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.

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.

Tel Harlem 6092 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. Members of the Board Here on the board will be Alderman Fred R. Moore, editor of The New York Age: Weudal P.

Jimmy Marshall is presenting the Dixie Vagabonds at the Lafayette 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.'" Paris France-Andre Pollack, juvenile lead of the Comedie Française, prefers facing a damage suit for 11,200 francs to taking another sock on the nose.

CORRESPONDENTS Please have your news items in by Tuesday afternoon of each office later that Tuesday will appear in the following week's issue of the paper. 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. And it is equally fortunate that the direction of this important screenplay given to her with the sympathetic temperament and forceful creative ability of Mauritz Stiller, the Swedish genius. 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.

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. 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.

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.

R. White preached from 1st Timothy 6:12, "Fight the good fight of faith, WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH 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."

WILLIAM HOWARD ZAFE, JHU Justice United States supreme court. Founded by BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Offers Excellent Opportunities to Young Men and Women to Secure an Excellent Literary and Normal Course, and a Course in Mechanical Industries, Women's Industries or Agriculture LOCATION UNSURPASSED FOR HIRALTHIFULNESS WRITE FOR CATALOG OF INFORMATION ROBERT R. MOTON, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Alabama 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."

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.

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.

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

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 Sings at A. & T. College Greensboro, N. C.—The Hampton Institute Glee club, under the personal direction of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, composer, appeared in vocal and instrumental concert before a large and appreciative audience at College H. A. and T. College, Thursday evening, February 2. A striking feature of the program was its unusual scope and variety. 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 MUSIC NOTES As a mark of appreciation for their services in connection with her rental 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, on Sunday afternoon, February 5. The ladies of the Musical Art Forum, which meets in the studio on Sunday afternoons, assisted by serving delightful refreshments. The guests were W. H. Bushell, chief usher; John Earley, Francis Persip, Oscar Brooks, Edgar Wilts, William Nabors, Frederick Moss, Henry Fenton, Isaiah Bluer, Lawrence, Matthew Jackson, Reuben Campbell, in charge of brothy Garfield Tynes and John Hearley, Leach Leach ticket both; S. Clark, large lobby; George White and Lawrence Snagrow, at door. What promises to be one of the unique affairs of the season is the proposed Scholarship Barn Dance to be given Friday evening, February 17, at Renaissance Casino, by a group of stage and literary celebrities. The promoters are Rose Lefendon, Evelyn Ellen Frank, Wendy Zora Hurston, Ducilla Poole and Robert Aesley, and they are featuring on the evening's program Ada Ward, the Berry Bros, and James P. Johnson, pianist. It will be a costume dance with sung-instrument dresses, overalls and straw hats in evidence. The list of patrons includes a number of the leaders in social and literary circles in the metropolitan area. Richard II, Harrison, the dramatic trader, will furnish the Lincoln birthday program the Central branch of the W. Y. C. A. 610 Lexington avenue. Monday evening, February 13. The program will consist of selections from Paul Laurence Dunbar's poems and the court song from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice."

PORO COLLEGE 4300 St. Perdinand Avenue ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. DEPT For 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 widow of the late Harlem attorney, David C. Outlear: "My dear Mr. Hogans: I must thank you for your most beautiful tribute to my late dear husband, David C. Outlear, in the New York Age of January 7th. "What you observed of his noble Christian life, I witnessed for twenty-seven years. Just as you pictured his life, he lived.

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.

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."
