It also is brought out that during the administration of Mayor Tuppers, the then young Powell was appointed to serve as a deputy marshal which Dr Powell now characterizes as "a compliment to my physique but a severe criticism on my intellect and chief ambition at that time."
The following statement is made by Dr Powell.
In issue of February 9, The New York Age carried a news article under the caption, "Colored Mr. I. Mayor in Ohio for First Time." This article was written by Mr. Heights, Ohio, and states that Mr. I. Johnson, a Negro, in issue 2 took oath of office as Mayor of this city, and that he became May

mendation I ever possessed
Proving Powell's Courage.
"In this recommendation, His Honor the Mayor, stated that my courage was equal to any occasion And this is the occasion that Mayor Tuppins had in mind
"A desperado came to Rendville and I was ordered by the Mayor to either arrest him or run him out of town. The "Safety First" motto had not been coined then, but I acted upon it both in spirit and in letter, by deceding to run the desperado out of town instead of arresting him. With handdefts in my coat pocket revolver, in my hip pocket and a policeman's stock in my hand, I kept at a safe distance behind this desperado until he got beyond the line of our Municipality. With great bravery I returned to the Mayor and told him I had run this criminal out of Rendville, when I should have reported that he led me to the city line.
"Rendless has had four colored Mayors since the death of Dr Tuppins, namely, S B Allen, James R Cromwell, C R Ginn, and Wm H. Addison, the latter is holding office now. All of these men were ejected over white men who were contending for the office.
The senior girls of Hunter College who are graduating this June held their senior hop at the Hotel Ambassador, Thursday evening, February 14.
Quite a few colored girls are members of this class, and they purchased tickets for the affair at 67 each.
A few days before the affair was scheduled to take place someone advised the girls not to go, saying that the hotel would not admit colored people. They were advised to cancel their reservations and get their money back.
Upon advice, however the girls and their escorts went to the dance and, contrary to the first report, were courteously admitted, and despite a little coolness shown by some members of the class, the girls and their escorts spent a pleasant evening.
Among the girls attending were Misses Ouse Outram, Jane Humphreys, Alma Jeffries, Thelma Henderson, Hazel Facing, Evelyn Batey and Willie Branch. Their escorts were Messrs Melvin Ross, Richard Baltimore, Langston Hughes, Robert Lewis, Thomas Jeffries and Jack Rudder

NEW YORKER HAS JOHN BROWN'S WALKING STICK George Young, Formerly Running Book Store, Now Owns Cane
George W. Young, the well-known bibliophile, of 255 West 144th street, is the proud possessor of a handsome ivory-headed walking stick formerly owned by the marytred John Brown of Harper's Berry fame.
The cane of a dark wood, heavy in weight, resembling mahogany, with a heavy silver hand attaching the story head to the cane. On this band has been inscribed the name of John Brown, beneath which is placed the name of Tom Thomas, a Negro, who met John Brown in Maryland in 1855. Thomas later went to California, not seeing Brown any more.
The cane, however, passed into the possession of Hon Jason W Steele, then to W W Pride of Springfield, Mass, who died, leaving the cane in possession of his window.
Recently Mr. Young had some business with George H Blake, president of the Numermatic Society of New Jersey, and Mr Blake happened to mention the existence of the cane, and that he was acquainted with the window of Mr. Pride.
Negotiations finally led to the cane coming into possession of Mr. Young who expresses the intention to have his name engraved below that of Mr Pride on the silver hand.
It is quite probable that the moment will finally be placed in some historical organizations archives.
Arrested For Robbery, Man Gets Police To Help Him Loot Another House
Baltimore, Md—Arrested for the looting of a warehouse, Clarence Hicks, 23, enlisted the aid of Police Sergeant William Keller and Patrolman Stephen Bollinger of the Central District to not only help him rob a house but also to assist him in carrying off his spoils. When arrested, Hicks remarked that it looked as though he would be in jail long time, and requested the office to accompany him to his home to get clothes things. They agreed, and he took them to a house where he seemed to be at home. He changed his clothes, took a watch, eyeglasses and other articles. The police noticed that the initials
The car was being driven by Prof. Edward Goins of A. and T. College, Greenbos, and Mrs Martha Green, a teacher at Ben-Gurion Women, was the other passenger. They escaped with minor injuries.
On Way To Funeral
The accident occurred about 15 miles from Lynchburg, to whose city the party was en route to attend the funeral of the late Mrs Evelyn Humbles, also a school teacher, who had been employed in the Greensboro public schools. The late Mrs Cook had been teaching here since her return from a year's honeymoon in Paris. She was married to Mercer Cook, now a professor at Howard University, in New York City on June 24, 1925. She was quite popular among the younger set of this city, as well as in New York City, her home. Her uncle, the Rev. William P Hayes, reached here Monday morning and accompanied the body to New York, where funeral services were conducted on Thursday.
Was Nct... York Girl
The late Mrs Bernice Wilson Cook was a native of New York, the only daughter of Mr and Mrs Lewis Wilson of the Dunbar Garden Apartments, 2588 Seventh avenue. She was educated in the public and high schools of this city, the New York Teacher Training School, and at the Savage Physical Culture School. She was one of the original members of the Debutante Club and there was real sorrow among the younger social set when news of her death reached New York Sunday evening. Funeral services were conducted from Salem M. E. Church, the Roy Frederick A Cullen pastor, officiating, assisted by the Rev A. C. Garner, pastor of the Rev Congregational Church, and severer family ministers. Interment was in the family plot at Evergreen Cemetery, under the direction of Mrs Mai Lane. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. In addition to her parents and husband, the deceased is survived by an uncle, the Rev William P. Hayes, a grandmother and several other relatives

Miami, Fla. —The American Federation of Labor, in session here decided in Tuesday's session to issue a local Federal charter to the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, New York, Philip H. Carporters and general organizer, instead of the international charter asked for by that body.
It also brings to the Brotherhood the direct support of the Federation in the matter of strengthening the porter's union membership.
The New York Age has received several articles concerning officers of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in which charges of mismanagement and dishonesty are made by former officers, recently deposed.

Tenth Anniversary Of Return Of Old 15th N.Y. "Hell Fighters" Observed Sunday At St. Mark's
Col. Arthur W. Little, Who Served Overseas With Regiment As Major, Pays Tribute To Late Dr. Wm. H. Brooks, First Chaplain
Sunday, February 17, marked the tenth anniversary o f the welcome home of the 369th Infantry, A. E. F., the Old Fifteenth Regiment, New York, and elaborate exercises were held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, the Rev. John W. Robinson, pastor, to mark this occasion.
The morning service was attend- by a group of the original members of the 15th and Col. Arthur W. Little, who served overseas as a major, and as colonel commanding the 369th Infantry, N. Y. N. G., was the principal speaker.
Tribute to Chaplain Brooks
Col. Little paid a fine tribute to the late Rev William H. Brooks, former pastor of St. Marks, who was the first chaplain of the regiment. He said that next to Col. William Hayward, the persons did the most credit for the founding of the regiment were Chaplain Brooks and Alderman Moore, who had served in an advisory capacity to both Col. Little and the other commanding officers of the regiment. Col Little recalled an incident prior to the departure of the colored soldiers, where application for permission to hold a farewell parade in New York had been denied by the War Department. Col Hayward remarked to Col Little, "They won't let us parade now but on my life they will be glad to have us parade when we return." This prophecy came true and the 369th was given the warmest welcome of any regiment returning from overseas.
Great Day for the Negro.
Col Little said in part: "Upon the afternoon of the Armistice Day, November 11, 1918, when our regiment was holding two sectors in the Vosges Mountains, Col. William Hayward in a voice vibrating with emotion, said: 'December 25, the day that Christ was born in a manager, was the greatest day in the history of civilization—this day November 11 is the second greatest day.'
Some years later in paraphrasing this thought of the great leader of the old 15th New York Infantry, I stated that February 17, 1919, was the second greatest day in the history of the colored race—the greatest day being September 22, 1863, the day upon which President Lincoln signed the Proclamation of Emancipation. That statement has never been challenged. The 17th of February, ten years ago today, was the day upon which the 15th New York Infantry was welcomed home from the war by the citizens of New York.*
160 Citatione for Valor.
Colonel Little briefly reviewed the organization and brilliant war record of the regiment, which was 191 days under fire, received over 160 citations for valor distributed largely among the men, and is the only American Regiment entitled to wear the colors of the Croix de Guerre on its regimental standard besides being the first regiment to reach the Rhine, following the Armistice.
"Can we ever forget the 17th of February, 1919? They did not give us our welcome that day because our war was a regiment of colored soldiers—the one that gave us welcome that day in spite of the fact that ours was a regiment of colored soldiers—they welcomed us that day from hearts filled with gratitude and with love and with pride, because one was a regiment of men who had done their duty as men

Advised Organied Effort
"Some of you may say, "Tell us what we can do, now that there is no war—what can we do in public-spirited effort to help somebody or something besides ourselves?"
"Why don't you try an organized effort, by which you as a group become recognized as leaders in some great work of mercy or humanitarianism? Pick out something that isn't going to take a lot of money; pick out something that you can be sure to all stand together on; but something to help somebody else, and you will be surprised to see the increase in the influence that you have as a group and as a race. Then you won't need so

DAUGHTER ELKS
Monday night at the meeting of the Invincible Temple of Daughter Elks, Casper Holstein, well known philanthropist, donated $500 to the fund for an educational program which is being launched by that organization.
While it is true that fraternal organizations have done more to relieve suffering conditions in this city than any other organization, this is one of the first to awaken to the fact that some of the large sums often expended, every could be used to help educate the youth of the race
Many girls enter high school and colleges, but when faced with the high cost of living, and in many cases helping to support the family, are forced to leave school before completing the course
This fund will be used to help educate worthy girls more because of merit than environment

Thomas Dwyer is president of this company. Mrs. Bianche K. Thomas, director of the House, has been indispensable for several weeks. She has fully recovered and will return to them on Saturday for the regular musical activities.

RENT REDUCTION FOR NEGRO TENANTS ON EAST SIDE
East Side Tenements Turned Over To Negro Tenants At Reduction of Rent As Compared To What Whites Paid
For the past five years, white tenants living at 124 East 108th street have been paying $30 per month rent for three rooms with steam heat, hot water, bath and electric.
This property has just been opened up for occupant by colored tenants and contrary to the usual order of things where the colored tenant has been obliged to pay more than the white tenant, the colored tenant in this house are now paying but $25 a month for the same three roo's with the same investments, a reduction of $5 per month on what the whites are now paying.
The house is a twenty-family house, two blocks from the 110th street and Lexington avenue subway station. The 110th street troop cars and the Lexington avenue line are close by, making the location a desirable one.

"About fifty years ago," says Mr. Lewis G. O'Shields, of Porterville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it over since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache.
"By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine."

Robert Showell at South Brooklyn, formerly of Herkimer street, was instantly killed on Monday, February 18, at 11:10 a.m., when he fell from a scaffold where he was working on a building on West 11th street, Manhattan. When octors arrived on the scene they pronounced him dead, and further examination revealed that every bone in his body had been broken in the fall. He was a member of Nazarene Congregational Church, and the Rev. Dr. H. H. Proctor, pastor, will officiate at the funeral, which is being held Friday, February 22, at 12 o'clock, from the funeral parlor of Farley, 1865 Fulton street

Everyone who tires easily, loses weight without known reasons, has frequent attacks of indigestion, or a cough that hangs on, will be urged to let a physician decide whether or not he has tuberculosis, it was said. Persons who have been exposed to tuberculosis will be urged to have examinations by physicians, and a special effort will be made by the neighborhood associations to have all persons in the community go to a physician for periodic health examination.
Last year the tuberculosis death rate increased in New York City for the first time in twenty-three year with the exception of one year during the war.

phe maladministration of the courts gone,
Phat impeachment proceedings have been
Whreatened as the only way to correct ob-

UNWhile these disclosures have been

Pmuinicipal courts of New York have not
Sheen exempt from criticism, Complaints
ftiave becn made against the attitude of
tne of the judges of the West 125th
iBtreet court, as “prejuciced, discourteous
‘ind vitriolic,” in his dealings with’ bti-
jwants, witnesses and lawyers of the Ne-
{gro race. ‘In a recent dispossess proceed:

ivAig thie emurt is loeated in a section

ously actuated by racial prejudice ig glar-

high a degree of judicial decorum is de-

THE CHURCH AS A CLINIC
| the Federal Council of Chutches of
Christ in America has frequently assert-
ved a broadness @f statement and liberal-
ity of thought én its publi¢ outgivings.
This was again manifested in the report
issued by its committee on Marriage and
Home, which declared that the church
has much to answer for in the present
unsettled condition of the home. The re-
port included a set of specific recom-
mendations to the churches, in which was
emphasized the importance of marriage
as leading to children, happy homes, the
joys of parenthood and the enrichment
of life. This phase of living was present-
ed as deserving a new place in preaching
and in the entire program of the church.
Among the disquieting tendencies of
the age pointed out, were the lack of per-
sonal attention to their children on the
part of well-to-do parents and the shift-
ing of their care to special achools and
hired teachers. The number of working
‘mothers, who have to be absent from
em when their children return from
school, was instanced as a drawback to
‘the training and care of childhood. The
presence and cooperation of the father
= declared a necessary element in the
‘maintenance of normal home life. In
‘seeking to improve present conditions, it
was held that the churches can do very
much more than they are now doing to
lessen marital unhappiness and to pre-
vent the collapse of homes on the point
of breaking.”
The chief problems of marriage, it was
clanmed, are subject to spiritual treat-
ment, evén in the great number of homes
which are full of unhappiness while. pre-
senting an outward harmonious appear-
ance, To meet this emergency, it was
suggested that “every church at its best,
would be a kind of clinic, to which peo-
ple would come for guidance and for help
to overcame their troubles as they now
go to physicians for their physical ills.”
This view of the minister as a cure for
souls is not an entirely new one, but it
presupposes the possession of a large
fund of discretion on the part of thie spir-
- Fual adviser, and a sound admixture of
worldly wisdom with his spiritual con-
solation and advice, The members of the
clergy qualified to act in such capacity
are not any too plentiful.
More practical suggestions were made
to“pastors in exercising care in the per-
formance of marriage ceremonies, such
as not to officiate in the case of unknown
patties and rustaway marriages. Caution
‘should be exercised in marrying divorced
‘persons, especially if they: belong to an-
other communion, Stunt weddings, such
as those at fairs, in airplanes and the like,
were discountentnced as debasing the
rite, and the committee recommended
that ministers associations make a public
protest against them
‘The seport deplored the over emphasis
of sex im literature and on the stage, with
the increase of divorce and the apparent
growth of laxness in the relations of the
sexes. It was admitted that the church
had spent its energies largely in abstract
teaching and institutional activities to
the neglect of these more practical mxt-
ters. Doctrinal and general preaching
have until recently received too great at-
tention, While the clergy have as a rule
not given themselves energetically to the
social and economic struggle for the lives
of the hard pressed masses of the popu-
lation, Such matters asa living wage, a
shorter workday, ‘housing for people with
small incomes and protection of’ working
mothers still seent, to a great number of
Christians, as rfot a*real part nf the Chris
tian nck, according to thia report, which
‘THE NEW YORK AGE
inferentially would include them in the
things the church should work for.
The slown€as of the churches to recog-
nize the redemptive ‘character of social
‘work in the field of family wellare wer
admitted, with the implication that’ this
was a function that might worthily be ex-
ercised. The problem ‘of the unadjusted
home has been systematically tackled by
comparatively few, including the’ docior,
the lawyer, the social ‘worker and the
courts, Here the church would find fruit-
ful field for well-directed effort, The
changes made in the home by the emanci-
pation of women were also instanced as
having a bearing upon laws and social
clistoms which surround courtship and
marriage, . This fact requires readjust-
ments in which the church might exer-
cise a salutary influence. .
There is much food ior reflection in
this report, ‘The ministers of all the
churches might do well to study at and
adopt the practical plans outlined for so-
lation of the various problems discussed.
They are problems cammon to all human
communities and ifidividuals, without
distinction of race, color or condition.
The sooner the cHurches make a practical
effort to assist in their solution the bct-
ter for all concerned.
SLLITERACY IN UNITED STATES.
In an article upon the illiterate in the
United States, the Bangor’ Commercial
said that, according to the census, there
are six illiterates among every one hup-
dred persons over ten years of age. This
illiteracy rate of six per cent. 1s pro-
nounced as “not a very brilliant record
for a country whose annual income is es-
timated (0 be Somewhere between $60,
000,000,000 and —_$75,000,000,000 and
whose national wealth is set at $400,000,-
000,000” It continued
In literacy this country ay behind France,
Hogland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Nether-
lands, Switzerland and Denmark, Ard by
States the illiteracy here ranges from as low
as 1 per cent to as thigh as 22 per cent
In fairness to this country it must be suid,
however, that the percentage of Interacy
among the white, English-speaking people. of
the United States is as high as it not higher
than that of the corresponding native class
‘of any other country. The great educational
problem in the United States iy carrying edt
uucation to the blacks, Indzans, Mexicans and
immigrants.
So far as carrying education to the
blacks is concerned, the trouble is to get
a fair division of the school funds in many
of the States, of which Missouri with all
its educational advantages is a conspicu-
ous example, according to the St Louis
Argus. Progress has been made in this
respect in such states as North Carolina
and West Virginia, Even Georgia has
shown a tendency of late years to do a
little more for ‘Negro education. But
most of the Southern States are still try-
ing to keep their black citizens in the
depths of ignorance, by denying them a
rightful share of the school funds
BEAUTY CULTURE BY LAW.
The practice of beauty culture has
gained recognition by the nation’s law-
‘makers in the introduction of a bill by a
Congressman from Pennsylvania to. li-
cense and regulate hairdressers and
beauty culturists. ‘This bill would create
a boatd of “cosmetologists” in the dis-
trict of Columbia, which would control
the issue of licenses and formulate sau-
tary rules for the conduct of beauty shops
and hair dressing parlors. The board
would consist of three members. two of
whom shall be hairdressers or cosmetolo-
gists and the third a licensed physician.
‘The secretary would receive a salary of
‘three thousand doUlars. The other mem-
hers shall recejve tei dollars a day for
actual duties and expenses
The bill provides that before any par-
son may practice or teach beauty culture
or hairdressing application must be filed
with the board accompanied by a health
certificate and proof of qualifications as
to age, education and character. The
amount of the fee shall be deposited and
‘the applicant will undergo un examina-
tion as to fitness to practice or teach
“cosmetology,” as the art of making
beautiful is to be krlown Provision is
made for the appointment of examiners
and inspectors to carry out the provi-
sions of the bill It is also provided that
it shall be unlawful to permit any person
to use for residential purposes or to sleep
in any roont used wholly or partly for
beautifying purposes One hundred dol-
lars fine. or ninety days im jal, or both,
is the penalty for violating this law, the
offence being a misdemeanor
The bill defines the practice and teach-
ing of cosmetology to be and include
“any and all work generally and usually
inchicled in the terms hairdreseng and
beaut culture and performed in so-called
hair dressing and beanty shops ordinarily
patronized by women, which work is
done for the embellishment, «leanliness,
and beautification of the woman's hair,

part of her body." Service hy barbers

January, February 28, 1928 THE NEW YORK AGE
CHURCH AND RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
Grace Church of Harlem
The Sunday morning service hour gave way over to a religious education program which was in charge of W. Herbert Jung. He read the last chapter of the Old and New Testament, and said the morning prayer, after which he introduced W. Dyer Blair, who was to deliver the sermon.
Mr. Blair used as his theme, "Facing the Challenge in Religious Education," to plainly answer the evidence that they as parents must begin while their children are in their earliest years to give them the right kind of Christian teaching in the home and the education to have they grow up into the right kind of thinking men and women. He also told of the great need of opening the church at least, once a week for Christian teaching and the right kind of supervision of the children.
The result of his sermon, plans have been made for a meeting during the mid-weekly service hour on Wednesday evening at 8 p.m. to form plans for such meetings. He and Mrs. Blair will be on hand to discuss this meeting.
After the service Dr. Garner introduced A. G. Falling, who heads the Boy Scout movement in Manhattan and in the Bronx, hiking is to and is not a re-organization of the Grace Church Boy Scouts that troop have been left without a leader through the resignation of Mr. Marshall. Mrs. Ollie Porter is leading the Girl Scouts of Grace Church. All girlbets are the ages of 15 and are eligible. Deaconess Josephine Johnson held a meeting of the deaconsesses at her home, So West 118th street, from 5 to 8 p.m. After the meeting, Mrs. Garner joined she for a delicious meal. Among those present were Deaconses Crump, Porter, Washington, Davis, Harrison, Flood and Bibbs. The evening service was in charge of Dr Gerner, Rev Lane and Mr King. Garner returned from a trip to Washington and Virginia on Saturday. The trustees are beginning to form plans for their "Easter rally." It is to be called the "Square Rally," and it is to be commended by a group of ladies.
The progressive Club, or which Mrs. Nettie Terry is the chairman, has volunteered to re-turmish the pulpit, and the Andes in which Mrs. Pete Bean is chairman, to furnish Bulletins for the entire year. Mrs. Eva Parks has been in Washington for the past two weeks attending the sick bed of her mother who is seriously ill. W. A. financial secretary, is mourning the loss of his brother, Frederick A, who died in Warwick, Bermuda, the first of February. Mr. Bean was a member of the Royal Guard Artillery, in which he served during the World's

Refuge Church of Christ
What a dark, cold, and glorious world this planet of ours would be without the light from the sun. The inhabitants of the earth would be blind, the children would be blind, the decisions and feelie guesses were it not for the light that the Holy Bible throws upon us. For the neglect of teachings from the Holy Scriptures, and for the non-interest that cebel man has displayed in his writings has caused mighty empires and kingdoms to come down to the dust of the earth.
According to modern HOMO the Holy Bible is merely a book that cebel man has written that they had nothing better, to the contrary, however the Holy Bible is nothing shorter than the language used by the Almighty to guide His people since the beginning. For in the beginning was the Word, and that was God with God, and the Word was God.
One of the many ways used to acquaint Christians with the Holy Scriptures is in Bible classes. For this reason Bishop R. C. Lawson taught the class held at regular meeting Monday evening, February 11 Superintendent Hill of the Sunday school has been added to the faculty. The weekly missionary service were inspired on the evening of February 14, Tuesday, February 12, Elder Carrington preached in the main auditorium. A little child was baptized after the sermon. An interesting and inspiring program was held Wednesday, February 13, under auspices of the Junior church from other churches to come and worship the Lord with us. Our junior for church is held every Wednesday evening through the year. Elder Peter Brown was chief speaker for the junior church last Wednesday. He used John 3:16 as his text.
Public Bible class was taught
Thursday evening, February 14,
in the main auditorium by Pastor R
C Lawson. Numerous Bible
questions were asked and answered.
We invite everyone to our public
Bible classes. The next class will
meet on Friday to bring your Bible
question.
February 15, the weekly Friday
night divine healing services were
well attended. Pastor R Lawson
preached an eloquent sermon on the
"Alls of the Holy Bible, taken from various scriptures, such as "But my God shall supply all your needs: according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus;" "All things worketh together for good to those who suffer, etc." Many were praised for the healing of their bodies.
A large number came out Sunday morning to the eleven o'clock service. The pastor, Bishop R C Lawson, selected Acts 14:22 as the topic of his discourse. His sermon dwelt on the tribulation of life that refines the essence of God as purpose purity of heart and mind in the world but likewise in this world. The structure of the sermon ran into these immutable words of God, "What soever a man sooth that shall he also reap" A filled auditorium heard the sermon the evening service taken from 2 Kings 11:24. Lawson proved in his sermon that men were blind to the Spiritual happiness, joy, and peace of God because of the lust of their flesh. And in pursuing the pleasure of the world they isolated or cut themselves off from the world, and in saying they fied the fact that the true church was the church that was established on the day of Pentecost, recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. All others that originated since that time were the outcome of the ideas and ventures of man. Baptism and divine healing ser
Service every night except Saturday. Prayer meeting, morning, noon and evening, every day. All welcome to our various services. Visit us on Christ Bishop R C Lawson, pastor, 52-56 West 13rd street, New York City.

Subject "A Man's Throat is the Devil's Blowing Horn." Rev. Stanley spoke with power with thee, and the country of the Gergeses who were possessed with devils and how the devil was using the men's

threat as his blowing horn to cause fear and disturbance in the country, but when Jesus met these two men He commanded the devil to depart out of them. This was when Jesus showed His power to the Gergeses. This is a great example to us today. What ever we do, wherever we go Jesus will show us the Christian shine among those who are using their mouth as a masterpiece for the devil and their throat as his blowing horn.

We are most proud of the
seven series of revival services

James Williams is giving stirring
messages in all these services. Souls
are being converted, and new members added to the church, while the

which are only a small part of those who are yet to be baptized. Mera, Johnson, of Metropolitan Baptist Church, who, with other members, came over to give a program for the Missionary Society, after listening to the man whom, announced that the program would be deferred to another time.
At the evening service, after the pastor had spoken briefly on "Christ And The Cup," the hand of fellowship was given to a large number of new members. Yet, even then, these were not half of the persons that have been voted into fellowship. God is greatly likening the church in locality, and the prospects for the future were never as bright as now.
St. Martin's Chapel
It being the first Sunday of Lent, theirmon by the Revered Auxiliary William S. St. John's Chapel, 122nd street and Lenox avenue, was well suited to the beginning of the penitential season.
Referring to the main point in the text as found in the 5th verse of the 34th Psalm: "They looked on me and were not confounded. Mr. Williams said that: 'it should be the aim of every christian to live a radiant life,' his interpretation of radiant being that which has a light within itself. However the christian was so seated during the Lenten season, the follower of Christ should strive to eradicate the things in their hearts and lives that tend to form a barrier between them and their Maker.
Making a practical application of this thought, he admonished further that professed christians should allow - the light emanating from Jehovah to become a part of their being, and to radiate in their daily lives. The mandate of the light shine before men that they may see your good works."
Last Thursday evening, the confirmation class and members of the congregation were inspired and uplifted by the deep and earnest discussion given by William S. Samuel, The real and meaningful meaning of the Episcopal Church's breath, its simplicity and its power—was felt by everyone present.

He chose for his text, 2nd Peter 1st chapter and the latter part of the 1st verse, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God. Shall the Saints of God topic was "The Supreme Value of Faith." He spoke of the three graces, Faith, Hope and Charity. He explained that faith is vital to the spiritual and to the church as a maintained or easily dispensed with Faith shall be tried by winds of temptations, and storms of adversaries, but just as a tree takes deeper roots as it grows and is attached by winds so does faith take deeper roots as it grows and is attached by stepping stones to something better. He explained that the reason John's experiences were written in the Bible was not because his troubles excelled offers, but because he bore them through his faith in God. Himself, he said, shy yet will I trust him" showed his great faith in God
The Bible does not explain God, but assumes Its existence. In speaking of analyzing faith, the pastor reminded us that just as the fact stands that we do not examine the chemical elements in our food when we eat it, we do not examine faith, the chemical peeking of faith as our companion through trouble, sickness and death.
This sermon was an inspiring and highly spiritual message. This, with the gospel song by Sister Tribbitt following the sermon, gave to the services, the old revival spirit.
The pastor's niece, the daughter of Mary Milton, was accidentally killed in an automobile accident in Carolina where she teaches school.
The pastor went South to get the girl's body and therefore could not be present at the evening service.
Rev. DeWitt Ferriman, evangelist to preacher of Chicago, preached. His text was "Walking the Water." He spoke of how people doubted the Sacred God in whether he was the Messiah or not. He was illustrated of how God's Spirit moved on the waters in the beginning and Christ, who the Spirit of God also cared or walked on the water being one and the same spirit, was enlightening. The choir sang beautifully, "I'm coming through this unfriendly way following the sermon." Fourteen people joined church through out the day and $675 65 was collected.

Sunday was "Every Member Present at Sloan. At the morning hour of worship Dr. George Shippen Skipper, pastor, taking his text from Ephesians 3:20-21, emphasized God, the Cross, and the crossposts. In portraying the cry of the day for a new concept of God he brought out that we cannot give up prayer; the lips might cease to pray, but the heart will cry out for the Living God. We cannot give up the tyrma because when some great threat comes, the soul will sing its lyrum and the heart will find no peace until it cries out and sing its song. We cannot give up God because no people that ever lived but have had an idea of God. "Everywhere man believes in God everywhere man must have some idea of God beginning to everything and there must be a beginner, called by whatever name you will. You cannot destroy the idea of God fixed in the mind of every man. Nothing in the world is more fixed than the idea of God. The church is fixed and through it the church will be led of the Christ the whole world shall come by way of the Cross to know the truth and spirit of God.

Nazarene Cong. Church
The most talked of service in Brooklyn last Sunday evening was the exchange between Dr John Howard Mellish, rector of the Holy
Trinity Episcopal Church, and the Henry Hugh Proctor, pastor of the Nazarene Congregational Church. Dr. Mellish made a deep impression on the large coated audience by his candor and frankness in his speech, and to the equality of the Negro with the white, and made a strong point for the treatment of people on their merit.
Dr. Proctor was cordially recalled at the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. He spoke on "The Fate of Lincoln'sOLD Friend," was the first ruler of the earth to have faith in all men. He then showed how Lincoln's fame reated on this single thing, and then demonstrated that the Negro had justified the faith of Lincoln by the national economy, and the nationality, and spirituality. Then he made a plan for mutual faith and co-operation in worldwide brotherhood.

Morehouse Five Defeats Clark University, 29-22
By J. H. BIRNLE
Atlanta, Ga.—Morehouse College trumped over Clark University in the fastest game seen on Atlanta courts this season by a score of 29-22.
The game took place Saturday, February 16.
The Clark boys took the lead early in the first half and held it throughout that session, but when the Morehouse team returned to the game in the second half the tune changed and once in front the Maroon team began using a weird floor game which they executed in an excellent style. The Clark players never being able to see into it.
Traylor was high point man for Morehouse team with 13 markers. His floor helped the Maroon team cause in working the ball down the court, and he broke up many a rush which might have meant points for Clark's team.
Crawford and Hawkins, guards deserve plenty of credit for their performances. Both boys drifted down the court to drop the ball through the loop when the occasion presented itself, and were on the spot to the shots taken by the Clark forwards. The fact that they were getting the ball off the back board, preventing many crop shots by Clark's sharp-shooters, kept the Panthers score down to a point where it was easily reached by the Morehouse boys when they began to find the basket. Archer and Hawkins worked with Crawford in most of the passing parts of the game and the three handled the ball flawlessly. Banks substitute forward, came to same when he sank the basket that tied the game. The entire Morehouse team played their best game of the season. They showed tremendous improvement over their past few weeks of play for Clark Dalton and Johnson were best.

Exciting Drama At The Alhambra This Week
There is abundant reason for the enthusiasm of the audiences at the Albambra this week. The drama, "Monster or Man," is a production so wierd and so tremendously exciting that many people sit breathless until the finish, and then the applause is a tumult. As the Monster, a soulless thing in human form, created by a madman biding in the great sowers of Paris, Barrington Carter plays a role that perhaps no one but Lon Chaney could duplicate. The madman, plotting fels gruese revenge for years of imprisonment on Devil's Island, is played by George Randol, and his equally crazed sister by Susie Sutton. An adventurous American youth just out of the army, as played by Ted Blackman, lends a lighter touch to this strange drama of the Paris Underworld.

It is by far more thrilling than "State Street Sadie."

New Management Presents Butterbeans and Susie At Lincoln Theatre
The Lincoln Theatre celebrated its first week under the management of Frank Schifman by giving its patrons the best show which has played at that theatre in years. Banging hammers, swishing paint brushes, droning electric drills and the presence of dozens of mechanics during the past few days told the patrons of the theatre and the hundreds who pass there daily that something unusual was going on in the Lincoln.
From the newly painted doors the spick and span uniformed ushers, to the attractive stage illumination, there was an atmosphere which has new, inviting, invigorating. And when the show started promptly at 1:30, the audience sensed that a new era had dawned in the management of the Lincoln Theatre. After witnessing the performance, they were enthusiastic in their prizes of both stage and screen plays
The stage program is "Radio Follies," starring those world-famous comedians "Butterbeans and Susie. This particular pair of entertainers have not appeared at the Lincoln Theatre for ten years. Their appearance on the stage was the signal for a demonstration which fairly shook the walls of the theatre. And they responded in a way which showed why they are toda y at the very top line of colored performers. The revue which Butterbeans and Susie have is the finest in which they have ever appeared and one of the best seen in the city. It is one and one half hours of side-splitting comedy, peppy dances and sweet music. If the new management of the theatre can supply the patrons of the Lincoln with this type of entertainment, the past glory and popularity of the theatre will be quickly revived.
The photoplay part of the program included as its feature "Sal of Singapore," a melodrama of the Underworld life of San Francisco and China. Phyllas Haver is the star, enacting the role of a woman of the streets whose soul is purified through the love of a little, homeless woman to the Lincoln Theatre this week will give you a splendid afternoon or evening's entertainment.
Jack Johnson Next Week
What will probably be the most remarkable program in Harlem will be presented at the Lincoln Theatre next week. Jack Johnson the greatest fighter the world has ever seen will be seen at the head of a reuse created by Leonard Harper. Since his recent appearance on the stage of the Lafayette Theatre, Johnson has appeared in some of the leading theatres of the country and has been hailed as a great attraction. He has changed his 'act' to demonstrate some of the slow-mouched blows in his famous ring battles. He will also tie some secrets of the prize ring to the world thought were buried with Tex Rickard.
The revue in which Johnson is being staffed is called "Crazy Rhythm Blues." It is the greatest of Harper's creations. The feature act in this revue is Al Moore and Freddie Washington who have just returned from a tour of the capitals of Europe where they were hailed as among the world's greatest dancers.
be one of the most unique and enjoyable stage offerings in the city it will be presented by a cast of sixty-half of whom are Spanish

DOINGS AMONG PULLMAN PORTERS -: GENERAL NEWS §
THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE
AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYES
NEGROES AND THE PULLMAN SERVICE
Ir as quite true, as Mr, Leater Walton has stated in a recent article
on the passing of Negro waiters in the resort hotels and restaurants
of Florida, Negroes still retain their popularity us servitors on dining
cars and in the Pullman service, despite the introduction of white ser-
sitors im many places formerly filled exclusively by Negroes, Hut
from the statements of a Pullman tan, whose connection with the
Pullman management is close enough to clothe them with a certain
degree of credibility, Negroes in the Pullman service came perilously
near at one time to losing some of this popularity. The statements
from which this opinion is culled were uttered prior to Mr, Walton's
arucle, and were made in the course uf converration between the Pull-
man man and the writer on certain phases of the Pullman service.
During this talk, the subject of the employment of Filipinos came
uy The writer wanted to know if the brown men were proving sat-
islactory. So far as he knew, said the Pullman representative, they
were,
“Dut,” added the representative, "it wasn't the number of Filipinos
that were being employed at one time by the management that gave
me so much concern for om Negro porters, as it was the knowledge
thatMr, A—— had gone to Canada for the express purpote of observ-
ing the service of white porters on Canadian railroads.”
Since the World War, most of the Canadian railroads have re-
placed Negro porters with white porters on their parlor car lines.
“Now Mr, A——is the dominant figure in the management of the
Pullman service. Whatever he docs and says regarding its pohcies
and operations, goes. ad he been impréised with the service of
these white porters, and had decided to employ white men as porters
‘on Pullman parlor ‘car line3, therewoRld poe ben little dissent from
the Pullman Company, for he is credited 4vith being the (nancial and
(uanagerial czar of this corporation,” said the Pullman man.
“But wouldn't the American traveling public have rebelled against
any such drastic move on the paft of the company, especially, sdter
looking upon the Negro Pullman porter as a national institution?”
quened the writer.
“Yes, most likely, there would have been remonstrances irom a cei
tain class of travellers, but these would not have come from the class
that could have prevented it. In fact, I am inclined to the belief that
had such a move taken place, the protestations against it would not
have been any more apparent or weighty than they were when the
Filipinos were first employed by the company. About the most satis-
faction the Negro porters would have gotten from the public would
have been, ‘It's too bod.’
“But, why,” pressed the writer, “did Mr. A——get the feeling that
he wanted to change from Negro porters to white porters? I have al-
ways labored under the impression that Mr. A— took pride in speak-
ing of the number of Negrocs employed by the Pullman Company,
and that it was through him that many of our Negro professional men
were allowed to work in the service during vacation periods until they
had finished their schooling. Furthermore, they say, he takes pride in
the athietic and musical activities of the porters.”
"Well, it is my belief, that that was just it; be got peeved at Ne-
groes", replied the representative. Mr. A—— didn’t think that cer-
tain Negroes had treated the Pullman Company with fiarness, after
what st had done for some members of the race. He believed thot
the activities of the porters in a certain movement should have been
left entirely to the porters and the sponsors of the movement, and
that the Negro press, Negro ministers and Nexroes of other profes-
sions should have idopted a hands-off atttude, The interference of
these agencies didn’t help the porters’ cause any, as you are aware,
And while I merely offer this as a personal opinion as to why the
move was contemplated, still it wouldn't be at all surprising to me
to learn that this explznation covered the case.”
Without any belief or disbehef as to the merits of the explana-
tion given for the contemplated move, the fact that it did not mater-
tahze 1s the most important thing. It 1s difficult to imagine the Pull-
man Company displacing its Negro porters with white porters, yet
stranger things than this have happened to Negroes. Fut instance:
the displacing of Negro waiters in Florida hotel
‘Then, again, one cannot well fancy the managing executive of a
Qusiness as affluent as the Pullman company taking revenge on its em-
ployees merely because certain members of the employees’ race have
proved, according to his ideas, to be sngrates On the other hand,
there 18 nothing strange about the feeling It 1s nothing out of the or-
cbnary in human psychology for Mr. A—to heve reasoned somewhat
ike this: “Well, these Negro leaders are cbusing the company by call-
ing it a slaye-driver, and all that sort of stuff, so we'll free some of
these ‘slaves’ Perhaps that will ease some of the clamor. It may
sive them & proper perspective of how much of a slaver the company
really 1s."
‘On second thought, however, Mr. —— decided the compzny
would do no such thing. The writer doesn't know what others may
think about the matter, but it’s hs opimon that it would be a blue day
for unskilled Negro labor in America, wete the Pullman Company to
decide tht at had no further need for Nexroes on its cars
No one can well blame the resentment of this Pullman official
against the industrial interference of certain Negro agencies In the
porter’s case, it appears to some persons that these agencies are mak-
ie effous to scale a ball when all around them are mountains to be

She said, however, that its members were women of serious intent and that they were happy to use the means of expressing their pride and appreciation of Mrs. Roberts. She spoke in appreciation of Miss Fauent on behalf of the club and at the close of her effective remarks, introduced Dr W E. B.

Miss Fauset responded beautifully, telling something of her experiences as a writer, expressing deep appreciation to her friends and colleagues, club members, to her publishers, the Stokes people, and ending her story with an appreciation to her sister with her Fauset Laughing, whose unfulfilling help and sympathy has been her greatest inspiration.

THE NEW YORK AGE
St. Valentine's Day Party Pleases Girls Of West 137th St. Y
Y. W. C. A. club girls think it is fine to have an occasion to celebrate. Especially such a one as St Valentine's Day, with its delightful implications and its gay decorations of white and red. A Valentine Club supper is now an annual event in the Business and Industrial Club Department, this one held on Thursday, February 14 being the second one. The supper was held in the Blue Dining Room White table cloths, red candies, red place cards and song sheets, and dressed dolls made the tables very attractive. No succulence of food was sacrificed for a color scheme. Neither candied sweets, hot biscuits, lettuce with Russian dressing nor the ice cream and caramel cake, were strictly red and white but then the luscious baked ham and creamed cauliflower were, and with piping hot coffee and Valentine candies to top it off, the supper was voted a huge success.
There was a little singing-not much, because or the interference of food, but the music furnished-h Miss Hattie Edwards at the piano was "top notch," and the girls had no end of fun playing the games which Miss Viola Lewis led. Miss Lewis, Mrs Joseph Grey, the department chairman and Mrs M W Williams, Business and Industrial secretary, were hostesses for the party. The cafeteria, of which Mrs Susan Adams Lightson is director, received the high praise of all the participants. Mrs Nora Jiles Hill conducted a beautiful and inspiring service Sunday afternoon, February 17 The services was based on the Lord's Prayer Mrs. Olga Wilson Moss of the Branch Dramatico Class did the reading for the service, and Mrs Vernon Johns played the incidental music.
The membership group, which meets on every Thursday evening, and in such a live and growing group, recently presented Miss Eva Vaughan, soprano, in recital. Miss Vaughan had a large and appreciative audience whom she charmed with her singing. She sang French, German and English songs and a group of Spirituals arranged by Hary Burleigh. Miss Ida May Northern accompanied Mii's Vaughan in all of her selections except one, "The Auction Block," which was written by Chauceau Northern, and Mr. Northern, himself, accompanied Miss Vaughan in this number.
There have been several meetings at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A., Brooklyn, to formulate plans for the joint memorial service for the late N. Barnett Dodson, Louise M. Fayerweather and Maritcha Remond Lyons.
The organizations and their representatives sponsoring this memorial service are: Sons of Virginia, T. P. Moseley, Chas. C. Curts, John W. Winters, J. H. Dickerson, Benjamin Williams, I. S. Walker, Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A. Dr. J. E. Moorland, E. H. Wilson, A. L. Comther, Kings County Republian Club, G. Gilbert; Empire State Federation of Women's Club, Mrs. W. R.

Mrs. Julia Carr-Pierce Dies Suddenly Feb. 12
On Tuesday afternoon, February 12, Mrs Julia Julia-Carr-Pierce, mother of the Rev Sister Mary Agnes Carr-Morris, senior deacons of African Orthodox Church, while on an errand of church duty for her daughter, who is ill, was stricken and died suddenly in the hallway of 678 St Nicholas avenue.
Mrs Pierce left home apparently hale and hearty but was discovered in the hallway by a chance passerby, who summoned an officer and assisted in finding a chair for her. Before the stranger Guild return with a cup of tea for the stricken woman, the end had come. A strange circumstance is that she had always expressed a desire to pass away without angering her son.
She was born in Hartford, Conn., but lived in Boston, Mass., up to three years ago, when she came to New York to live with her daughter at 256 West 135th street.
The full ritualistic service of the African Orthodox Church was conducted by His Emencem. Bishop Alexander McGuire, founder and head, amid a bower of flowers in the funeral home of A J Hylton, 256 West 135th St, on Friday, February 15. Assisting masters were Rev J C Simons, Rev Father Nurse and Rev Father Miller of Brooklyn. The full vested choir of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Mrs Iris Jacobs, organist, participated in the service. She is survived by a daughter, Agnes Carr-Morris; a son, Arthur Carr, a grandson, Arthur Carr jr., and two nieces, Julia Brooks and Ella Luaries. Interment was in St Michael Cemetery on Saturday morning, Father Nurse officiating at the grave.

"During the last year in high school, I felt very weak and run-down. Several of my friends told me about Cardul and suggested that I try it. When I went to college I weighed 95 pounds, so I decided to try Cardul, and when the school year was up, I weighed 130 pounds.
