ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL TO BE OPENED IN HARLEM
P.
St. Martin's, a New Episcopal Church, To Be Opened In Harlem On Feb.19 By Bishop Wm. Manning
Rev. John Howard Johnson To Be In Charge As Vicar, and Church Will Offer Community and Welfare Service Of a Wide Range
A notable addition to church activities in Harlem will come with the dedication on Sunday, February 19, of the St. Martin's P. E. Chapel at Lenox avenue and 122nd street, with the Rev. John Howard Johnson as vicar.
For two years past, plans have been forming for the establishment of this work, surveys of the neighborhood having been made in connection with census reports by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. and the New York Urban League. Valuable information as to residential complexation of the neighborhood has been contributed by the Jewish Federation of Charities.
St. Martin's is being made possible through the patronage and assistance of the Right Rev. William T. Manning Episcopal Bishop of New York; the New York Protestant Episcopal City Mission Society, and the pastor, wardens and vestymen of Holy Trinity P. E. Church, which formerly owned and occupied the massive stone structure, the congregation moving to another city, destroys a fire which did much damage to the east wing of the building on the 122nd street side.
School, at Columbia University, where he was awarded both A.B. and A.M. degrees and at the General Theological Seminary, where he finished his theological course in 1922. He made quite a reputation in athletics while at Columbia having been a star center on the Varsity Five for two or three seasons.
Referring to the new work he is taking up, Rev. Johnson said that "St. Martin's is planned to be a church home, offering a Christian welcome to all, teaching the Word of God with simplicity tenderness and liberality. All are invited to come to his church."
SPRING PRIMARY FOR DELEGATES SET FOR APRIL 2
St. Martin's congregation will, for the present, use the west wing, facing on Lentox avenue, and, until reconstructed, will devote the barred section to playground and other community needs.
150. Are Enrolled.
Some 150 persons, have already enrolled themselves with Vicar Johnson, pledging their support to the new endeavor. The fact that there is only one other large Episcopal church activity in Harlem—the St. Philip's Church—indicates that the church is likely not expected to meet. The Harlem section below 125th street has steadily become a residential site for colored families. In fact, within the past two years the entire neighborhood has changed in that respect.
Private homes ranging in price from 20,000 to $30,000, have been purchased by Negroes in the cross streets, and in the blocks from 109th to 119th streets. Fifth and Eighth avenues, and on the East Side as well, many apartment houses have been turned over to Negro tenancy. This influx was marked sometime ago by the moving of Mt Olivet Baptist Church from 53rd street to the corner of 125th street and Lenox avenue. For the white owner's associations made strenuous and determined efforts to keep Negro homesseekers above 125th street. But all such efforts were unavailing and irresistible and natural population expansion caused by increased numbers of the race coming to New York. Homesites remaining in the neighborhoods are only one percent pleased with the result, but they have awakened to a realization of the fact that they can hardly help themselves.

Church services of succeeding Sundays will include holy communion at 8 a.m. Sunday school at 9.20 a.m., prayer and sermon at 11 a.m., evening and address at 4:30 p.m.
The church program plans to meet Harlen's needs, religiously, educationally, and socially, and to this end it is intended to operate play grounds for the committees, with the church as a community center, and to conduct play school of religious education. Vicar Johnson is at the room from 8 to 10 p.m., and will meet members and friends in the parish.
The new sermon is one of the longer group of ministers in the Church, the son of the John Wesley Johnson, vicar of Corinthian's Chapel, West 63rd and the Columbus Hill section and assisted his father as a teacher and a half years. He was in deeper charge of activities among the best serving also as coach to the athletic teams.

Henderson, N. C.-Authorities at Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C, have issued a statement concerning the student's strike on January 29, in which it is charged that outside influences, prejudiced because of Kittrell's growth, was partly responsible for the affair.

The board of trustees held a special meeting an thoroughly approved of the president's action and gave him a vote of confidence.

TOWN STIRRED AS WHITE GIRL PLANS WEDDING COLORED Sensational Stories In Newspapers, As Ministers Take Sides
Rockville, Conn.—The insertion of a simple marriage notice in the paper has resulted in stirring the entire community, since it concerned Miss Beatrice Fuller, a 19-year-old white girl who is towed Clarence Kellem, who happens to be a Negro. Miss Fuller, said to be a descendant of a family that came to the new world on the Mayflower, is the daughter of Mrs. Helen Taylor of High street, and her proposed marriage is thoroughly approved by her mother.
Information concerning the marriage was brought out when the couple filed application for a marriage license, which, under the state law, has to be done five days before the ceremony can be performed. The Rev. George S. Brookes of the Union Congregational Church, was named as the onetime minister. Katherine of the old a white mother and a Negro father, and is well thought of in the community. He refused to discuss the matter. Miss Fuller was emplastic in denouncing the newspapers for the sensational manner in which they treated a mere marriage, announcement which gave no information about the contracting parties.
The marriage was set for Tuesday, February 7. Other ministers of the city were of varying opinions. One, the Rev. H. B. Olmstead, an Episcopalian, declared there ought to be a law against it, and the Rev. J. Garfield Sallis of the M. E. Church, in opposition to it, John S. of the Fifth Evangetical Lutheran Church, declared with strong emphasis that he would willingly perform the ceremony if called upon.
Notwithstanding the hue and cry, the couple were married at 1 a.m. Tuesday, February 7, by justice of the Peace Carl Gerring of Ellington, Gaun. The Congregationalist, Peter Keys Brookes, had promised to officiate, was not willing to do so until the time originally stipulated, so Kellum and Miss Fuller applied to the Justice, who came to the home of the groom's stepmother, a white woman.
A large group of friends, white men, and women, asked to see them off on their honeymoon, which is being spent at Atlantic City and Philadelphia.

Capitalized At $1,500,000,and Will Use Actors and Actresses of Both Races In Giving World Story of Race Development
The Eureka Film Corporation, recently organized with a $1,500,000 capitalization, will soon start feature productions in New York, using a mixed cast of white and colored actors, depicting achievements of the Negro race in their true light, thereby perpetuating the accomplishments of the Negro.
According to Ted J. Bevis, director, technician and production manager of the corporation, the purpose of the company is to present only stories that have for their purpose the visualization of the Ngroes' achievement in the world. In an interview with a reporter of The Age, Mr. Bevis said "The organizers realize fully that owing to the fact that the achievements of the race throughout the world and especially in the United States, have brought them into contact with all the different races of the world, it would be impossible to correctly and coherently tell the stories of their hopes and Vision points, their romances and their achievements without using the other-associates, and particularly the type of individuals with whom they are brought into contact.
An Educational Institution
The motion picture theatre has become to a large extent an educational as well as an amusement institution. There are 1,000 attendants to the theatre where there is only one devotee of the public library. In the United States, there are about 15,000,000 Negroes, and there are over 500 theatres devoted exclusively to their patronage, with over three million paid admissions weekly. To date none of the present organized producers have made any effort to cater especially to this patronage or produce for them pictures depicting their profession. The Eureka Film Corporation is especially organized for this purpose and, realising that their productions must be so perfectly produced as to withstand criticism, have gathered together substantial men who, by virtue of their experience in the motion picture industry, can be called to produce pictures of outstanding quality.
The promoters of the Eureka Film Corporation have taken great care in the conduct of their business so as to guarantee as far as possible the successful operation of their business. They devoted a lot of research and investigation here and contract with H. George and Company, Inc., investment bankers, under whose direction the completion of their financing will be done. The first productions will start in New York City under the direction of Herschel Mayall in the near future. Mr. Mayall is reviewing prospective screen talent, preparatory to the organization of the foundation stock company.
Studio In New Mexico.
The company has acquired a studio site in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on which it will erect a modern studio equipped with every up-to-date device which is required in motion picture production. Activision work on the erection of the studio has been completed, however, until the company has produced about three pictures in New York. In addition to the studio the company will have a school where prospective actors and actresses of both races will be schooled in all the essentials of the motion picture art.
The utility of the stock issue has been passed upon and 220,000 shares of stock will be offered to the general public for subscription. The lawyers, engaged by the firm of H. R. George and Company, to pass on the legality of the issue were Attorneys Jackson W. Sparer of Cincinnati, Ohio, Harold S. Baskin of New York, City, and Matthew Phillip of the law firm of Anderson, Phillips and Most of New York City.
H. R. George and Company, Inc. well known investment bankers, of 2298 Seventh avenue, New York City, will offer the stock issue of the general public. It is expected that there will be such a demand issue by the countless satisfied clients the firm will necessitate increasing the already large sales force of the company. The Eureka Film Corporation has already won the endorsement of high government officials and leaders of thought. Scenarios will be passed upon and judged by the advisory board composed of members of both races. Hugh R. George, N. B. Y. Cairns, whose direction the financing of the corporation will proceed, is chairman of the advisory board.

Odd Reactions From Color Prejudice In Southern Sections
The peculiar reactions from color prejudice bring about odd contradictory situations. Recently, Miss Lilian Brown, who has been playing the United vaudeville time with the team of Powers & Wallace for several years, worked through the South until she reached Atlanta without meeting any trouble. But when the woman manager of the Majestic Theatre in Atlanta saw Miss Brown behind the stage and learned she was part of the act, there was an immediate irritation. No Negro should play in her house, the manager played the result was that Powers & Wallace cancelled the act and returned to New York, refusing to allow their co-worker to be further humiliated.
Another similar incident was enacted in Baltimore recently, when the "Merry Go Round" revue was booked at one of the big movie houses. The Pan-American Four, a colored quartet, has been with this show some two or three years, and before going to Baltimore had played in Washington. But the Baltimore house management raised a show about the Negro singers, and the result was another cancellation of dates and a switch in the revue's booking.
A NEW ORLEANS STORY.
In decided contrast to these incidents story from the New Orleans, telling how little Nego Brass, drumming on pots and pans, were taken from the street by Ben Black, conductor of the orchestra and master of ceremonies at the New Saenger Theatre, a $4,000,000 playhouse, and by their performance literally stopped the show in that exclusive amusement house. Mel Washburn, writing in one of the New Orleans' papers, tells the story. He says that Mr. Black heard the boys playing on the street and was so impressed by their weird drumming that he took them into the theatre.
The audience, when asked by Black, gave prompt approval to bringing the boys on the stage, from which no Negro performer had ever performed, and the result was that the boys, with their vigorous recall or preparation, were whisked from the street to headliner fame, for the people went wild over their performance. Says Washburn, in his recital;
"In the words of the veteran performer, 'they panicked 'em and how. So two little black Cinderella boys were borne to the stage of the South in one of the strangest debuts known to a world of make-believe and whimsy, and to white stage" in Dixie without rehearsal and they panicked "an audience that is known throughout Dixie as 'hard to please.'"

Many of you have heard of Jay J. Thomas before and of his being publicity director for Walk Miller (who manages a stable of great Negro battlers). Jay Thomas is well known in sporting circles and writes fluently on this particular branch of sport. I recently dropped in to see Jay-Bird and, we began to talk on that on sport. "Did the present group of battlers ask the old driers?" asked Well, Ted is interesting to note that many arguments advanced in (avow of each and the admirers are inexorable in their opinions). In a recent discussion with Earle Leiderman and here's the famous physical culturer's idea: "With all due respect to the old masters of the past, I firmly believe and am convinced that the present boxers are superior. This. I know in the face of the remarkable feature of Pilot Corr. McAuliffe, Ryan, Brian McAuliffe and countless others is a statement that will call for more convincing proof than the more venturing of an opinion.
"First, from the day' of the world's beginning, we can trace on thru the ages the progress of all things, some more rapidly of course than others, but they have advanced, all of them, in some manner." We read how primitive man lived, and not being satisfied we conditioned his life to follow a gradual stages of advancement, has led to all inventions and improvements we see on every hand today.
"Naturally, boxing, once held in ill repute by most folks, has been invaded by all types and classes of men, colleges, army, navy, in fact every walk of life has contributed. Where there were hundreds of professional boxers in the early days of our civilization and few of us will not grant, that competition whets the appetite for improvement in all things."
"So, I believe that with literate inadvertences of large financial returns, modern equipment for practice and protection, a better knowledge of diet, training methods and the keep brain of modern youth, the game has advanced and the rules have made it more a question of science than strength and endurance, the gloves less opportunity for injuries, the shorter distance of limited contests have made the mobs more active, knowing they will have to win in stipulated time.
"Yes, the Demuscles, Leonard's Grass, Termes, Dillon's Langlords, look better to me and there are many more, and I believe that the next fifty years will see even better"
Tell Me Where Can That Somebody Be
Whether or not the Associated Basketball Club League will ban the playing of Stretch Hill because of his recent appearance in a Renaissance uniform, seems to be the topic of conversation in local sports circles. New York's franchise? General Bob Douglas, manager of the Rens is too good a sport to ruin the chances of this crack player in amateur circles. The writer took notice that none of the local scribes mentioned the playing of Hill in the contest against the Whirlwinds. It was no secret (and, out of curiosity, no doubt), that Stretch Grant) there is not another player so well-known. And, anytime lacked Dedrick announces them THEY ARE KNOWN. Stretch Hill should have been given a hand. Regardless of the outcome for be played and played Stretch Hill (which could take Stretch Hill place) could have to take well and Pres.

"The Woman on Trial"
At Roosevelt Theatre
A woman's picture is coming to the Roosevelt Theatre Saturday, Sunday, Monday. It is called "The Woman on Trial."
From reports it tells a crucial story in which all women of all races and climes confront the world with a problem of love, honor and motherhood and ask—understanding.
Fortunately this difficult and absorbing role is in the hands of a great dramatist—many call her the greatest—Pola-Negri.

The theme of "The Woman on Trial" is taken from "Confession," a noteworthy stage play by Ernest Vajda, Hungarian dramatist. It concerns the sacrifices a woman makes in the name of love. Caring deeply for one man who is deathly wounded, another to money to restore the first to health. When her child by the loveless marriage is taken from her through a jealous and deceitful scheme she runs true to the instincts of woman and motherhood to regain the happiness of which she has been cheated.

FIGHT AGAINST INTOLERANCE,
‘The tragic death of Dr. John Spencer
Bassett, who was struck by a street car
in Washington last-week, was told in ‘the
news column of The Age, with special
reference to the storm caused by his ar-
ticle placing Booker T, Washington next
to Robert E, Lee as among the South's
pre-eminent public men. This was just
after the publication of the story that
Dr, Washington had taken lunch with
President Roosevelt. Prof. Bassett was
at the time a member of the faculty of
‘Trinity College, North Carolina, now
known as Duke University. There was
widespread indignation among Southern
whites over Prof, Bassett's article and a
great claifor for his dismissal from his
post. . :
The full story of tle fight was told
by Dr. Edwin Mims in his book, “The
Advancing South,” but the college stuck
by Prof. Bassett, although he placed his
resignation in the hands of the trustees
Despite . the intense feeling” aroused
against him, both students and faculty
opposed the acceptance of his resigna-
tion, As told in the Greensboro Daily
News, Dr. Kilgo, the president of the
college, espoused the canse of Prof. Bas-
sett, claiming that the college could not
‘be hurt more fatally than by enthroning
‘coercion and intolerance. ‘The trustees
ultimately refused to accept the resigna-
tion by a vote of cighteen to seven. The
News said editorially:
‘The effect of that stern struggle lives to
this day. Dr, Bassett himself went three
years later to Smith college. He was out.of
sympathy with math of the spirit of the
state then, as Walter Page had been, and
was not the type-of man to keep hig mouth
shut about what ho thought. But it is part
of the tribute to the man that in many re-
spects. the thought of the state has come
around to him, And if he had done nothing
else, his role in the great fight Trinity col-
lege made for a vital principle of every educa
* tional institution would have left his mark
fon the state.
It is the example of such men as Prof,
Bassett that affords ground for the hope
that the South may ultimately be re-
deemed from its bondage to coercion and
intolerance. ‘True, he felt obliged ulti
mately to leave his native state to seek
more congenial surroundings, where he
could express his liberal opinions with
out arousing a storm of protest anc
condemnation, But, if we are to eredi
the editor of the News, his example ba;
not been without its influence in abaung
something of the spirit of intolerance
which he defied. The South needs more
men like Prat, Bassett, who can be mack
lo feel that it awill be safe and pleasan!
for them to retain there and indulge ir
their Kberality uf thought and speech
{tis indubitably true that North Caro
lina has made perceptible strides in this
direction during the twenty years o
wore since the furor raised by Prof
Bassett's candid utterances, But ther
is still room fur further progress befuré
the advancing South can be truly hailes
as a reality, instead of a promise of bet
ter things. . .
PIONEERING FOR PEARY.
| The Congress of the United States has
‘seen fit from time to time to award med-
als to certain individuals, for meritorious
service or exceptional performance of one
sort of another. It is therefore not with-
out precedent that a Congressman from
Brooklyn should introduce a bill provid-
ing for 4 medal to be awarded Matthew
A, Henson, the onl} living man who tas
actually set.foot upon the spot, where
the North pole is located. ‘This state-
ment is, of course, predicated upon the
belief that the late Admiral Peary was
correct in his calculations, and not count-
ing. the party of Fsquimos who accom-
panied Peary and Hensoiw-on their last
dash to the Pole. ‘
_ A zealnus advocate of some oficial
recognition of the part that Henson
played in the discovery of the Pole, has
advanced ‘the following argument in fav-
gr of such action by Congress ::
‘The disvovery. of the North Pole war a
prodigious feat that had been attempted again
and. again for the past three hundred years
“Wcestablished the fact that a Negto, or
colored man, can stand ay inuch good old pep:
pery cold, of fifty-six to sixty degrees below
zero, a8 the white man. :
‘The expedition added to our bathymetrical,
tidal, meteorological, geological and glacial
information, Never before has science
known that there is a great oceanic basin in
the Nurth Pole region, For three hundred
miles Henson, dogs and Peary traveled over
Wee; pibilug “oves'prenbisres ia ig es
“ote yThere ate smeteorites~ in the: Natural
History Museum, that Heiisdn belped to get.
‘That Henson was tlie’ piorieer ‘jn’ ‘the
advance toward the Pole is testified 'by
frequent citations from the’ history of, the
expedition, written, by Admiral * Peary,
entitled {The North Pole,” from which
the following passages are quoted:
“Henson at once received instructions to
get, away early the next, mofning, with his
SMaton of Eaquimas, sledges, to floneer ine
road for the next five marches.” Page 2}.
“Henson pioneered.” Page 31i,
“Henson was the best man I had with me.”
1 “Years of Arctic experience.” Page 172,
“Henson helps Peary= to select the Es-
quimos.” Page 73. ee .
— _,"Peary after striking Henson's trail and
after a good long march reached Henson's
igloo.” Page 14,
“Temperature, sixty degrees below zero.”
Page 115,
“Storm and making: it impossible go. sec
Henson's trail.” Page 23.
7 “Iminediately started Henson ‘off with his
men, to push ahead.” Page 129. .
+ “Henson left with a pioneer party. Cap-
tain, Hartlett and his party followed the next
ay. "
“Themen sent out on Henson's trail—after
striking Henson's trail reached Hensun’s
igloo.” -
/ “Henson tried in years of Arctic experience
proved its worth.” Page 279,
The diligent reader of the book con-
tended that the above quotations show
that Hengon was able to use the sextant
and other instruments in finding his way
“He ' pioneered and pioneered Peary,
Bartlett, and the others followed.”
Our <ofresponent seems to have made
out a pretty good case for Henson on
the testimony of the leader of the expe-
dition, Admiral Peary himself, who wor
his rank with retirement at high pay, be-
‘cause of his exploits in the Arctic reg-
ions. By the same process of reasoning,
Henson should at least be entitled te
receive a, medal and promotion to some
post in the Customs service, where his
compensation may requite him for the
hardships and perils of his Arctic exper-
ences,
A WIDOW'S PENSION.
| Under the dispensation of a govern-
ment that is sometimes just, but more
rarely generous, the widow of the late
Colonel Charles Young is receiving a
pension of less than seventy-five dollars
a month. This amount is stated ta, be
inadequate for her personal needs, ‘to say
nothing of supporting and educating two
children, Mrs. Young has made several ef-
forts to have this compensation increased,
but it will require special legislation on
the part of Congress to unlock the doors
of the Treasury for that purpose.”
‘There is ample precedent for such leg:
Lislation, as is shown by the fact that the
wites of many officers, who were cited
for less distinguished service than Col:
onet Young, are receiving -pensions run:
ning as,high as two hundred and fifty
dollars"a month. ‘The case of Colonel
Young is deserving of special considera:
tion. After a service of many years, he
progressed from the grade oi second
Hicutenant to that of colonel but was
never assigned tothe command of a éegi:
ment. Tihough some hocus pocus he
was négsebied from taking an active par
in the World war and was kept inactive
in this country. After the, war he wa:
sent fo Liberia to'reorganize the -militia
where” hee contracted the illness thal
proved fatal, °
It is too fate for the Gaverment t
accord justice to Colonel Young, whi
was denied the opportunity to. exercis
the rank that he had-justly won througi
years of devoted service. ‘There remains
yet the upportunity for the Governmen
to deal fairly, if not generously, by the
widow of Colonel Young, by paying he
an adequate allowance for herself and t
support and educate her children. “Thi
ix the least the government should de
by way of reparation for the injustic
practiced against Colonel Young, fron
the time that he entered West Point t
his untimely death in West Africa.

A well filled church greeted the Rev. A. C. Garner last Sunday morning, in the first sermon after the revival that lasted through two Sundays. He spoke on "Prophets that have been since the world began." After appropriate remarks by way of introduction, the pastor paid a tribute to the prophets of Judea, stating that they were more than sets, more than future tellers—they were spirit filled men of action. They were bold denouncers of wrong; they were accurate interpreters of God's providences, but they were not always with the nation which they were a part. There were prophets before them, e.g. Moses and Samuel—but even we will have to go back to the time when truth, emotion and conscience were doing prophetic duty to get the full sense of the text. The sermon was made entertaining by some live illustrations and a pointed personal allusion on conscience.
An appeal for decisions to join the Christian Army was responded to by Miss Louise M. Hill, Mrs. Lucile Robertson and Frank Reed. The communion was celebrated. The trustees announced a plan of work for Easter, the choir sang well; a few hymns and an anthem. The serum was followed by the funeral of the late Clarence Ponton Jones, known to the musical men as "Diecello" Jones. Dr. Garner delivered the eulogy. The Manhattan Lodge of Leks, held a beautiful service. In this service, Bryant's "Thanatopus" and "Gray's Elegy," were well recited. The Church School was conducted by superintendent J. E. Reid. The attendance was large. The pastor assigned prelentors tasks to teachers. The Boy Scouts' of Grace Church, Troop No. 774, announced its participation. Boy Scouts held an afternoon and field at the 360th Infantry Armory on February 11. Sunday night, Dr. Garner
oh "Crowding out the Christ."
The pastor announced that next Sunday being Race Relations Sunday, he had agreed to exchange pulpits and choirs with the Rev. Dr. Edward W. Cross of Union Congregational Church of Richmond Hill. This is the first time such an effort has been tried by Grace Church and probably also by Union Church. Union Church is served by an excellent quartet. These will sing at Grace Church next Sunday. Dr. Cross is an able clergyman. Service begins promptly at I. a. m. Dr. Garner's choir, led by Miss Olyve L Jeter, will represent Grace Church at Richmond Hill.
St. Paul Bapt. Church
Monday night the board of trustees met in the church buildings, and, though they did not tarry long yet, the biggest amount of business, from a financial point of view, ever done by the church, was done at that meeting.
Wednesday night, the pastor was on the program of the B. Y. P. talk to the young people "The Young People" and he pointed out some essential things in connection with this theme. After the address a collation of ice cream and cake was served to all present, and a delightful social hour spent.
Friday night the people were out praying as never before, for all seem to have caught the spirit of enterprise, and they were earnestly telling the Lord all about it.
Sunday the pastor was assisted at both morning and evening services by emulate Harry Williams, who concluded "the entire preliminary service."
The choir was out, and Mrs. Booker, its leader, after an illness of two weeks, was in her place.
the pastor praised in the morning on, "A Divided House." In the evening he spoke on "Prayer For The Spirit."
The plans of the new church were presented to the trustees and the building committee on Thursday night, and, to the least, they are really marvelous. When the people were told of these plans, and the pastor announced that a model of the new church be made, enthusiasm ran high.
Arrangements are being made to have a series of evangelistic meetings in celebration of the 32nd anniversary, instead of other kinds of services.
Mrs. Mary Thomas and daughter were out to the service in the evening for the first time since the funeral of Deacon Jack Thomas, her husband.
First Emmanuel Church
At the 11 o'clock service: Sunday,
Pastor. Bolden伸摘 from the
text: "And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wit ye not that I, must be about my Father's business?"
Not every one you sniffles at you is your friend. No one is your friend who fills you with gossip, prejudice, malice or hatred against another. Organized churches are not always institutions of friends. They should
be, though secret societies, while they serve a human benefit, may be regarded spiritually as works of the Devil, leading the people ignorantly along the wrong way. You can have all, the encouragement you want from people in any vocation, but for example, if you have not trained for it, you may not succeed. You can have a watch thatoots hundreds of dollars, but if it does not keep time, it will do you no good.
Jesus as a 'boy' learned to know His business. He did not spend His time in the剧院, pool-soons and dance halls. He early realized His purpose in life. Young folks should have a purpose in life. Decide now what you want to do. Discover that you have some business. Then discover who you are working for. Ask for a job and something. He said, "Wind your nose that I must be about my Father's business?" They had searched all over for Him, and the place they last looked and least expected to find Him. He was there, among the Sanhedrin, talking to these learned men, doctors, lawyers and philosophers, asking them questions and answering and astounding them with answers. You should not let people press down your spirit. Many people will go gossip about Jesus Jesus taught His mother about supervision over His spirit or soul it belonged to His heavenly Father. What He did say to his mother was a loving rebuke.
Parents make grave mistakes when they attempt to direct their children's spiritual thoughts and high aspirations; when they themselves lack divine life and spiritual understanding. Pious and right living parents, while doing their full duty by their children and realizing their great responsibility in caring for them and training them into the best life that the conscious uninvolvement of the conscious uninvolvement of Our Father God's relation to His conscious child in their charge. This child, our Lord Jesus the Emanuel, was a human-divine child with a plus understanding and realization and this He demonstrated not only to the Sandhern, but to his parents, kindred and neighbors in Nazareth, His home town. May you hearers and believers allow the Holy Spirit to make known to you that our heavenly Father has sent you into the world of human sense on a mission to bless you for Him* and that as true ambassador of God we should be about it and encourage youth and all other children of humanity to trust our heavenly Father God the Almighty and obey His will.
At 2 p. m., the Sunnyk-school was opened by the assistant superintendent, Miss Maggie Johnson. At 4:30 p. m., the literary hour, memorial services were held in memory of Mrs. Alice Wooding and Mrs. W. B. Robinson, by the members of the Life, Liberty and Happiness Society. The program was as follows: Paper, Mrs. B. E. Robinson; solo, Miss W. Plummer; paper, Miss Maggie Johnson; solo, Miss D. Small; solo, Mrs. M. Barrow. Address by Rev. Bolden, extolling the life of Mrs. Wooding and Mrs. Watta. The service, the Rev. Joseph Folden preached to the many assembled. His text were 69th Psalms, 20th verse, and Revelations 7:14. This sermon was inspiring to the many that heard it.
Emanuel A. M. E. Church
Sunday was a successful day at Emanuel Church. At the morning service the pastor preached from the subject: "The Return of the Ransomed to Zion." Seven persons joined the church. One of the largest crowds in the history of the church was present.
"The Missionary Society held its regular meeting at 4 o'clock. A number of visitors were present, particularly from the Union Baptist Church.
During light service was conducted at 8 p.m. Fifty-one persons were received into full communion of the church.
On next Sunday morning the pastor will speak on the "Scirlet Thread in the Window." At the evening service the presiding elder, Rev. M. W. Thornton, will be present and preach.
St. James Pres. Church
The regular communion service for the month of February was attended by a large crowd. The communion choral service was solemn and impressive. More than a dozen new members who joined the church since the last communion, either by letter or confession of faith, were given the right hand of fellowship and welcomed into the church. The session was assisted in the distribution of the holy communion by a visiting elder, Capt. John Edgar Smith of Washington, D. C. At the evening service the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor concluded the conclusion of Christian Undeaver week by having their annual service.
On February 8, at the mid-week prayer service, the Rev. Beeson Y Landle Ph D of the Federal Council of Churches spoke on "The Church, Research," and on "The 15th of December in the General Assembly," Dr. Robert E. Spher will be the speaker. The subject "Christian Missions and Inter-racial Good Will" To all of these services the public is cordially invited.
Refuge Church of Christ
Sunday morning the attendance was good as usual. Elder T. R. White preached from 1st Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith,

my hold on eternal life, because thou art called, and had professed a good profession before many, witheses: "Those who will, will go through Jesus, must fight their way. They must be held off, filled with the flesh, and the opposing powers, of darkness, but victory is sure to them that, put their trust in Jesus; for the battle in the Lord's. The apostle Paul came in contact with Timothy, a young man, doubled not experienced in many things, being young in the ministry, but afterwards he becomes first bishop of the Church of Ephesus, Paul, a father in the gospel, exhorteth this young man how to fill the office of a bishop, and what is expected of him, and how he should govern himself, and mind the gospel, Godly people must fight opposition; they must do well and yet expect at the same time to suffer ill. Take, for example, the rulers, leaders and statesmen, the gener. of the armies, they have the opposing powers politically and nationally to rebuff, and fight their foes. Julius Caesar was great as a general, yet greater, if possible as a statesman. He held to fight politically to win out. Though he had his Brutus, he pressed over all obstacles and stands in history as one who would win in this Christian fight to win in this Christian life. Paul saw it. Therefore he exhorteth Timothy to "fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on 'eternal life.'"
At the evening service, Eld. Ed. elevated preachers from Isaiah, 2:10. Enter into the Rock, and hide these Inns. In the Rock, and hide these Inns, and the glory of His Majesty." This

"God's Call For Radiant 'Christians' was the subject of Dr. Oliver's discourse, taken from text found in 60th chapter of Isaiah, 1st verse. "To be radiant is to be bright." The command addressed to Christ's followers was to "Arise, Christ's followers, to be significant to the Christian man or woman. The order is first to "Arise" and then to "Shine." The brightest lights are those that are kept trimmed and clean. This also applies to the light that must shine in a Christian's life. The Christian must be on the alert, live a clean life, one that the community will look upon. The Christian's call for people must be beeded. We must give ourselves in complete devotion. That the

Sunday was a glorious, Sabbath, the sunshine gilded every possible space the city round, and the day was a restful, only of the beautiful springtime.
Arounded by the glorious atmosphere, seeking according to the glory, to the strengthened with, by His spirit, and yielding somewhat to the custom and, the Sabbath, a large congregation heard the pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown, Sunday morning on "The Ability of Your God to Deliver." Surely the Master's glory was reflected in his servant as he spoke with the spirit of true faith, from the Holy Book of knowledge from the Holy Book of knowledge.
Infant baptism was observed at the close of this service, and several babies were christened.
The Sunday school, with an attendance past the four hundred mark, was favored with the presence of the district superintendent, F. G. Mitchell, who was filled with advanced ideas which will aid in the making of bigger and better church schools, and a very excellent talk from him, who enjoyed the evening service and spoke on the "Association With Jesus." A number of additions were made to the church membership during the day.
Bridge St. A. M. E. Church
"The truth is the only thing that counts, be it in temporal or spiritual life and yet there are those who do not want to be told the real truth, even though they realize that the truth is the only thing that can save them". This was one of the high points of the sermon of the pastor, Dr. dwain Sewell, on Friday morning, February 5. He was speaking on the topic "Withheld Sayings". The text was St. John 16:12.
The pastor prefaced his sermon with a vivid word picture of Jesus' last days on earth, when He, having power, did not use it, for He wanted to pass through the same life as Jesus His followers. He also told how Christ sought to prepare His followers for this and seeing that all did not have the proper conception of His Kingdom He told them, "I have yet many things to say unto you but ye cannot bear them now to hear the truth so you could hear the truth for they had not reached that mental and spiritual state where they could bear the real truth. The same condition prevails today. But we are not real friends if we are willing to tell our friends the real truth about themselves when it is for their best interests.
Other points in the sermon were: The kingdom will not grow by force, but when it enters us. He who is gripped to the extent that he is willing to cooperate should be willing to cooperate with God. We should not be selfish in joining church, that is, we should not join because we want to save our souls, or are afraid of divine wrath, but should join because we want to devote our divine plan, render service, and make the world a better place to live in.
We have not reached the place where we can fit into the divine plan unless we have reached the point where we can love our enemies.
Fourteen persons joined the church.
At the evening services the members of the senior choir, of which Mrs. Lavinia Myers is the organist-directed, rendered a splendid musical and literary program. There were several anthems and Spirituals on the program. Solos were played by the bassists Elizabeth Drayton, Mosely Moseley, Turle M. Brown sang a bass and Lawrence-Fields played an organ voluntary. Mrs. M. V. J Walker and Mrs. A. Lce gave dramatic readings, which were delivered in a fine manner, Mrs. M. O. M. Matheson read a paper on the rise and progress of the A. M. E. Church. It showed that she had made an extended research and was written in a literary style. A quartet composed by the choral club sang several Spirituals in a very pleasing manner. Walter Burton, a trustee and president of the choir, acted as master of ceremonies.
A church school for religious instruction was formed recently. It meets every Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Leah Williams is principal. Among the teachers are Misses Lucille Cromer, Gwendolyn Walker, Beissie Robinson and Miriam Rivens. The annual fair this year will be from February 20 to 24.
Next Sunday, Founder's Day and
The Rev. Dr. Henry Proctor, filled his pulpit at the services last Sunday. At morning hour he made a plea for the response to the great friendship in Christ which he held, to vowel the supreme sacrifice, the supreme duty and the supreme privilege. At the evening hour he filled his pulpit with the Book of Revelation speaking in "The Vision of the Breaking of the Seven Seals." Reveling the secret of the "little book he held that it was the assurance of the victorious Christ in the afflicted men.

Moorland on "Frederick Dumass."
Siloam Presbyterian
The beautiful weather and the occasion of the beginning of the ninth year of the pastorate of the George Shippen Stark both intended to add to the unusually large tendance at the morning hour worship at Siloam. The servants were in the keeping with the anniversary. A organ recital of testimony by William A. White, organ director, was rendered from 2010 to 11 o'clock, Mrs. Edith M. Cohen rendered a solo which was enriched by all.
The pastor took the text of the message from Ephesius, 211 stressing the church as a glorious institution, glorious because it affects the glory of Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ shall be the in spite of all questioning and arrests the churchary. A summary revealed the fact that the membership had increased at a steady and rapid rate and the church stands in the first rank of Presbyterian churches. Residence was made to the number of baptisms, marriages, and doctrines. The following persons were received into the membership of the church: Joseph Longman, Joseph Longman of 349 Clifton place, Miss Mahel Alvaranga, 34 Jefferson avenue.

Cmedy-Drama of Negro
Life By Frank Wil

A small but distinguished audi-
ence journeyed to the’ Princess

the premier of “Mcek Mose.” the
new comedy-drama on Negro life
by Prank Wilson who is now star-
ring in “Porgy” The new show
way presented. by Lester A. Wal-
ton, who for many years has
sough: to present the Jess vicious
elements of the Negrd life to the
theatre going public. Mr Wilson's
play is a step forward in this di-
rection, in that it hax no crap
shooting. no scenes of debauchery
and ro Negro killing someone or
being Iynched. [tis a faithful
stdy of 2 man who took the Bible
literally and tried to live by its
creeds especially «that Reatitud=
wirich says, “Blessed are the meck
for they shall inherit the earth.”
| Mr. Wilson weakens his third
act so that this biblical injunction
can be fullilled, but in general
the performance is a worthy and
interesting one. Jt revolves about
a colored section of a town in
Tams. The white citizens of this
toww. want to get control of this
section because, the Negroes have
made it une of the most valuable
parts of the city. They start con-
demnation procedings ‘against the
Negro property owners, with the
idea’ of forcing them ‘to move to
an outlying and swampy _ sectton
of the town,
As is usually,the case, the col-
ored peaple are divided into twa
camps, one wanting to fight, and
the other willing to submit to the
wishes of their white neighbors.
The church people, led by “Meek
Mose” Johnson, finally influence
their neighbors’ to move. But after
they have gone to the poorer sec-
tion there is considerable unrest.
The charge is made that Mose
sold out his race to the whites but
just as the angry fury reaches its
height, someone discovers oil in
the pew colored section and every-
one becomes wealthy.

According to Joe Villa, sports

heavyweight champion of Australia

spite intense prejudice, it seems
that the Negro boxers are the only
successful American in Australia.

By LUCIEN H. WHITE
WILSON LAMB, BARYTONE, IN RECITAL BEFORE LARGE EAST ORANGE AUDIENCE
The auditorium of the East Orfige; N. J. High-School, North Walnut street, the mecca of a large number of friends and admirers of Wilson Lamb, barytone and teacher of the voice, on Friday evening, February 3, when Mr. Lamb appeared in one of his infrequent recitals. His duties as a teacher are onous to a degree, and it has been almost impossible for Mr. Lamb to fluid the time necessary for preparing a recital program.
But so insistent he has his admirers during recent months that he was obliged to satisfy them, and he came before them on this occasion with a program that contained much worth and interest, but was marked with an underbone of sonderness.
Not for this singer the gay and lightsome frivolities. His is an art that tends, towards the tragic outpourings of the grief-laden singers, and rarely does he relieve the atmosphere with joy-laden lillings.
The listener on this occasion found much improvement in tonal qualities, with greater flexibility of utterance, but there was what appaired to be evidences of a slight hoarseness which tended to hamper his vocal chords and to interfere with the accustomed clarity of enunciation. There was a more frequent use of the mezza voice than on previous occasions, and in this the singer displayed wise discretion, for it was in this medium emission that his tones were cleanest and purest.
This reviewer is still of the opinion, as he has expressed before, that Mr. Lamb's voice is forced a bit out of its natural range when he essays to sing in the real baritone compass. To my judgment his voice is more of a basso cantante, and shows to best effect when he does not send it to too high an altitude. But there is little question as to his knowledge of the art of singing, and his display of technic was gratifying.
The voice has ripened and matured, and its natural quality is most pleasing. There is a sonority and resonance in the middle and lower register that is listened to with pleasure.
The large audience was most enthusiastic and appreciative, and see visible and insistent evidence of their enjoyment. Their applause, hearty and wholesouled, was appreciated by the singer. Her he was liberal in adding numbers to his program. The fifteen programmed numbers were increased to more than twenty, and even then the audience would have been content to listen to more
The program opened with two Russian songs, "By the water" from the cycle, "Where no sun shines" by Moussorgsky, and "Field beloved" by Rachmaninoff, followed by English songs by Lane Wilson, "The beggars' songs" and "False Phyllis". The third group comprised the air, "Lasca amour" from the opera, "Orlando" by Handel, in Italian; "Ache lieb ich muss nun schieden" by Strauss, in German, and "Bois epais" from "Amadis" by Lully, in French.
A group of Spirituals, "Gospel Train" and "Evv'ry time I feel the Spirit" by Burleigh; "Poor me" by Dett, and "Are you ready" by Hilbert Stewart, made up the fourth group, and the program was concluded with a group of unrelated songs, "An Explanation" by Coleridge-Taylor; "The sea hath its珍珠" by Cecil Burleigh; "The flower may hide its lovely face" by Osgood, and "Hear me ye winds and waves", recitative and aria from the Handel music, "Secipio".
Mr. Lamb's encores during the evening were "Slow, Horses, slow by Jalowicz"; "Stuttering lovers" by Hughes; "Theure exquise" by Reynaldo Hahn; "I stood-on-de ribber-of Jordan" by Hr T. Burleigh; "Wind a-wooping" by Hawley, and "On the wild rose tree" by Rotoli.
The accomplished and brilliant pianist, Cora Wynn Alexander, was at the piano with the usual splendid result: Mrs. Alexander has long been associated with the Wilson Lamb Studio on Main street, Orange, and her work is of the highest order. Perhaps there is a slight tendency to over-individualize in her accompanying, but this reviewer, knowing so well her fine artistic sense, is sure that it is entirely unconscious.
The recital was sponsored by six churches located in The Oranges, Newark and Montclair.
MUSIC NOTES
As a mark of appreciation for their services in connection with his recital in the East Orange High School on February 3, Wilson Lamb, barytone and teacher, was host to the group of young men who served as ushers, in ticket booths and at the doors, in his studio in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. building, Main street, Orange on Sunday afternoon, Feb.
He is under the management of H. C. Hershoff, I Herman street, Roxbury, Mass.
Nellie Moore Mundy, pianist, and Minnie Brown, soprano, gave their lecture-recital before the Twentieth Century Club of Richmond Hill, L. I. This club is composed of a group of white women prominent in the literary and musical world.
Minnie Brown, soprano, sang over Station WBRS last Friday, February 3. Andrades Lindsay was the accompanist.
Pennian Lovingoed, tenor, has
began to play in the soloist at
St. Mark's M. E. Church.
Roland Hayes according to a telegraphic communication from Moscow has made a profound impression upon his first audience of Russian workers and peasants. The tenor journeyed to Moscow where he sang at the invitation of the Russian Government. The classical part of his program was received with enthusiasm and humility, and his song *Sang Negro Spiritual*, this public, drawn from a people of poignant folk songs, gave him an ovation such as is rarely if ever known in the concert halls of present-day-Moscow. Italy and Holland, as well as Russia, first heard the remarkable singing of Roland Hayes this season. After four tours of America, he has devoted the present concert season to a tour of Europe, to which he owes an important aural recognition. Roland Hayes has given recitals in England, France and Germany. He will sing in various eastern European cities this spring.
Next autumn, Roland Hayes will return of America to make his fifth tour of his own country.
Hampton Glee Club

European folk songs, Classics by Gluck and Black compositions by modern American composers, and Negro folk songs were rendered with artistry and faculty. Dr. Dett played several of his

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
MR. FORD AND THE PULLMAN COMPANY
Say what you will, think what you may about that veteran Pullman porter, George L. Ford, but there is one thing about the man that you will have to admire, if you would be fair—his courage. He is one porter—yes, we will go further and say—one Negro in a thousand who has the courage to express his personal convictions regarding a subject in which he is interested, and express these convictions continuously. This courage has been exemplified in his persistent defence of his employer, the Pullman Company.
What this veteran has done, and is still doing, has required, believe is, a high degree of intrepidity. He stands in a class by himself as a consistent and out-spoken defender of his employer. Not that other veterans, like himself, do not hold opinions similar to his, or are any less loyal, but not a single one of these has had the courage to speak out as he has done. When the Pullman porter agitation first began, and the porters' employer was depicted as everything except a lawful corporation, several of these veterans did attempt it, it is true, to protest against certain allegations which were made against it; but a quick and pungent reply, soon had the effect of silencing these.
Taking everything into consideration you couldn't blame these old miners from keeping silent. With an array of propagandists, which would have done justice to a presidential election campaign, and which were just as varied, on the agitation side, it is not to be wondered that these inclined defenders were overawed; that they thought it better not to ask anything more on the subject, although they knew that some of the propaganda was all wrong.
Then, too, who wants to be called a traitor to his own race? and who wants to incur, the empathy of the men with whom he works, when these men are given to understand that protestation against certain propaganda is municipal to their welfare and their aspirations for better pay? But not so with the Veteran Ford.
He protested in the beginning against certain things that were sad of his employer. He protested against the effect that certain propaganda would have, not only upon Pullman porters, but upon every class of Negro laborers, citing, from his experiences, past events in the Negro's industrial life. These protestations have been made from time to time through the medium of the press. There is hardly any need to mention that for this publicity he has been the recipient of calling rebukes. But these have not had the effect of stopping him.
In his latest article, which appeared in The Age last week, Mr. Lord offers some mental food for digestion of students of Negro economics and social conditions. This exposition may be read by the porters; but it is quite obvious, from its tenor, that it was intended more for the consumption of profounder minds among the Negro race than those supposedly possessed by the rank and file of porters. The article says among other things, that of the twelve million Negroes in this country, the Pullman Company employs, in various capacities, more than 25,000. Not only are these employees used in unskilled labor, but 3,000 of them are employed in skilled work. That alone, it implies, is an economic condition that is highly worthy of the race's consideration. The article further implies that as an employer of Negroes, the Pullman Company is freer from racial prejudice than any other large corporation in America; for it does give colored men semi-official positions, something few, if any, big corporations in this country do.
But no matter how one may view the exposition on the Pullman company as a large and generous employer of Negro labor, it is on the social and cultural phases of the race that the philosophy of the writer becomes mental meat. On this question, Mr. Ford says:
"The inequalities in the scale of human equations, as applied to the Negro race, are not due to the Pullman Company, as you have been told, but due to conditions of American society. The race does not get the same privileges, opportunities and remuneration as the white race in any sphere in American life. There are differentiations and inequalities applied to us in the national government, in the religious world, in the educational field, and are most keenly felt in the economic and politica fields. The causes of these inequalities are varied, and many are due to a heritage of slavery; partly to a wide dissimilarity in color of skin, texture of hair, culture and environment; and finally they are partly due to the limitations of the Negro himself. I do not hesitate to say that of the sins perpetrated against the Negro in America, the Pullman Company is the less to blame of any other corporation or institution."
In that paragraph, the writer argued well and truly. But we might add, is there any good reason why the race should not strive to overcome some of these inequalities and discriminations, despite woolly hair and black skin?
This query, however, is not intended as a criticism of the article. It is merely a comment. Our only other comment is that it is worth our Negro leaders perusal, especially our ministerial leaders, for some of these have injected themselves into a situation in which they haven't any business. Their business is to look after the spiritual and moral welfare of their flocks. That is what they themselves say (in Harlem, anyway) when they are asked why they do not stress race co-operation in business from their pulpits. Whether Pullman porters work under union or nonunion conditions is not any affair of theirs, that is, if they would be consistent.
Coming back to Mr. Ford, as long as this veteran is alive, the Pullman Company will always have a courageous defender.
Mrs. Lillian E. Outlear Thanks Writer of Column
The following is a letter of thanks from Mrs. Lillian E. Outlear

Last week we told you of the great increase in the number of our group working under the various Civil Service Commission throughout the country, and at the same time we expressed a hope that this number would be increased to just twice that in the next few years. If information, about the various examinations, be held under civil service rules and regulations will bring this about, we have already done our share.
Assistant Secretary Lowman of the Treasury urges that the force now employed in the custom service be doubled to twice its present strength and that their pay be increased; this should be attractive to many of our readers who have wanted to get on this force of inspectors. Mr. Lowman declared that diamond smuggling alone through the New York port amounted to $50,000,000 a year, thus costing the government the whole revenue from that sum. There are now 437 guards on duty now in this service, and a few of these are men of our group, notably a Mr. Joseph, one of the physical directors at the Y. who has been in the service of Uncle Sam for a long period. Therefore, an examination may be pending for this position at any time. Get ready for it now, or better still write to the secretary, 2nd U. S. Civil Service District, and get some information about the test and the job.
The next post office examination for the New York City post office and the Brooklyn post office will be held in New York City, February 18. Application for this examination may be had at any time at the Custom House, New York City. The age limits are from 18 to 45. The pay is up to $2,300 per annum, and this is very good pay in season and out of season especially now when work is scarce and money is in. There are no off days with Uncle John. Get your application now and check this test. The city examination lasted for tax commissioner closed last Friday. It pays from $2,550 to $6,000 per annum, and the city will need tax appraisers more and more each year.
The City Commission will hold continuous examinations for all jobs of an engineering and mechanical nature. You can file applications any time. No need to wait till they are announced. If you are any kind of engineer or mechanic, just file your application, and they will notify you of the test. 473 men have been certified from the male clerk list. The list was established October, 1926. Last week more than 200 candidates were certified, or appointments to the various City and state bureaus.

HEALTH IS HERE
By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON
the New York Tuberculosis
and Health Association.
Is your child growing as he should?
If he isn't, are you sure he is getting plenty of sleep, good food and sufficient play out of doors? It may be that he does not get the required amount of regular rest and that he is really "too tired to grow." Children grow and develop best when they are able to sleep long hours regularly every night. If they do not get the proper amount of rest under good conditions, they may be too tired, to be able to grow. All children under ten need twelve hours of sleep every night. They should sleep alone, if possible, in a quiet room with the windows open wide. Children under six should have a nap in the afternoon. In addition to long hours of sleep, children should have wholesome, well-prepared food. They should have plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits as these foods contain many of the elements necessary for the proper growth and development of young bodies.
Children should play out-of-doors in the fresh air and sunlight as many hours every day as possible. When school is in session and they are obliged to spend considerable time in doors, arrange to have them play outside after school for as long a time as possible.
Measles
Measles is one of the most common of all infectious diseases of childhood. A large number of all the adults who reach mature age have had it sometime during their childhood. In itself it is not especially serious. But the complications that frequently arise in the course of the disease, and, the after-effects which often follow the disease are serious.
Children who have measles should receive good care during their illness and good after-care. The beginning symptoms of the disease are much like those of a cold—slight fever, inflamed eyes with a great deal of watery secretion, running of the nose, sneezing and coughing. The rash does not appear until about the third day after the first symptoms. A doctor should be called immediately, when a child has these symptoms. The patient should be put to bed and isolated, in order to prevent spreading the disease which is carried through the discharges of the nose and mouth.
The child should be kept in a cool, dark comfortable room until the rash has disappeared. Warmth and good nursing are vital. The doctor's orders should be followed implicitly as proper care may prevent serious complications such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
Watch your child's health and keep his general resistance high by seeing that he gets plenty of sunlight and fresh air, and do not expose him unnecessarily to contagious diseases even though you consider them "necessary evils."
