HARLEM'S POOR AND NEEDY FAMILIES RECEIVE FOOD SUPPLIES FROM LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND FROM THE CITY AT POLICE STATION, SCHOOL, & CLUB
The Mayor's Committee for relief of needy families in the New York City area started its definite functioning on Friday, November 14, by the distribution of cartons containing sufficient food for a family of four for four days, from certain police stations throughout the city. In Harlem about twenty patrolmen, under Captain Frank Bradey, were assigned to the task of handling the distribution of food to more than 800 of the neediest families in Harlem, whose condition had previously been investigated by the police.

HARLEM RECEIVE ORGAN AT PO
The Mayor's Committees in the New York City functioning on Friday, distribution of cartons contain family of four for four stations throughout the city.
In Harlem about twenty Frank Bradey, were handling the distribution of the neediest families in had previously been invest
hen was in charge of the distribution which started shortly after 9 o'clock, the baskets and boxes having been made up at the Bronx Terminal Market, 151st and Exterior streets, and delivered to the 32nd Brenton the night before. The Bronx street station house did not have sufficient room for the distribution so the food was transferred across the street to the gymnasium of the Harriet Beecher Store Junior High School for girls, P. 115, and placed upon a long row of tables, from which it was safely passed into the waiting hands of the long row of men, women and children.
He lives weighed on an average
weight of pounds, and some of the
children were not strong
to handle them. In these
the policemen themselves as
the poor folks with their
hands to the street door, or called
the men out of the line
to the women and children.
The men then returned and got
her own boxes.
Commissioner Mulrooney Present
Police Commissioner Edward P.
Mulrooney, Commissioner of Well
fare Frank J. Taylor and Deputy,
Chief Inspector John J. Hennessey
came in about 12.30 to look over the
distribution, and gave expressions of
praise to Captain Brady and his
men for the splendid manner in
which they handled the situation.
Each box or basket contained
ample supplies of potatoes, onions,
beets, carrots, cabbage, coffee, mar-
caroni or spaghetti, and bread.
Then as the people were being given
their food, the local policemen put
a carton containing a half dozen
grade A eggs in the box.
The policemen assisting in the distribution, besides Captain Brady and Patrolman McMahon, were Patrolman Martin McNulty, David Eagan, James Turner, William Hunter, Carl Jordan, William Atdiff, Edward Jackson, John Walsh, Ernest Olphin, Allen Benton, Martin Rhodes, Jackson, Olphin and Joidan were in charge of packing the eggs
FOOD GIVEN AT P. S. 119
A vital and significant effort to relieve the present and distressful conditions was inaugurated two weeks ago by Miss Anna E. Lawson and her staff of teachers at P. S.
THE
Principal of P. S. 119, which is dispensing food to the poor.
119, 133rd street and Eighth avenue. Discovering that many of the children attending that school were in poor physical condition through lack of proper food, the teachers voluntarily donated a part of their salary toward a fund for the purchase of food supplies to be used in relieving temporarily the needs of families of their pupils. Many of the children, it was found, came to school without having had air breakfast and with no means to get lunch.
These are taken care of in the school cafeteria each day, more than one hundred being given hot cocoa soup and sandwiches each day. Besides, shoes are gotten from the Board of Education for those children unable to get them otherwise, and many articles of clothing co-

tributed by children from families in better circumstances are given the poorer pupils. In the extra work entailed by this charity, Miss Lawson is being given the hearty cooperation of the assistant principal, Mrs. Charlotte von Meske, the entire staff of teachers and the larger girl pupils. The girls are divided into details, each group giving up their lunch period to service in the school cafeteria, serving the tables and then washing up the mugs and dishes used in serving the poor children.
Food Sent To Families
The substitute teachers, who are not regularly employed, and who report each morning in the hope of getting work, are also willingly giving of their time and effort in aiding the poor. Failing to get work, these teachers go into the cafeteria and assist in preparing the food for the needy and in serving it.
The funds contributed by the teachers are used in purchasing bulk groceries for distribution to those families of the pupils which are discovered to be without food. Upon receiving such information, a bag containing food sufficient for two days for four people is sent immediately to the home. These bags contain bread, if the mother has to go out to work, or flour and baking powder if she remains at home, a small piece of cured or fresh meat, potatoes, canned corn, tomatoes, and speaches, spaghetti, coffee, evaporated milk, Karo cup, cocoa, sugar and oatmeal.
After the bag is delivered, a visiti- teacher or truant other calls and makes a personal investigation then refers the family to either the police relief, the Salvation Army, or the Cotton Club, for permanent aid
Starks, general manager of the Cotton Club, happened to pass one of the bread lines downtown, and was struck by the large number of men waiting to get food. Then he read in the daily papers, that of the various efforts to relieve the poor none were in Harlem. He took the matter up with his associates, and suggested that the Cotton Club could do something tangible toward relieving the Harlem situation.
His associates agreed, and the funds necessary for the carrying out of the plan were authorized to be used out of the club receipts. No donations from other sources are accepted, the only contribution the employees and entertainers are permitted to make being their personal service each morning from seven to nine, when a substantial breakfast of beef or lamb stew and bread is served to all who come, without any distinction. No red tape attached to this effort, the only rule being first come, first served, until the day's allotment is exhausted.
The Daily Food Supply
The daily food supply consists of 90 pounds of lamb or beef; 50 pounds of onions, 125 pounds of potatoes; 50 pounds of carrots, 12 stalks of celery, all chopped up and made into a rich savory stew, which leading chefs in Harlem declare to be as tasty as any made anywhere in the city. Besides, 140 leaves of bread are used daily.
All men who come are fed in the club at the small tables at which the club patrons sit. Women come with receptacles in which to carry food home for their families, and they are supplied in accordance with the number of their dependants. In some cases where mothers with

Charged As Drug Seller, Jumps From Window To Death
When Detectives Boyden, Robinson and Garvey of the 32nd Precinct cornered Jacob Griffin, 28, and two friends in Griffin's room at 39-41 West 127th street, Wednesday night, November 12, Griffin jumped from the window into the court below and was so badly hurt he died a few hours later in Harlem Hospital.
The police invaded the apartment on the report that Griffin was handling drugs. A large quantity of heroin was found on the premises, as well as a pistol.
Those found in the apartment and who were arrested were: Moses Minns, 28, of 11 West 127th street; and Alphonzo Jones, 28, of 2441 Seventh avenue. They also were found to possess seventeen decks of heroin in their person.
They were held without bail to await the action of the Grand jury.
Stabbed By Husband, Refuses to Prosecute, Is Held As a Witness
Leon Branch, of 529 West Irvin Place, Brooklyn, was held in $1,500 bail in Washington Heights Court on Monday, on complaint of his wife, Mrs. Paulife Branch, who lives at 244 West 122nd street, Manhattan. Mrs. Branch testified that on the 9th day of last August at her home address, her husband inflicted a severe stab wound on her arm, which caused her to remain in Harlem Hospital for several weeks. Mrs. Branch refused to press the charge, but when Police Officer Flinton of the 32nd Precinct told of the trouble that the case had given him, the woman was held in $100 bail as a material witness to await the action of the Grand Jury.
Bartender Sho To Death In Speakeasy
Frank Reda, white, was shot to death Sunday night at 9 o'clock in a speakeasy at 2479 Eighth avenue. It is said that Reda was employed as a hartender by Joseph Woods, address unknown, and that two colored men went in the place to be served. Reda and the two men began an argument, which resulted in Reda's being shot through the heart. He was pronounced dead by Dr. Winters of Harlem Hospital.
Reception to Dr. Haynes At Hotel Woodstock
Dr. George E. Haynes will be the guest of honor at a reception and dinner at the Hotel Woodstock, West 43rd street, Friday evening, November 21, at 7 p.m. The reception is being given by the Committee on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches in America of which Dr. Haynes is the executive secretary. The guest of honor recently returned from a six months stay in South Africa, and he will talk on his experiences in that country. Many prominent white and colored citizens will be present.
E. B. Webster Robbed In the Y. M. C. A. Lobby
F. R. Webster, formerly on Florence, S. C., but now a resident of New York City, and an agent for The New York Age, was roibed of hat raincoat, hat and umbrella at the 135th Street, V. M. C. A. on Monday, November 17.
Mr. Webster went into the Y lobby out of the rain and took off his coat and hat, which disappeared a few minutes later, along with the umbrella.
The spacious auditorium and balcony of Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. James Walter Brown, pastor, with a total seating capacity of 2,100, was wellnigh filled on Sunday afternoon, November 16, at 2:30 p. m., when a host of bright-eyed youngsters, boy and girl pupils in eight of the city's public schools in Harlem, marched, with banners flying in to the main auditorium, escorting Mayor James J. Walker, who was present to present the new Health Center to the people of Harlem; Health Commissioner Shirley W. Wynne, and a notable group of high city officials
It was a thrilling sight—to see some five hundred boys and girls filing bravely and courageously up the three aisles of the church and quietly, with fine precision, taking their seats in the front half of the room, to the strains of martial music as played by Mrs. Mary Ellsworth, supervisor of music in the public schools.
Immediately they were in place, the music changed into the strains of "America," and the entire audience stood while, that hymn was being sung, led by the school children, under direction of Mrs Robert L. Peace, in charge of the Glee Club from P. S. 119. After earnest invocation by the Rev. Dr. Brown, in which he specifically asked God's blessing on His Honor, the Mayor, and the civic government the children sang with splendid effects, two Spirituals, "Deep River" and "Heav'n! Heav'n!"

Responded to Mayor Walker for Mothers and Children of Harlem.
Health Center, its need and its purpose, prior to presenting Mayor Walker. Dr. Wynne said this is the first Health Center to be established in New York City, and perhaps in the entire country. He explained its purpose as being to help prevent the spread of disease by getting the service to the people. He pointed out that under his administration the infant death rate had been materially reduced from 50 of each 1,000, to a probable 11 per thousand for the current year. The death rate from diphthera, he said, is only one third of what it formerly was, and he expressed the hope that in a short while the dread disease will be entirely eradicated.
Major Walker, upon being introduced, declared that when the hour approached for him to come to Mother Zion Church, he did not think it much of a day, reiterating to the steady, penetrating, chilly

Astrologically Considered
Harlem's Poor and Needy Families
Receive Food Supplies from City
By “THEARCHER”
All those who” have birthdates in
this week will need to be careful
not to deceive others or to be .se-
ceived by others, Neptune, the mys-
tic planet, is in adverse position for
the people of this week for a period
of several, years,- and will bring
about many changes in the social
and vocational fields to tho’s, who do
not try to think clearly, *
‘Those who can not. remember very
easily should not thine that they
are losing the mind, but should try
writing down all of the important
facts or ideas that they have, In
fact, a memorangum book should be
carried around by those of this
group. Nothing should be bought
fon the ‘time payment plan, and no
money should be loaned ar borrow-
ed, None of this group: should try
to get rich quick or invest without
very good judgment“if they wish to
Keep the money that they have, A
reliable bank is the only place that
they should consider. Strangers and
doubtful friends should be watched.
The days that will require care in
December’ are: 4, 8, 11, 14, 17, 23,
23. This paragraph could be: reread
fon these days with benefit to those
who like to be prepared. These days
are not.to be used in-any other
month. Quarrels, will lose really
worth while friends. :
The ‘birthyear for November 22
will bring many opportunities for
social and vocational gain to. those
who have ambition; and yet itcis best
to atick to those things that have al-
ready been started and to old friend-
thips. Changes in the , employment
will come to nearly every one, and
can be made to advantage if good
judgment is used, The year can be
very good. The health and diet
should be guarded,
Those who begin another birth:
year on November 23 will experience
sudden changes in the domestic and
family affairs. Those, who try to
be patient and thqushiful” wil ot
find the year so difficult. Financial
affairs will require very - careful
judgment, Legal mitters are ad-
verse. Those who can believe that
better times are coming will’ not re-
gret the, faith that they have, and
will lear -some worth while lessons
November 24 begins a bicthyear
thar will bring about changes in the
domestic affairs “for the- women o}

The fairmindedness of Port Appraiser F. J. H. Kracke and one of his deputies was shown recently in the promotion of the Rev. B J. Lowry to a forensic testimony. According to reports, the Rev. B Lowry, who resides at 527 Washington avenue, was in line for promotion, but the white man who was his immediate superior did not feel inclined to make the recommendation. A deputy insisted that the recommendation be made, and when it was not made, he took the matter up with Mr. Kracke, who gave instructions in no uncertain words that the Rev. Mr. Lowry be promoted, because he had merited it. This was done forthwith. Mr. Kracke is the Republican leader of the 21st A. D. and one of the powers of the party in this state.
Since he has been Port Appraiser, much encouragement has been given our group to enter the Federal service under him. When ever he could make an appointment for temporary work until the appointee could pass the civil service examination, he has done so.
Several well known Brooklynites have entered the service since he has been the appraiser. Among them are George Billups, a Spanish War veteran, and former Republica leader of the 16th A. D. Walter A. Peterson, a past aide ruler of the Elks: Baker Fowlkes, also a prominent Ek; Clarence Holland, Republica leader of the 17th A. D., and others.
Holland played a big part in the election of ex-Assembler Robert K Story of the Assembly in the recent election. Story, the only Republican Assemblyman to be elected in Kings County, and by only 792 majority, admits that the colored votes elected him.
This district has the largest Negro vote in the county, and yet from reports there were only about 1,500 registered Negro voters, when there should have been at least 3,000.
Two Men Held For Special Sessions
Detective, William Seckinger of the Atlantic avenue station arrested Jacob Cumberbatch of $^{1794}$ Dean street, and Archie Alleye of 1907 Pacific street a few days ago on the complaint of Frank Williams of 1808 Dean street, who alleges that he was assaulted by them. Both have been held for Special Sessions.
According to Detective Seckinger, Williams, who is a chauffeur, and a well known character on "Dean Heights," was hit on the head with a lead pipe in an argument with the two men. The cause of the row is not known.
Following their arrest, the men were hailed before Magistrate Walsh in the Sixth District Court, who held them for the court of Special Sessions.

468 Franklin Ave.—Brooklyn, N. Y.
(Corner Avenue, Ave.)
What was considered the biggest and best demonstration of the Knights of Pythias and Order of Courts of Calanthe (alphabetical) ever held in Brooklyn took place on Thursday evening, November 13 when the members of both branches of the order in Brooklyn and Long Island staged their mounster street parade and dance. The dance, which was preceded by a short program, was held in the spacious Crystal ballroom of the Elks' at 1008 Fulton street. There was such a crowd that the grill room was also used.
Over 600 Sir Knights and Calanthes were in the line of march which was formed at Lefferts place and Classioi avenue. They were led by the famous 1st New York Brigade band of the Uniform Rank, of which Lieut. A. Phillips is the leader. This band defeated the crack O. V. Catto band of O. V. Catto Lodge of Elks of Philadelphia on October 26 in a contest in Manhattan. General Presston Cumberbatch, head of the uniform rank in the state, and his staff headed the parade. His chief aid was Col. Arthur Pope, commander of the first regiment, which is composed of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalions. This also includes the uniform ranks of the Order of Calanthe, the C. D. C.
Because of the lateness of the hour of starting, the parade did not go the entire distance. From Lefferts place the marchers went to Franklin avenue, to Jefferson avenue to Throop avenue, to Herkimer street, to Bedford avenue, to Lefferts place. They disbanded at the Elks home.
Here a short program was rendered, General Roland R. Johnson, who is 'grand lecturer of the order in this state, and also a member of the Supreme Lodge, was master of ceremonies United States Assistant. District Attorney Francis F. Giles was the principal speaker.
Mr. Giles is a past chancellor commander of Ben Hur Lodge of the K. of P. In his talk he lauded the Knights of Pythias in particular, and fraternities in general. He praised the drive for new members and spoke of the 5,000 subordinate lodges in the U. S. with 376,000 members, with negotiable assets owned by the order throughout its supreme department of over $11,000,000, thus making it the largest Negro fraternity in the United States. While these organizations do much good, Mr. Giles asserted that he believed more good could be done through political activity. Dr. Johnson, the master of ceremonies, in his introductory remarks, took occasion to claim that he believed the fraternal organizations working as unit could be of more aid to the Negro.
Mrs. Gertrude Brawner, a member of Naomi Court of the O. C. C. was also one of the speakers. She delivered a short but eloquent address on the Calanthes and woman's influence for good in the church, fraternal and political world. General Cumberbatch and Grand Worthy Councillor Bessie Johnson of the O. C. C., also delivered short addresses. Grand Chancellor Sir Lee Crawford, was expected to be present, but was detained by business of the order unstate.
The speechmaking was, preceded by a fine musical program rendered by the Pythian Band. Among the numbers played were "Gloria" and the Overture from "Faust." These were played in the recent band contest, and from all indications the band will be invited to Brooklyn again; for they made a great hit. After the program was finished, dancing was indulged in. The music was provided by the orchestra of the Rexington musical band. The dance was attended by 500 persons prominent in the civic business and fraternal life of Brooklyn, Long Island and Manhattan.
The committee that was responsible for this great demonstration was headed by Chancellor 'Commander James E. Green of Excelsior Lodge, No. 22; Other officers were 'Laura Dixon, vice-chairman; Margaret B. Quarles, financial secretary; Jennie Copidge; assistant secretary; Claudia Starnes, corresponding secretary; Henry De Jan, recording secretary; Malvin Smith, assistant recording secretary; W. W. Duckwiller, treasurer. C. C. Robert L. Zeno of Unity 28 was chairman of the committee on arrangements, and Lulu Fletcher was chairman of the refreshments committee, Capt. W. W. Fletcher of Excelsior lodge, was marshal for the parade, assisted by Sergeant Leon Butler and Charles Crowder.
Thursday night, November 20, will he a big night for the thousands of Elks. Daughter Elks and their friends, as it is the night of the ball that is being given for sweet charity's sake. It will take place at the Elks'
Crystal Ballroom, 1068 Fulton street. The music will be provided by Chas. Skeete and his "Aristocrats of Jazz." The proceeds will go towards giving an annual donation to the Home for Aged Colored People, and giving Christmas baskets to the needy of the community.

The visit had been pre-arranged by the Brooklyn lodges-and courts, and Rockville Center was decided upon as the central point. The gathering assembled at the Shiloh Baptist Church The Brooklyn delegation was greeted by representatives from the seven lodges and guest courts on the Island W. Fletcher of Excelsior Lodge was chairman of the committee that was in charge of the delegation and Leon Butler was secretary.
The visit which had been arranged by the committee that will entertain the 42nd annual grand lodge session which will be held in Brooklyn next year, has brought about a closer tie between the Brooklyn members and the Long Island members of the order. It made such an impression that it will be extended to make another visit. A number of interesting and instructive addresses were made by members of the Grand Lodge Court and the subordinate lodges and courts Grand Lecturer Roland R. Johnson was master of ceremonies.
Among those who spoke were Grand Worthy Councillor Bessie Johnson of the Order of Calan-the; Grand Lodge Auditor Robert L. Zeno Siri Knights John H. Pickman district deputy for Long Island; Chancellor Commander J. F. Green of Excelsior Lodge, No. 22

The police want him for the alleged shooting and killing of Harry Brister, who was an usher in the Mount Lebanon Baptist Church, of which Adams was a deacon. The police received a tip that Adams was in the house, but when they arrived he had just left. They took up the trail but was unable to get their man, who is 5 feet, ten inches tall, weighs about 140 pounds, and has black hair and black eyes. It is reported that Adams, who lived at 86 Marion street, had been asked by Brister, who was 39 years old, to remain away from his home Brister returned home on October 11, it is reported, and found the man there.
Brister is alleged to have knocked him down. This was followed by the shooting of Brister. It is not stated whether the deacon went home and not his gun or that he had it with him, but according to the record, the usher, was shot twice, one butter going into his chest and the other in the ablution. At first reports, much mystery surrounded the cause of the shooting. Brister was taken to the hospital and date on October 18.

HOW THE NUMBERS HIT.
There was an unprecedented demand reported last week for a certain out of town weekly, which for some time puzzled the newdealers of Harlem, until one of them found out that the article which led to the demand was a tabulated record of the number hits produced by the clearing house reports for last year. Some ingenious and industrious soul. had tabulated these figures by days and months, showing the three digits, that were money winners on the respective dates.
There was an unprecedented demise reported last week for a certain outspoken weekly, which for some time puzzled the newsdealers of Harlem, until one them found out that the article which hit the demand was a tabulated record. The number hits produced by the clear house reports for last year. Some ingenious and industrious soul had tabulated these figures by days and months, showing the three digits, that were money writers on the respective dates.
As there were only three numbers to come out as many as three times during the year, while twenty-six numbers came out twice, we do not see much to game in that dope. To be sure, one number came out five times, but that also leaves a slim margin for the regular play. Maybe, the adept at games of chance take more out of this dope sheet than not versed in numerology, but as some is a sure thing for the dealer as now, the ordinary player has but a science of winning in the long run.

The regular patron of such skin games merely paying over his earnings to such the gambblers who are not even giving him a fair break for his money.

As there were only three numbers that came out as many as three times during the year, while twenty-six numbers came out twice, we do not see much to gamble on in that dope. To be sure, one number came out five times, but that also leaves a slim margin for the regular players.

Numbers, as we look at it, is on a par with policy. The dabbler at either of these games may win a long shot. But the regular patron of such skin games is merely paying over his earnings to enrich the gamblers who are not even giving him a fair break for his money. A dope sheet such as the one published serves to stir up interest in the game, but cannot help one to pick a winner. It merely panders to the vice of petty gambling as did the New York daily, which announced on its posters "First Out With the Clearing House Numbers."
HARLEM MOVES FOR SELF
RELIEF.
The measures taken by a group of leading residents of Harlem, under auspices of the New York Urban Leap, give immediate and practical aid to unemployed members of the gr those families are suffering from lack
The measures taken by a group of the leading residents of Harlem, under the auspices of the New York Urban League, to give immediate and practical aid to those unemployed members of the group whose families are suffering from lack of food and clothing, indicate a prompt and sensible appreciation of the serious nature of the present economic crisis. While the reports of the proceedings of the meeting held for organization last week may have overstated the case, as is the habit of daily newspaper writers, the situation is quite serious enough to arouse attention. While the number if unemployed in Harlem was stated at thirty-five thousand, it must not be accepted that all the men seemingly idle on the streets during the day are not working part of the time. That so large a number of idle, or better unemployed, wage earners, were "facing the blackest winter in the history of the Negro race in the history City of New York," may be accepted as a bit of oratorical emphasis added to spur on the activities of the workers, who had enlisted to raise funds and administer relief in those directions where it was most needed. Putting aside the tendency on the part of professional welfare workers to magnify the extent of their labors and so present the situation as darker than it really is, there remains enough want, and suffering caused by lack of jobs to go round, to justify all the relief measures inaugurated by the residents of Harlem.
The most pressing cases of suffering for the bare necessities of life were met by the inauguration of the relief administered by the Mayor's Committee through the police of the various city precincts. This was rendered promptly and efficiently through the members of the force in each district, who were able to investigate the merits of each applicant and distribute food, and in some cases shoes and clothing, where they were most needed. The chief merit of this system of relief was the absence of red tape and overhead expense, the goods supplied being distributed directly to those in need of them. Many of the most pressing cases were met and relieved through this medium in the Harlem district.
At one of the Harlem schools the principal and teachers contributed to distribute food to the families of those children who
appeared to be in need, besides feeding the pupils who came to school without breakfast and who were not provided with lunch. Shoes were also furnished for the pupils in need of such equipment from a fund, provided by the Board of Education. One of the popular night clubs in Harlem gave meals to 385 hungry people last Saturday, it having begun that practice and kept it up during the whole week. The Salvation Army, at its Harlem headquarters has been serving meals to an average of twelve hundred people daily, without distinction of race or color.
While most of the measures of relief so far projected are of a temporary nature, intended to relieve the situation until a more systematic scheme is adopted, it is gratifying to note that the residents of Harlem are alive to the needs of the situation and are banding themselves together to meet the emergency promptly and effectively. The committee formed to plan further measures of relief have decided to urge the property owners of Harlem to spend as much as possible in the improvement of their apartments and tenements, so as to furnish jobs for the jobless. Meanwhile, those who cannot make jobs or give jobs to those seeking work, can at least contribute a dollar or more to the fund to relieve the necessities of the jobless and their dependents.
Without seeking to overdraw the exigencies of the case, there is room to employ all the possible measures of relief for suffering caused by unemployment and consequent destitution and suffering. It is well that the people of Harlem should do their bit to help the unfortunate of their number, though this is no reason why they should not receive the benefits of all the measures of general relief proposed under governmental auspices. Those who strive to help themselves deserve all the help extended to other members of the community.
URBAN LEAGUE ON UNEMPLOYMENT.
What the National Urban League has done and is doing to meet the economic crisis caused by the growth of unemployment among Negroes is succintly summarized in a pithy report of its activities prepared by T. Arnold Hill, director of its Department of Industrial Relations, and Ira DeA. Reid, director of its Department of Research and Investigations. In March 1930 it was estimated that the number of unemployed Negroes was not less than 330,000. In October a re-check of the figures showed that this number had increased to an unheard of extent. The state of unemployment was making the situation quite acute and reports from free employment bureaus in urban centers warranted the statement: that the present unemployment crisis is "the severest test of the urban and industrial adjustment of the Negro worker since the recent immigration."
The larger centers of population, such as Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and New York were affected more than the smaller towns having no basic industries. Figures covering twenty-five cities showed a decrease of 34.5 per cent in the number of available jobs for Negroes during nine months and an increase of 39.9 per cent in number of applicants over the same period for 1929. Unemployment was shown to be increasing in such local fields as Washington, Wilmington, Dell., Springfield, Ill., Gary, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Detroit. In many cases it was reported that the whites were replacing Negroes in occupations hitherto filled by the latter. In some Northern cities white girls were taken on as janitors, elevator operators and as waiters, thus replacing colored men. In the South the whites were doing domestic and menial work hitherto performed by Negroes. Industrial plants that hired Negroes as unskilled labor in the North refused them employment in their Southern branches. In some cases the whites have taken the places of the Negroes at lower wages, thereby reversing the charge hitherto made that the Negro underbid white labor.
Realizing that the present state of employment, so far as it relates to Negro labor, is due to more than technological causes, the Department of Industrial Relations of the Urban League, instituted a Vocational Opportunity Campaign. Fifty cities organized committees for this program, which was conducted during the week April 20 to 27. This effort, it is claimed, resulted in increased opportunities for Negro workers and gave stability to some uncertain situations. In the present emergency the Urban League is seeking to intensify its regular industrial service along the following lines:
1. Gathering data on employment conditions from the country at large to advise Negroes where and under what conditions work is available
2 Releasing to the public authenticated facts and figures on the employment problems of Negroes.
3 Securing business jobs for poor workers.
phasing the necessity for better types of work than those commonly open to them in order that the growing number of trained young people may find employment commensurate with their capacity.
4. Interviewing leaders of business, and labor union officials, in order to secure better occupational advantages.
5. Cooperating with welfare organizations and provide to provide for the participation of Negro workers in programs agreed upon for all workers.
6. Advising Negro workers to improve the quality of service rendered by them.
7. Assisting in the movement to promote accepted vocational guidance standards where they can be made available to Negro youth.
The League also included among its special activities the obtaining of emergency and part-time work and the participation of Negro workers in employment created by governmental agencies to help the unemployed. This is an important matter, which the League has done well to bring within its scope of its activities. The League will also serve on committees and commissions to adjust the unemployed, disseminate information on local employment conditions, provide temporary relief for families of the unemployed and serve as a clearing house for administering relief.
The report emphasizes the fact that the problem of unemployment among Negroes is serious enough to demand special attention, and that, "to offset the inequalities usually found in work relationships involving Negroes and certain to appear during a crisis such as this, special attention will have to be given this group through official agencies functioning in the emergency." It is claimed that normally one out of every eight wage earners is a Negro, and that the race should receive its normal share of employment, both for its own welfare and for the restoration of business.
The Urban League has shown in this survey of the unemployment situation, that it can play an important and useful part in helping to bridge over the emergency, until its aim is attained, that "the color line must be taken out of industry."
A. REPUBLICAN HOPE.
One of he few Republican candidates,ator Congers to survive the late Democratic landslide or tidal wave, whichever it was that struck New York City, the first Tuesday in November, was Mrs. Ruth Pratt. In addition to facing a strong Tammany candidate in the person of Judge Brodsky, Mrs. Pratt had a second opponent in the person of Heywood Broun, the well known columnist and writer, who ran on the Socialist ticket. Notwithstanding all this opposition, Mrs. Pratt won out by over six hundred plurality, in spite of the fact that Mr. Broun garnered over six thousand votes, due largely to his personal popularity as a champion of the under dog in every fight.
The fact that Mrs. Pratt will return to Congress with renewed prestige as a woman representative of a large city district, re-elected in an off year, makes her to a large extent a big hope for Manhattan Republicans. She has the experience of one term in Congress and is in sympathy with the present Republican administration. She knows the desperate state of the Republican party in New York City as illustrated by the close figures by which she was returned for a second term. She knows what means are necessary to reorganize and rehabilitate Republicanism in this city.
With this knowledge and experience, it seems that Mrs. Pratt, as a New York Representative, might establish some sort of sympathetic cooperation with the Republican administration in Washington so as to set in force a militant policy to aid in building up the Republican party in New York City. What is left of the party organization here is due solely to the efforts of such local leaders as Mrs. Pratt in her district, Representative L. Guardia in his, and such exceptionally strong local candidates as the Assemblyman elect in the Seventeenth of Brooklyn.
Even such strongly Republican district as the Nineteenth and Twenty-first of Harlem lost their candidates for the Legislature as well as those for the new Municipal court judges, when a helping hand from the county organization might have resulted in added prestige and patronage for the party.
The crying need of the Republican party in New York is for a stronger leadership looking to building up the party and restoring its vitality as a working political organization, instead of merely means for the unequal distribution of political patronage to a favored few. If Mrs. Pratt can help to bring about a new and virile leadership, she will have done well for the cause of Republicanism in New York City.

was something to this effect: "They say Hoover is through. He will go the way of Taft."
The Telegram is not so sure that this will be the outcome, as it sagely concludes that a lot can happen in two years. It was even suggested that the President might even get mad some day and kick out the hack politicians and yesmen, "who have led him in two short years from the heights of a record popular vote to the depths of his recent election, defeat." The Telegram further said:
If Hoover has the capacity to profit by bitter experience he can build up two years of splendid achievement on top of his past mistakes as President. All he has to do is stop 'compromising and begin to fight. The country is no less in need of a fighting leader today than two years ago when it overwhelmingly elected him as that very leader. The country is crying for leadership now. Hoover's friends say the fickle voters have turned against him and won't give him a chance. Absurd. No one need
Under the slightly ironic heading, "When An Ethiopian is Not an Ethiopian," the Gary American referred to a definition in Webster's International in which the Abyssinians were described "as a mixed Hamito - Semitic people who ... belong fundamentally to the Caucasian division." This led to the following deduction:
So an Ethiopian is not an Ethiopian because he has a strain of Jewish blood in his veins. By the sage reasoning an Aframerican would not be fundamentally a Negro because he has English, Irish, German or Spanish blood in his veins. And that immediately makes all but twenty per cent of us belong to some other race, for no more than twenty per cent of American Negroes, due to slavery and Southern gentlemen, are of pure African descent.
But, in reality these same Nordic scholars who worked so diligently removing Ethiopians from the Ethiopian race because of a strain of Hebrew blood, find that in America the presence of any traceable amount of Negroid blood makes its possessor a Negro, Strange, but it's true. It seems to be the policy of your Nordic to claim everybody who achieves. After the Olympic games of 1924, Finland, who carried off many high honors, was described in the daily press as being a Nordic country, although she was scientifically classed with the Mongolian or yellow race. It was indeed regretful that the anthropologists could not, at the time of their classification, have forgeen Finland's future. Possibly in self-defense, many a Negro has for a long time been trying to prove to the world that Jesus Christ, David and many another Biblical character was a Negro. So it goes.
Until Ethiopia is conquered by some strong European nation or indulges in too many of Western civilization's taboos, an Ethiopian will not be an Ethiopian. So the country which lends its name to a race, according to Blumenbach's accepted classification, is not people by members of that race
Three cheers for Nordic logic!
All this fine spun sophistry is attributed to the fact that Abyssina possesses considerable natural resources and has so far resisted European efforts at exploitation.
A significant note of the recent campaign was sounded in the reasons assigned by the Portland Advocate why colored voters were going to vote for a Republican candidate for Congress, from Oregon. It recited his special service to the race as follows:
Congressman Korell has demonstrated his interest in the man tarthest down in a number of ways. For example he is a member of an interracial group working to make the American Negro physically free from ennage, mentally free from ignorance; politically free from distranchissement and socially free from insult. It will be recalled by many that Mr. Korell voted for the passage of the. Dyer anti-lynching bill to make Lynching a federal crime when that measure, a few years ago passed the House by a two-to-one vote. In response to requests of some of his colored constituents, Rep. Korell introduced and secured the passage of a, special bill granting a lifetime pension to Mrs. Alice E. Holliday of Portland, Oregon. The bill which was introduced last November recently became a law.
William Duncan Allen, a Portland young man, an instructor in the music department at Howard University, Washington, D. C., has been granted the privileges of the music department of the Congressional library at Washington through the courtesy of Mr. Korell. The privileges of the library as a rule are extended only to the members of Congress and other national officials. He actively engaged in the effort which secured larger appropriations for Howard University, largest school of its kind for Negro education.
This shows that discriminating voters demand more than a party label to win their support.
give him a chance, no one can give him a chance. He has the chance already and no one can take it away from him now. That is what the Presidency of the United States is. He is in the most powerful position in all the world. He can do what not even Kings and -Emperors can do. A President can govern, if he will. Hoover has the power. He has the mind. He has the good intentions. But it also takes courage. He has not shown courage in the-White House yet. If he had, he would not be on, the defensive as he is today.
We would be glad to believe with the Telegram that Mr. Hoover was capable of taking the leadership of that, the country, demands and leading it into the paths of peace and justice. But so far he has failed to demonstrate either the will or the capacity to stand up for human rights and equal opportunity for all classes of American citizenship. That demands courage, as the Telegram says. Time will show whether Mr. Hoover possesses that essential gift.
The following news item, taken from the Iowa Bystander, published at Des Moines, shows the increasing tendency of women to qualify for civil service:
Mrs. Agnes Lee Hermansen, recorder of Polk county, announces this week the appointment of Miss Anna Mae Manuel as a deputy county recorder effective October 31. Miss Manuel has been employed in the county recorder's office since August 1. So satisfactory has been her service that Mrs. Hermansen said she was glad to recognize the efficiency of Miss Manuel by appointing her as a deputy recorder.
Miss Manuel's appointment marks the first appointment of a colored deputy in the recorder's office. She is a graduate of North High school where she finished with high honors, being president of her home room, a member of the student council, president of her sewing class and chairman of several committees. After graduating from North High, Miss Manuel attended the State University of Iowa for two years. She resides with her mother, Mrs Ruth Moore, at Des Moines, Iowa.
The action of the county recorder in recognizing the ability of one of her own sex is calculated to upset some prevalent notions: as to feminine failings in that particular.
The widespread popularity of card playing either as a pastime, or more often a fad or craze, was illustrated by an editorial plea in the Northwest Monitor of Minnesota for "A Bridgeless Week." It said: "I wish someone would declare a bridgeless week from November 10 to 1/1," remarked a Community Fund worker the other day.
The speaker, a woman drive captain, had been experiencing some difficulty in getting solicitors to help carry on the work of the drive. In many cases the excuse had been, Oh, I have several parties that week. I'm sorry, but I just haven't the time."
This year, in response to a greater need, the Fund quota is considerably higher than it has been in recent years. Consequently the need for workers who can give time and enthusiasm to their laborers is also increased. Where are those workers to be found?
Strangely enough many of the most earnest and faithful solicitors are to be found among persons already pressed with work necessary to their own livelihood or the welfare of their families. This is admirable but it should not be the rule. It is only a fair apportionment of things that those who are supported by the efforts of others and consequently have a greater proportion of leisure should spend more time in the service of those who need. It is a sorry mal-adjustment of values which places parties and entertainments before needed work for the good of the community.
The Minneapolis editor sagely concluded that a bridgeless week would not be a bad thing for the community, regardless of the demands of the auction or contract game.
Under the heading of "The Reaper Comes," the Birmingham Reporter paid a moving tribute to two Alabamians who recently ended their labors. It said:
The passing of Prof. E. C. Roberts of Tuskegee and Prof W. J. Echols of Birmingham within a few days of each other reminds us forcefully that the Grim. Reaper takes the strong and the fair, as well as the weak and withered in the harvest of souls.
The race in Alabama had no stronger men in worth and character than these two educators, and, certainly, none in whom there was posed more confidence as leaders in thought and examples of upstanding thrift and integrity. Mr. Echols had forsaken the teacher's desk for business, but with an ever apparent longing for his first love, while Mr. Roberts fell in the harness and on the pull as his devotion for his work ever indicated it as his big desire.
To know these two men that were similar in character, similar in strength of intellect, similar in undaunting courage and forceful man-

hood is to contemplate the loss heavily and regretfully. There was also in them a similarity of ambition to do race building, without violating manhood principles, an earnest craving to be useful and the embodiment of the fine sympathies which interweave the mesh of kinship in -the souls of all mankind.
They were the type of stalwarts that always stood firmly in the vanguard of race leadership and the types of integrity by which men swore. Having been prominently connected with every movement that concerned the progress of the race for years, these men will be missed in the councils and in the line of leadership duty.
That is the type of men who are contributing steadily to the upbuilding of the race in the South, as well as in other sections of the country. It is fitting that their labors should be appreciated.
Charging the Governor of Georgia with "A Misuse of the Pardon Power," the Atlanta Independent boldly stated the case as follows:

India Thanks The Age For Aid To Country
Editor of The New York Age:
On behalf of Mahatma Gandhi and
the entire Indian population throughout
the world, together with friends
and sympathizers, I beg to offer my
sincere thanks for the work which
you have done through your newspaper
for the great and noble cause
of India and the entire world.
While the New York Times kept on publishing false and biased reports which they received through their correspondents, The New York Age, through its own correspondent, published the truth and nothing but the truth of the happenings in India.
Readers of the Times who formed their opinion from reports published therein are not "thiggers," for they should know that the British objected to the truth coming from India, and to be sure of securing false publications they censored the Indian press and all other news relating to the incident.
When Mr. Webb Miller of the United Press endeavored to dispatch the truth, the British government objected to it and he had to write and send it through the mail. But after this, truth was published, we read that Mr. Miller had left India, whether ordered out by the British or left of his own accord, we are not sure.
Time and over again the New York Times has impressed us through their based correspondents that the princes and the educated class in India were not in sympathy with Mahatma Gandhi and the Nationalist movement. The princes have now left the censored zone, and since they reached France the news has come to us that all the Indian delegates have agreed that they are on their way to England to discuss nothing but dominion statutes and frame such a constitution.
The truth will always come forth at the end and I do not know how the editor and publisher of the Times feel about the moral standing of the correspondents they employ.
A crooked man today in this world does not feel ashamed of himself after he is exposed. He feels that he lives in a world that does not warrant shamefulness. Mahatma Gandhi will rectify this as soon as opportunity affords him.
The Mahatma's first aim is to destroy the power of the sword upon which western civilization is built and replace it with "Truth," and "Love," bringing every man to that equal platform which God intended him when He created him in His Own Image.
India is thinking of the millennium and she cannot work towards that end and succeed as long as she is being ruled by foreigners.
The ruling nations have refused to work towards the end of fulfilling the Will of the Father and they have been preaching Christ to the entire world without any effect for the last two thousand years.
In words to the peoples of the subject colonies and to the entire world they extol Christ, and their lips, overflow with words of praise and hope in Christ. In their action they prove to be the most deadly enemy of the Savior. They are anti-Christ in everything they do, but Christlike in almost everything they say "Actions speak louder than words."
Mahatma Gandhi is going to rid the world of this and bring it to that civilized standard where all men alike will tell the truth and be trusted to love and peace, thereby enjoying in fullness of the time the "Millennium."
I. sincerely pray and hope that through your clean paper you will continue to fight for the right, which is always right, and assist in bringing about the millennium to be received by our own generation.

Editor of The New York Age:
Just a line to express my appreciation of the generous publicity given to my radio talks in The New York Age. I hope that they may at least have some effect that I intended to arouse in the conscience of
Raymond Cooper, brother-in-law) planned the murder of, and印加 Dock Elder and wife, Negroes-motive, robbery-in-oconee County several months ago. They were indicted, convicted, and sentenced to die in the electric chair at Millidgeville tomorrow, and would have been executed as the law 'directed, if not for the interference of the Governor. The action of the Governor in this instance, in our judgement, is a travesty on justice and a serious interference with law enforcement. This was a case of cold blooded murder without a single mitigating circumstance, for the sole motive of robbery.
Governor Hardman may think that he is saving the white youth from disgrace and crime, but he is seriously mistaken; and he is licensing the young white man to believe if he kills a Negro, he may escape adequate punishment. This policy in the end will make criminals of good white boys. If they felt that the killing of a Negro was murder in the same degree as the killing of a white man, and that the law does not tolerate murder from any person or in any degree, there would be less murderers among the white youth of this age.
Editor Benjamin J. Davis of the independent rightly insisted that law enforcement must be color blind or else anarchy will result. Anarchy is already a condition that confronts the South."

In your issue of the present, you comment upon the matter of a certain text book which characterized the race, following emancipation, in a rather uncomplementary light. Over against such characterization I desire to record the words of the late Colonel Walter H. Taylor of Virginia, Adjutant to the staff of the Southern hero, General Robert E. Lee.
It was my good fortune to have been a close and warm friend of Colonel Taylor, as fine a gentleman as ever lived. I have an autographic copy of his book, "General Lee," which he presented to me some years ago. In this book he says of the Negro:
"It should be recorded of the Negroes of the South that during those four years of war and its distressing consequences they were universally loyal, and their conduct in all respects admirable. Let the fact be noted that while the white men went to the front, the women and children were left a home and on plantations, with Negroes, without fear or apprehension; and although of the same racial instinct and passions of the Negro of today, so far as my knowledge and observation enable me to speak, not a single case of assault was ever recorded in the South during that period.
"Here is cause for reflection for the philanthropist: The Negro under a condition of servitude, acknowledging his subordination to his superiors, is well mannered and contains himself within the bounds of perfect and unfaltering respect for the white race, even when no one is near to make him afraid."
A people must be judged by its best representatives. The men of the old South, of the calibre of Colonel Taylor, were unanimous in giving forth the identical testimony as above noted, with respect to the large body of sober and industrious colored people who emerged from the other side of the war between the states

A Travesty on Justice
Editor of The New York Age:
We are in the midst of observing
Armistice Day, recalling recollections of that sad happening, with all its horrors and loss of lives and the destruction of property, which attended that terrible slaughter of thousands of our brave boys who quitted the shores of this country at the clarion call to arms to repulse a foreign foe.
Among the rank and file of the many regiments that crossed the Atlantic in defense of this Republic may be found men who are still fighting the battle of life in the Pullman service as Pullman porters. While they deserve a better fate, and a riker recompense, yet they bow in humble submission to their country's decree, thereby showing a loyalty and patriotism which transcends all other forms of devotion to their native land. It does seem like a travesty on justice when many of our brave warriors returned from the World War and witnessed scenes of barbarity on their race that showed a poor reward for their labor in defending American fortunes from a foreign enemy.
I should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every white man of this Republic who sat silent and allowed those outrages to go unappalled. Did God is neither dear nor alopecy, and out of the dead adores of the skin victims of the blood-thirsty mob will rise a retribution which will be paid by this nation that will probably stagger the world in its severity. The scales of justice will then balance themselves and our soldier boys will come into their own.
MANHATTAN AND BROOKLYN RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES
EMANUEL A. M. E. CH.
The annual reunion and class leaders contest; marking, the fourth anniversary of the entry into the present beautiful edifice, 37 West 119th, street, was begun November 11 and closed November 14.
An appropriate program was rendered on the closing night, E. W. News, master of ceremonies. The senior and junior choirs finished excellent music.
After the vending of the program the audience repaired to the basement which was tastefully decorated where was served a palatable supper, plus punch, cake and ice cream.
Sunday at a high day. Despite the element weather a good congregation was present at the morning service, at which time the Revi D. L. Ruffin Nichols of Charleston, S. C., preached from the text, St. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, whoever believed in Him, should pensh, but have everlasting
Here are a 'few excerpts': "For God so loved the world." This is a plain, straightforward, unequivocal statement. Jesus, Christ, a peculiar character, born in a manger, son of God, unchangable, for with Him there is no variability, neither shadow of turning, for "He is the same, today, yesterday and forevermore, the same God, the same God." He said of himself, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall stand forever." He was a positive teacher. If you rob the human soul of God, you rob it of the greatest thing it can have.
The Christian idea of God is the sweetest concept of the human mind. Nicodemus was ridiculed by some because he went to Jesus by night, but this stands to his everlasting credit, for he went to Jesus. "God so loved the world"—Why are we here?—Because of God's love—how indiscriminate, how personal, how inclusive. Why did He love the world? How did He obey that man? How did He permit His son to lay down His life for me. Life—How we love it, cling to God knows the value of life. The devil叭 one occasion said, that man叭 one occasion said, that life叭 When we reach heaven, then and only then will we realize the value of life and the extent of God's love. When he gave me His son He gave me a portrait of Himself: God loves us and we ought to love Him supposedly, but things as they bear the moral impression of their creator
God's love—its object: that all men might live forever. Belief, faith in God; believe that Jesus is God; believe in Him as your personal Savior. Come unto Him. Provision has been made for all. Room in heaven for all. To all who believe God will grant a personal revelation of Heaven. The sermon was lucid, forceful and convincing. Dr Nichols will deliver his parting message next Sunday at Emmanuel at 11 a.m. at the office officers and members extend heartfelt thanks to all who in any way contributed to the success of the anniversary.
BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH
Despite the inclement weather many were in attendance at the early morning prayer meeting which was led by class leader J Harrison. At the 11 o'clock service those who present were delighted by the beautiful singing of T Pinkney, tenor soloist, who sang "The Prodigal Son." The scripture lesson was read from the 7th chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke. Rev E A. Dale, minister with Sunday day school lesson used for his subject, "The Believing Centurion," a sermon on Faith. At the conclusion of the sermon one person was converted.
Dr. Wm. Lleyd Imes, pastor of St. James Presbyterian Church and his junior choir were guests of the church school at 3:30 p.m. Dr. Imes delivered eloquently the address on "Righteousness on the Church." Calling Ritime, Ruthmeit and Righteousness, he adhired a parallel using facts derived from the knowledge of the fourth dimension. Other participants of the programs were Mrs. Everee Young, alto solost, and a reading by Jones. Miss Perry chairman of the states rally, most most favorite report, South Carolina being the banner state with the largest number present and the largest financial report. Dr. Campbell and Rev. Dudley were present and addressed the Invitedate Christian Endeavor Sarah Dudley were ably opened the topic. How I may spend my Time.

He beautifully portrayed the beauty and obedience of the life of Jesus, and that life is Glow Jesus when every day is a bright but when conditions become disengaging they by the wayside. That God
desires us to be willing to sacrifice when the burden is heavy as we will. The path is smooth. He further said that it is most church is 'successful', but it must hold on when the storms come.

THE REFUGE CHURCH
OF CHRIST
Monday, the missionaries were in charge of the meeting and three souls were added to the church. The pastor, the pastor and church went over to Salem to fill an engagement on their anniversary program. The services were very singular. Bishop Lawson preached from Isaiah 22:11-12. In the church, the priest probed the Bible is being fulfilled and the fast approach of God's Kingdom. The stone which Daniel saw cut out of the mountain without hands is still to suture the image and grind it into a stone. Wednesday, the junior pastor was successful in rendering a mutual program which was inspiring and edifying to the audience. Thursday, the Bible class in psychology was taught in the chapel by the pastor. The lecture was sublime on the "Ser

pent" as is spoken of in Genesis. He proved beyond the shadow of doubt that it was not a real serpent as we see crawling on about us. Friday, the services were good, though not largely attended, due to the inclemency of the weather. In spite of the rainy weather the Saturday night prayer meeting went on; the Sunday morning meeting was held; the Sunday night services were at a high spiritual ebb. The pastor spoke from Matthew 18:28. His message was centered around this thought. We are all debtors to the debt we owe to acknowledge our sinful state and yield our hearts to God." If you want to witness a meeting where the Spirit is felt through songs as are the preaching as are welcome to our doors stand open the whole year round. 52-54-56 West 133rd street.

Prosperity, he said, usually makes us indifferent, self-sufficient and proud. There is a certain humility of spirit we should have for the good of our words concerning brighter times close at hand.

With the advent of a glorious
Sabbath, Rev H. W. Stanley was
greeted by a large number and
sad smiling Seals. He preached a wonderful sermon
from Matthew 14:26, subject,
"Jesus Walking on the Sea."
Among the many interesting
points which he cited in his dis-
course were these words spoken
with such validity that they who
head were speechless. Christ
the sea is an incident that stands alone and the coerced acts of Jesus, as a peculiar manifestation of His character
and dealings.
In general Christ's miracles were founded on the principles of relieving human want and misery, while also displaying Divine power. But here the object was diffeled appear from a careful consideration of the circumstances it had been a day of self-revelation on the part of Jesus. He had also relieved, by a miraculous increase of food, the hunger of five thousand men, thus demonstrating to the people at large that He was at least a messenger of God, and more immediate disciples, however, it was necessary that He should now manifest Himself in a character of more unquestioned greatness. It was important that they should regard Him not merely as one come from God but as one closely connected with the Deity, whose hensible indeed but undeniable. In this character, therefore, he exhibited himself to the disciples.
In conclusion he urged us to intercourse with the Father in Heaven in prayer and fasting, and in doubling this example we may instantly lead public lives innately and usefully Conversing

with men and doing them good mutually sowing and reaping the various comforts and advantages of human society. But since the pleasures of conversation when too freely stated, are intoxicating and tiring, we need to tensions which we thereby meet with are many and great and even when the spirit is willing to resist, yet the flesh is often weak. We ought, therefore, to regulate and restrain ourselves in the indulgence of such enjoyments by giving them to strengthen ourselves, for such public encounters by our religious privacies to retire from the world.

Rev. John J Hickey, pastor of St. Joseph's Church at the lower end of Sixth avenue, preached a most eloquent sermon on the civilizing influence exercised by the church founded by our Savior, Jesus Christ. In glowing language and vivid pictures he brought to the minds of his hearers a clear idea of the degradation into which even the most advanced nations were sunken at the time Christ was born into the world, and then the world was had degradation gradually abashed as the work of the church advanced from one nation to another.
Opposition and persecution even to the death have always attended her path yet inspired by the promise made by her: 'Founder to be always with her up to the end of her life, she has kept at her task for the last 20 years and is today as full of life and vigor and success as ever in her history. Father Hickey emphasized the fact that in sanctifying a nation the church applies her efforts to the individual. And he be so persuaded, to follow the same method, to make use of the same means, namely the seven great sacraments, beginning with baptism.'
For the benefit of the church treasury, which in these hard times have suffered considerably, St Charles opened a fair in the auditorium on Monday November 10 and carry on for two weeks.

circle at Thanksgiving Dinner? Would son or daughter
care to invite a chum whose family are far away? Why not
extend an invitation by telephone—this evening?

and it gets the definite replies that help you quickly make
your plans,” mn .
