentality! got into the business, and many a dollar he has paid them for their services.
Hope Day, Lucy Laney League, Utopia, Mills, Mille Dancing Dolla, and societies, were his patrons, with him conducting their concerts and the succeeding dances.
James Reese Europe: Ed. Brown
Hughie Woolford, the Clef Club, used

Monarch Elks To Give 21st Annual Ball At The New Madisor Sq. Garden. Feb. 16
H. G. M. met with a serious accident, which crippled him for several years, and cost him a distressing sum of money. Leaving the wristy by the side entrance, he triumphed and fell over a plank workman had left there, injuring his kneecap, which brought on complications, and at one time his life was endangered.
But a "Badian" is hard to kill, and to the extent he once had he ever did, and is so spectacular, though u.g. a cane in the street to protect his knee.
He devohes his entire time to teaching—from a banjo to a pipe organ—and is buoyed from jigging till night.
Quiet, taunting, genteel, a good scout, always willing to help the initiated or the uninitiated. To the era of prosperity which fell so many a mutual credit is due to the energy, sacrifice and training of Henry Gladstone. Marshall.

This day brings back memories
Of the one who was called to rest

For memory is the duly friend
That grief can call its own
‘The flowers T place upon her grave
May wither and decay
But love for her who sleeps beneath
Will never fade away
When days are dark and friends
Are fe dear mother how T long, for
you. -
You are not forgotten mother dear.
Nor ever will you be
For as long as hfe and memory last,
T will remember ther.
