The doctors composing the Man:
hattan Medical Society have reject-
‘ed the proposition in most empha-
vic manner, while the members of
the North Harlem Medical Society
hare voted approval.
Representatives of the Rosenwaid
Fund in the persons of Drs. D. L.
Harris and Michael Davis appeared
before the Manhattan Society and
laid the matter before the group.
Di, Jamey L. Wilson, president,
was presiding... The mecting was
held in the Association of Trade
and Cotmmerce, 2370 Seventh avenue.
* Dr. Davis, ‘who is medical direc-
tor of the Fund, explained plans
for a survey of the hospital situa-
tion in Harlem to be made under
auspices of the Hospital Informa-
tion Bureau of this city with the
abject of. providing added bed space
.for patients to be attended by their
mun Negro doctors.
“Proposal Is Rejected
The proposition was discussed by
a number of the physicians, includ-
sg, Drs. Charles °C Middleton,
Ambre del: Maynard, Lsefon
Brown, Farrow Allen. Lowid T.
Wright, and others, attacking the
proposition as a “Jim crow” move-
ment,
Dr. Davis denied that it was the
purpose of the Fund to set up such
an_institution, saying there is no
intention to promote a colored hos-
pital in- New York.
‘Aclong letter from Civil Service
Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Mor-
ton. was read by President Wilson,
in which the proposal was charac.
terized as Ficious in principle”
The letter declared, that “there is
no need in New York for such a
hospital, The’ city makes ample
provision for the hospitalization of
its sick without regard to their race
or color.”
‘A resolution rejecting the pro-
posal was unanimously adopted.
North Harlem Body to Act
Later the executive ‘committee of
the North Harlem Society met anc
voted approval of the plan, caplin
a meeting of the full body be
held ‘Thursday, “December 18, a
2327 Seventh avenue. Dr. Peter M.
Murray is president of this group.
Me. Rosenvrald or bis representa
uves are invited to attend this meet-
ing.
‘The committee declared that the
action of the Manhattan Society did
ot represent the opinion of all the
Negro doctors in Harlem.
Dr. C A. Petioni, one bf the
most active members of the North
Harlem Society, is outspoken in
favor of the project. He said:
«, “No intelligent approach can be
“made to the proper solution of -any
problem “withort first ascertaining
the facts in the situation under con-
sideration: This rule is fundamen:

Doctors and laymen may disagree as to the expediency of such an experiment, but it has been tried and worked successfully among other races in New York and by Negroes in other cities than New York. If such a survey and hospital project promise to contribute any iota toward the wellbelonging of the race and the abatement of the ravages of disease in this city, no political advantage or personal disagreement should be suffered to stand in the way.
POLICE AND THE PUBLIC.
Recent reflections upon the integrity of members of the police force, growing out of the vice situation revealed in the inquiry instigated into the conduct of the magistrates courts of New York City, brought out earnest protest in the shape of a full page advertisement paid for under a resolution of the Patrolman's Benevolent Association. It was addressed to the Good People of the City of New York and told plainly and simply how the criticisms of the police in the public press had prompted the representatives of the sixteen thousand five hundred and ninety-nine patrolmen to protest against the insinuations that tended to undermine public confidence in the force, because of the alleged shortcomings of less than one quarter of one per cent of its number. The problem that confronts the police of New York is peculiar to this city, which is at once the centre of a metropolitan district of double its numbers and the objective of millions seeking work or amusement. It is called a hub of the world, which demands a type of police duty without a parallel. This city has attracted from the four quarters the hold-up man, the burglar, the theft, the confidence man and other violators of the law. The police force constitutes the thin blue line that makes the barrier between the lawabiding citizen and the criminal.

If we remember correctly, there is an old saw or rather sinister significance, to the effect that when doctors disagree the patient is apt to die. The diverse opinions voiced by some Harlem physicians on the proposal for a survey of health conditions in that section to be conducted by the Julius Rosenwald Fund of Chicago, furnishes an example of this kind. The plans for the survey, as set forth by Dr. Davis, medical director of the Rosenwald Fund, provided that it was to be made under the auspices of the Hospital Information Bureau of this city, the object being to provide additional hospital accommodations for Negro doctors to care for their private patients.
At a special meeting of the Manhattan Medical Society, called to consider this proposition, it was unanimously rejected, the chief arguments advanced by its opponents being that the small number of private patients which each doctor had did not warrant such a survey. The idea of such a special survey was also attacked as involving a "Jim Crow" policy looking toward the establishment of a hospital for Negroes only. Dr. Davis denied any intention of this kind and said that the Rosenwald Fund had no idea of promoting any colored hospital in New York City.
How strenuous the efforts to force that barrier was shown by the fact that no less than nineteen members of the police were killed while on duty during the past twelve months. That was almost double the average number for the ten preceding years. Scores of other policemen have been injured in their efforts to enforce the laws and protect the public. The average patrolman is pictured as more than a law-abiding citizen. He is shown as a man of family, living up to his responsibilities, both public and private. He appreciates the obligations of his oath as an officer and strives to fulfill those obligations. He knows that there are a few of his associates who have been unable to resist the temptations encountered. But to condemn the whole force for those violations would be the same as to condemn the church, the state or business for exceptional failures out of thousands of conscious followers. This is the answer of the patrolmen of New York City to the insinuations of wholesale corruption and graft among their ranks.
The resolution adopted by the Manhattan Medical Society in rejecting the survey termed the proposal, "uninvited, uncalled-for and unnecessary." That politics was involved in the matter was indicated by the reading of a letter written by Ferdinand, Q. Morton, Civil Service Commissioner and head of the United Colored Democracy, in which he denounced the proposal as "vicious in principle" and one to be defeated. He declared that there was no need for such a hospital in New York, as the city makes ample provision for the hospitalization of its sick without regard to their race or color, and that colored physicians enjoy equality of opportunity in our hospitals.
That there is another and more favorable view held of the Rosenwald proposal was shown by the action of the executive committee of the North-Harlem Medi-Society, which voted its approval of the survey and any donations that might be tendered toward the support of colored hospitals. The committee decided to invite representatives of the Fund to speak at the next meeting of the society. It was stated on behalf of the committee that the decision of the Manhattan Medical Society does not represent the opinion of all the Negro physicians in Harlem. The invitation to make the survey was extended to many physicians who are members of both societies. Besides this, there is a large number not affiliated with either society, many of whom are said to be in favor of the projected survey.
There has also cropped out a disposition among a certain class of welfare workers to criticise the manner in which the police have handled the distribution of food and clothing among the unemployed of Harlem. It has been suggested that instead of handing out large packages of food, money should be given to the applicants for relief so that they could purchase as need required at local grocers. Allegations were made of discourteous treatment at the hands of those charged with the task of interviewing applicants at the station houses.
On the other hand Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, in a receipt sermon, took occasion to praise the practical Christianity manifested in New York today, through the medium of Mayor Walker's committee and the Police department. Many of the policemen were said to be working day and night, seeking to locate families in distress and trying to give relief where it is, most needed. A prominent school teacher told of the prompt, attention given by the police to a list of needy applicants for aid; with early investigation of each individual case and the issuance of immediate supplies where the circumstances warranted.
The health situation in Harlem is so acute that there is need for all the aid that philanthropy and science can give in ameliorating the suffering of the sick and afflicted and stopping the spread of disease. No human agency working toward these ends should be rejected or rudely rebuffed; from joining in such a humanitarian movement. That the head of a segregated political organization like the United Colored Democracy, should denounce such an offer, because it involves separate accommodations for those suffering from disease, while he upholds a separate organization in politics, appears to be a trifle inconsistent. But then consistency ceases to be a virtue when it runs counted to politics. In a city like New York, with all its cosmopolitan population and its public institutions open to all races, we still find special institutions devoted to the special needs of different races. The Jews, the Italians, the Germans, the Swedes maintain their separate hospitals, raise money to support them and appeal for aid to the general public. If Negro physicians and their patients decide that a hospital specially dedicated to the service of the race is necessary and expedient, they have a perfect right to establish and maintain an institution of that special nature and to
The police should be given credit for handling a hard problem with exceptional speed and alacrity. There may not be that degree of suavity and blandness that some captious individuals demand, as police methods savor more of directness and getting at the facts of the case. But the figures show that in one week over twenty thousand bags of food were distributed to needy families. The police should be commended for the general results achieved through their concerted efforts of relief, rather than criticised for unintentional grievance or the failure to do things in some other way than that adopted.
MISUSE OF MERIT SYSTEM.
In a recent issue of the New York Times, Dr. Kelly Miller of Howard Lm-
versity took issue with an editorial published in a previous issue on the merit system, in which the gratifying extension of that system to Federal employees during the past fifty years was pointed out. Dr. Miller admitted that under the Presidency of Grover Cleveland and the commissionership of Theodore Roosevelt, absolute fairness was guaranteed to every applicant without regard to religion, race or color. But in later years, he insisted, a radical change has been made in the civil service machinery. He added:
While the letter of the law may be technically kept, the spirit is ruthlessly violated, so far as the colored applicant is concerned. He may index, take the civil service examination and pass with the highest average, be appointed to a position when it comes to appointment. Applicants are identified by photographs. The slightest show of pigment would defeat an Einstein should he report for assignment. Under the regulations, three names must be certified to the appointing officer. If one applicant is found to have a device would be found to frustrate their hopes. Instances are on record where the photograph has failed to reveal racial identity, but as soon as this was discovered the applicant was openly or artfully refused appointment. Government invites all citizens to open competition for civil service positions, but cheats the colored applicant, out of the fruits of competitive success.
The Times appended an editorial note Dr. Miller's letter in which it said that according to a report issued by the Department of Labor, 51,882 Negroes were in the Federal payroll on June 30, 1928, with salaries aggregating $64,483,133; the corresponding figures for 1910, according to the Times, were $12,456,760. While these figures show a decided increase in the number of colored government employees, they do not constitute an effective contradiction of Dr. Miller's barges, which apply especially to the higher grades of service and to administrative and technical positions.

MOTON COMMITTEE REPORT
The outcome of the special commission led by Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee institute, which was sent to Haiti to conduct an educational survey of the needs that Island was contained in the report
The outcome of the special commission headed by Dr. R. R. Moton of Tukeagee Institute, which was sent to Haiti to conduct an educational survey of the needs of that Island, was contained in the report made public last week by Secretary Stimson. The outstanding recommendation of the report was that the service technique, which has been the cause of much dissatisfaction because of the highhanded policy of the Americans in charge, be combined with the national school system of Haiti. That financial aid administrative aid be given in developing an adequate system of public education.
It was also urged that a permanent joint commission be established, composed of Negro Americans and Haitians, to formulate plans for the combination of the two educational systems and to advise how the two governments may cooperate in carrying out other recommendations of the commission. It was recommended that a grant be made from the United States Treasury to aid Haiti in the development of an adequate educational system, or the arranging of a loan at low interest from private sources in this country for that purpose. It also suggested that President Hoover use his good offices to encourage private philanthropy to aid education in Haiti.
It was declared that from a financial point of view education in Haiti had been worse off under the American occupation than under exclusive Haitian control, the portion of annual appropriations for the national school system declining progressively. The setting up of a separate system of primary schools was declared a mistake and the fears of the Haitians that the service technique intended to supplant the national school system appeared to be justified. This latter service was, judged by Haitian standards, extravagant and beyond the capacity of the national treasury to support. It was planned on too elaborate a scale, with too many Americans at high salaries. It also failed to cooperate with or acknowledge the authority of the Haitian government.
The commission found, however, that there was a pressing need for the type of service inaugurated under the service technique, and that real progress had been made in laying the foundation for agricultural and industrial development. The motives of the leaders of this work were considered beyond question, although it had been difficult for them to obtain the cooperation of the Haitian people because of the evil effect of the occupation. The Haitian leaders were declared open to criticism because of their neglect in affording educational opportunities to the rural population and for over emphasis on the cultural branches of education and apparent lack of concern for the welfare of the masses.
A change of attitude was called for on the part of officials of the 'American occupation, especially those representing the service technique, from one of independent self-sufficiency to one of interested and sympathetic cooperation. Such an attitude, it was felt, would meet with such a response from the Haitian leaders

The fact that Norfolk citizens contributed several thousand dollars more than the minimum set for the Community Chest Fund, moved the Norfolk Journal and Guide to conclude that the community was "Better Off Than We Supposed." It added:
A part of this organization was the Colored Division, under Dr. S. Francis Coppage, chairman. This, or more intimately speaking, our group deserves not only the praise but the gratitude of the whole community, $4,500, which must be considered, in a strict sense, the cleanings, since colored men and women working in the industries—and these constitute a majority of those of us who are gainfully, employed—contributed through other channels under the campaign set-up, for convenience and facility in putting over the equipment in operating with the six colored agencies in the Community Fund approximates $11,000 however, the money paid by the workers of our group in the industries, and much more under the plan, finally back to meet our group needs. The Colored Division exceeded its 1990 goal of $500. This in itself is an achievement worthy of comment in a year such we have been passing through. It demonstrates that our group, as distinguished from the whole, has also been motivated by the quickened conscience in the present emergency, and like the whole has responded to the whole. Our co-workers of assistants and co-workers have done a solident job and deserve the hearty commendations of the community.
Norfolk is apparently one of the increasing number of cities, where the Community Cheat plan works smoothly and efficiently.
And now the editor of the Pittsburgh Cowherd proposes to eliminate Christmas cards from the scheme of holiday rejoicing, but with this plausible argument, as follows:
Truly this period of unemployment has its virtues. From the lips of a solicitor who came in to see us the other day fell these words: "Why don't you eliminate your costly Christmas cards this year and send them to employment?" Needless to say, we agree that precious Christmas cards this year are entirely out of place. We decided to forego the luxury and the expense and donate the cost to the cause of unemployment. Not a bad idea, we thought and we still that we only not a bad idea of we think it as an excellent idea that we pass it on here to our readers.
It is easy to conclude that among our own personal acquaintances we know of thousands of 'dollars' spent every Christmas for costly Christmas cards to be sent to our loved ones and our friends included in our circle of selfishness. In fact, we can remember from our last Christmas editions a high price for a high stationery and engraving, but downright extravagance. We, ourselves, have been guilty of this very extravagance.
But this is a different season. This is an unusual year and the approach of Christmas suggests unpredictable changes in the amount of dollars may be properly and wisely diverted from costly Christmas cards into a worthy charity fund which will help to some extent to relieve the unusual condition of pennies and bills that are prevalent in our land. We are going to longboard Christmas cards this year. We are not asking anybody else to do so, but we justify our own course by saving to our many readers that the commendable and the satisfaction of our friends gone an unnecessary luxury for the benefit of someone who may be heeded thereby more than repays us for saying to our friends this year "Merry Christmas" and sending that message a card not so costly as herefore.
How about the number of people who make a few dollars at this season by designing or vending these greeting cards? Must they join the ranks of the unemployed?
Under the heading of "The Political - Football," the Philadelphia Triumph, indulged in the following simulations as to what this Congress will do about reappointment.
Reappointment of House representation will in all probability give the lame ducks in the present Congress their last opportunity to play representative aliens and Negroes. Representative aliens and Negroes, which will lose Representatives under the new census figures, will attempt to exclude aliens from the reappointment count to prevent gains in certain industrial States. Representatives met on the same Representatives in industrial States to reduce representation in Southern States in proportion to the disfranchisement of Negroes in this States. It is to be observed that the Southern Representatives are nine to take the offensive to exclude the aliens.
Representative Tinkham, Massachusetts Republican, says: "If an attentive is made to exclude it from the forcement of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and will propose reduction in representation in proportion to the disfranchisement of the Fourteenth Amendment, the fight for the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment is, therefore, dependent upon how well the South succeeds in curtailing Eastern influence from the reappointment count. In
The members of the Moton Commission appear to have done some close observation and clear thinking in their survey of the educational needs of Haiti.
other words it is to be used as a threat, a thing to trade with. If you do not interfere with our aliens we will let you do as you dawn please with the Negro and the Constitution.
The Philadelphia editor does not take much stock in this Republican threat to reduce Southern representation, as it is merely used as a football of politics.
That all was not harmony in the United Brothers of Friendship and Sitters of the Mysterious, Ten, a fraternal order flourishing in Texas, was shown by a news article in the Houston Freeman, which said:
W. F. Bledsoe, it appears nowadays, is floored, or knocked out every time he goes to bat, and that certainly looks funny when it is known that for 38 years and more on a dead dominated and bored the U. B. F. Grand Lodge and S. M. T. Grand Temple of Texas.
The trouble that started on Wednesday, July 23, 1929, at Beaumont, Texas, and that was partially completed in New Hope Baptist Church, Waco, Texas, on Saturday, May 1, when he was denied a grand master's degree again on the 4th of this month when he went into the district court of Harrison County at Marshall, alleging that W. L. Davis, his successor in office, and C. H. McGruder, grand secretary were serving as such contrary to the instructions of Texas H. he proceeded in junction and asked Judge Reuben A. Hall, presiding judge, to restrain W. L. Davis, grand master, and C. H. McGruder, grand secretary, from using the money $36,000—hostial funds that had been collected at Marshall and from exercising and performing the duties of grand master and grand secretary.
The law firm, Johnson and Peden of Houston, assisted by State Senator Thomas B., Love of Dallas, presented Davis and McGruder, Johnson and Peden developed the case, but, in order to protect the attorneys immediately they chose Attorney Love, who lived closer to Marshall, to handle the case in the district court of Harrison County. Bledsoe was demurred out of court and Peden developed a case, which led to the revived civil statutes of Texas, 1925, which reads: "No application for injunction against, or proceedings for the dissolution of, or the appointment of a receiver for any domestic society (that is, fraternity) shall be entertained by court in the state unless the same is brought by the attorney general."
Bledsoe gave notice of appeal, but his opponents called it merely four-fluushing. As he put up a bond for one thousand dollars to begin the action, the grand lodge may have recourse for damages.
Reviewing the various remedies proposed to relieve business depression, especially the advice to "Buy Now" to speed up production, the Winston-Salem Post, added the following suggestion.
Why is it that some of our cure-all doctors do not prescribe some tonic for our employers. We are able to day workeres and buy Buy Now." It would like to remain at home instead of going elsewhere to seek means of earning daily bread for themselves and their loved ones. A drowning man would like to be able to it be correspondent for some our large corporations reduce their rates of earnings to their dividend payment reserves and their various and Sunday other reserves temporarily, so that they might and the little fellows help in the return of prosperity.
It may be good economics to check production a little, so that our interproduction, situation might be consumed. In the opinion of the writer this is a time to make permanent improvements to properties of all kinds.
Spending all that one earns, lower wages, longer hours and the like will increase his income facing us today, but consideration on the part of both the employer and employee will go a long way.
And the North Carolina 'editor made his suggestion more emphatic by heading his article "Employ Now!" In extending congratulations to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company on its thirty-second anniversary, the Washington World said.
Aside from the fact that this company has faithfully fulfilled its obligations to its policyholders, providing thousands of estates to those who would have money in a time of need, the National Benefit "Life Insurance company has done two things to the race. First, they have enriched thousands of our people in various parts of the country. Secondly, they have assisted in the financing of Negro business projects, which in turn provide employment for other thousands of the race. Just how important it is to have a financial institution for employment and assist Negro race people realize. Any insurance company will pay a claim, but how many will hire your son and daughter, save your bank, finance your lodge hall, or guide your business through financial situations? That kind of work that the National Benefit Company does. We mention it here so that our people can realize what a service this company is performing. We

In order to relieve the unemployment situation the public believed through the voices of businessmen and politicians that if they buy more liberally it would increase the business of the nation thereby restoring the nation thereby resisting the public being anxious to assist, has responded very generously to these voices but are sadly disjointed by the action of these businessmen who are working against the cause.
Business has increased a great deal the past couple of months and instead of employing additional help employees have compelled their employees to work a considerable number of hours overtime.
If they do then in most cases they are sure of losing their jobs and join the other millions, in walking the streets while employers employ other workers in salary for the same long working hours.
In my opinion and for the good of the American nation and an example to the entire world the government should intervene.
Let us hope these business men will hink" a little more and not more than eight hours, and employees more than eight hours, and they would employ new help for the extra hours needed for the completion of the day's task.

THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 20 Astrologically Considered
dangerous. Accidents through travel and machinery should be avoided. Patience and careful judgment will do wonders. You should be biyearthy on December 24 will find the year noted for the vocational changes that will not be altogether undesirable to those who can use clear judgment, and will not mistake the false for the true. In dealing with the opposite sex in the family and social circles, Money should not be loaned or borrowed, and time payments will not prove satisfactory in the end. Those who pay as they are fare worthwhile things, will get them.
December 25 begins a birthday that will be worthwhile in many ways, and those who can think and plan carefully will come out well ahead. Careful mental judgment will be worthwhile, and you choose the wrong thing or believe the wrong things. Those of today will do best, by letting work out things and not by writing or talking to others about personal matters. Care in the diet will be worth while. Financial matters are favorable. The year is very good. Those who begin another birthday on December 26 will find the year ahead exceptionally good if they can avoid deception to anom from others. Doubful acquaintances and strangers are very likely to cause trouble if they are given opportunity. Real estate matters be worth while if properly handled.
The readers who would like to know how to get aide and to understand the planetary influences that are now affecting them, should send the full, name, the birthday, month, year, hour and place with a stamped and self addressed envelope and ten cents in stamped Themed Paper and ten cents in St. New York Age, 250 West 135th Street, New York City.

The Labor Situation
Editor of The New York Age;
In order to relieve the unemployment situation the public believed through the voices of businessmen and politicians that if they buy more liberally it would increase the business of the nation thereby relieving unemployment.
The public being anxious to assist, has responded very generously to these voices but are sadly disappointed by the action of these businessmen who are working against the business. Business has increased a great deal for the past couple of months and instead of employing additional help employers to work a considerable number of hours overtime, to the business of business men or employers will not help the purchasing power, and if allowed to go too far will certainly wreck the country.
The post office is rushed now with one man to weigh parcels and packages. Though early, a woman may be forced to run a few minutes before her turn comes along to be waited on.
Several of these women have concluded that if they had waited until Christmas week to do their mailing they would have received much better services, for whereas there would be several men to handle the crowd then, now there is only one man to handle the same, working their men until eight or nine o'clock at night delivering parcels and packages. The American public is intelligent, and the people certainly do not need Lincoln to return to life again, to remind them that while they might be able to fool all of the people part of the time and some of the people part of the time, they can't fool all of the people all of the time. Employees can't very well complain when having to work twelve to sixteen hours per day at times.
Those who begin another birthyear on December 21 will hear some news or a woman that will bring unhappiness, but only if those of today have done or said something or did. The speech and writings are sensitive points for disaster to those who do not think before speaking or writing. Many worth while opportunities will come.
Mental occupations and professions are favored for those who begin another birthyear on December 23. Worthwhile changes in the employment of others should be carefully considered, and the tendency to spend more than is earned will only bring worry and trouble. The year is really worth while to those who plan carefully in financial matters.
December 23 begins another good birthyear for those who can think and plan carefully and avoid change or removals, or enterprises so well favored, and those who are already in business should be careful to avoid loss through fire or other causes. Quarrels will be

If religion is not necessary let the world show a better life than a Christian life. Let them show a way of comforting face and the dying in the hospital, let them go to the graveyard and in a better way comfort those who mourn; let the world find a better way than Christians, then reason won't be necessary.

citizen, no one knows how Paul became a Roman citizen, he being a Jew. Some say his father received a gift from the king because of valiant services during conflict but when Paul was asked to marry him, he was, I was freeborn so his father, too, must have been a citizen. Another reason for the great conversion was. Paul was a great sorcerer, he persecuted the Church, but confessed, was guilty of the death of Stephen and confessed. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shuu be saved! Let Mr. Darrow argue, and the magazine write what they want to, but there is no other way, Trust and obey!

PARADISE BAP. CHURCH
A wonderful crowd greeted our pastor Rev. H, W. Stanley, who has been absent for the past two weeks. He chose for his subject: "The Accursed, Fig Tree," Matthew 21:19. He illustrated this beautiful parable in the form of a miracle, showing how Jesus, upon returning from Bethany to Jerusalem, food. Seeing a fig tree in its most beautiful bloom, He went to it and found only leaves. It was too early to expect fruit yet Jesus, according to Matthew and Mark, was angry at the poor tree and cursed it with fire. He went to the fence and forevermore. Presently the fig tree withered away. Then the beautifully compared the parable of the fig tree with the human race, telling of our deception to ourselves and others by posing as real children, bearing no good names, which are love, Faith, Hope and Charity.
As Rev. Staples concluded this wonderful discourse every heart burned for he was so sincere in his most successful effort to bring the Word to his people. Rev. H. W. Staples reappeared on the scene with a subject of great interest and spirit, "The Silent Betrayer."

EMANUEL A. M. E. CH.
Old Sol. hid himself all day and the day throughout was cold, threatening and dreary, yet at 11 a.m. a full church and eager throng were present to hear the pastor, Rev. D. W. Warn Nichols, reach from the church at 11:20 P.M. with he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured at seeing him who is invisible." Subject, "Leadership."
The speaker laid for his foundation the necessity of leadership, stating that in all ages men have looked up to and followed leaders whether in peace or war. Said he. Such an element being so important with responsibility to noble deeds and aspirations, a leader must possess certain qualities without which inevitable failure will be the result. I wish to bring to your notice not a Napoleon, no a Caesar, but a Moses who possesses to an eminent degree the characteristics of a leader. "Said he," a leader should possess to an outstanding degree the following qualities, to wit:
Courage. He pictured Moses as being a member of the household of one of the greatest dynasties of earth—rich and powerful on the land. On every hand Moses was surrounded with luxury and comfort. But he chose to suffer with his people. He preferred to be a man rather than to be a monkey. His life reminds me of Jane Adams of Chicago, another long-lost monkey. We knew the life. The best way to be of service to people is to get down on a level with them. That is why so many social workers are failures. They failed to do that and when they do help, think they are bestowing love and courage we would never have heard of him.
"I tell you it takes a man of courage to stand up against public sentiment, against the howling mob Lincoln once saw a little Negro girl on an auction block. He then made a resolve, and when the opportunity presented itself, had the courage to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. If you know that you are right why go ahead. "For" he ary array of courage. "For" Church of God. Be courageous. "Thy saints in all this glorious war shall conquer though the yde."
A leader should have vision. Hear the text: "He endured, seeing him who is invisible." Moses saw the burning bush. He saw the exiciencies of life every true born child of God must have a vision, must fee the power of God burning in his soul. Have the vision They see the trumpet from afar, leader should have vision. Although you yet he was not wholly disappointed for God permitted him to view the promised land from Nebo's summit and angels buried him there. The sermon was listened to with rapt attention. It was a spiritual attentive treat. The Sunday school was well attended at 3 p. m. At 4 p. m. Mr. Ryley, dramatic singer, was present and was received with a welcome. At 6 p. m. Charles E. Toney, judge, identified an address, replete with wholesome instructions.
At the evening service the pastor discussed the subject, "Faith". Dinners are still being served from the church from 3 to 7 p.m. On last Friday a bountiful meal was served to 107 persons. Besides, groceries and wearing apparel were sent out to a number of persons. Emanuel is endearing to do her bit in this time of stress and strain. We will tell you more about the Macedonian cry to the healthy in pocket and healthy in purse

Luke 22:11, featuring our most Holy Redeemer being betrayed by one of His disciples, Judas. He demonstrated the calmness and meekness with which He endured His agony. The silent betrayer, disclosed inadvertently upon his behalf, cried the betrayal by silence. We are tempted to betray our Lord by silence amongst His people and in the world where His people are not known.
In conclusion he urged us all to be strong in our profession that we can tell the world that we are Christians and real Christians.

ST. MARTIN'S CHAPEL
" Enter yo in at the straight gate " was the sermon subject of Rev. J. H. Johnson's discourse. His theme was taken from the 13th and 14th verses of the 7th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel. " Wide is the gate that leaps to destruction " Rev. Johnson said. The gate is a man's choice in the world. The choice is either take up the Cross, your duty, things that require self-control, or follow " multitude of people to destruction. " To his appreciative audience his advice is " Don't follow others, make your own way. Young people are shared with a series of open doors in life. Later in life become limited. Therefore make the right choice early, the way of self-denial, the hard way, the difficult way, the way of Jesus Christ. " Rev. Johnson closed with two beautiful and meaningful quotations. " Life is a wrestle with the devil and only the frivolous seek to escape. " A man's heart deviets his works but the Lord directeth his steps. "

This was the third annual service of this kind held in St. James and, as usual, brought out a large and appreciative audience. The addresses were written in a formal and dignified manner.

White Artists Sing At The Wilson Lamb Studio
White Artists Sing At The Wilson Lamb Studio
A goodly audience gathered at the Wilson Lamb, Studio on Sunday afternoon, December 14, for the weekly assembling of the Musical Arts Forum. An interesting program, presenting three of Mr. Lamb's Nordic puffs, had been arranged with Mrs. Alice Russell Micheaux as mistress of ceremonies, and Mrs. Cora Wymm Alexander at the piano.
The artists presented were John Hessen, tenor; Harry Hagar, baritone, and the Rev. David J. Lewis, reader, who reads several original poems.
Introduced by Mrs. Micheaux, Mr. Lewis, read first "My Den of Dreams, followed by my den of Bonds by Blood." His offering, in a clever sketch, ended Reviews, in which the member of the Forum and pupils in the radio, were fittingly mentioned.
Mr. Hensen sang two groups, disheveled a tenor voice of appealing quality. The "Bercorese" from Godards "Jocelyn" was his first number, and this was coupled with a Dutch man, "De Vogelar" ("The Bird Man") by Renesen. For his second group, he offered Scaffold times in his "Little Star" and "Ponce Heard for the first time." Mr. Henser pleased with his artistic interventions.
Mr. Hagar, who has been heard before, sang the Gordani air, "Caro man ben," and "Widmung" by Franz, on his appearance, and "Captain Mac" by Sanderson and "The Trumpeter" by Dix later. The latter is a stirring song, and he sang it with evasive fervor.
following the program, the ladies of the band served the guests with a delicious luncheon, including potato salad, sload, ham rolls, olives, cream, made cake, tello, ice cream, and coffee.
Alice Russell, Soprano,
Sings In Orange Studio
Alice B. Russell, dramatic sonata one of the leading singers in Wilson Lamb Negro Choir of Orange, N. L. has resumed concert work making an appearance in the Lamb Studio at 310 Main street, Orange, on Wednesday evening, December 10.
Miss Russell (who in private life is Mrs Oscar Micheaux, wife of the moving picture promoter) (had been a teacher at Wilson Lamb and is one of the most valuable of that teacher's supporters. For this concert she presented a varied program. "Invocation to the Sun God," by Treyron was her first offering. "followed by the Brahms "Sapphire Ode" and Oley Speaks "Morning."
Then followed a mixed group—"guff wie die nacht" by Bohm, "Chant Hindon" by Bemberg, and "un bel divedremo" from Puccini "Mime Butterfly." Four奏 Strukturli "Dance" by Burchfield "Hard Trials." "Don't we wreen when I'm gone." "I stood on e Ribber of Jordan" and "O rocks, don't fall on me."
Another Burleigh song, "In, the
Wood of Finvara," and "Comma
Home" by Willeby were her final
songs.
Mrs. Cora Wynn Alexander was at
the piano
Charlotte Murray Sings At Bennett College
Greensboro, N. C.—Appearing at Bennett College for Women Friday night, December 12 before a large audience of music lovers, Mrs. Charlotte Wallace Murray, mezzo-soprano, accompanied by Miss Olive Jeter, both of New York City, ably captivated the listeners with her beautiful style of bel canto singing. The artist exhibited excellent control and unusual range.
Opening with il mio bel toco by Marcelo, the artist rendered an exquisite classic group, ending with "Mon coeur s'ouvre a la voix," by Saint Saens. The artists were very liberal in responding to the drastic demands of the audience in rendering encores, all of which were highly enjoyed by the music lover as was demonstrated by the music applause "Hahanaera" from the music group Camen" by Bizet, was rendered twice by the artist. This was done in response to the request of the music lovers
Miss Jeter, the pianist and accompanist, showed great skill in rendering the Chopin numbers. She demonstrated equally as much exertion in the "Adagio" from Sinatra in D, Minor, Beethoven; and "Etude de Concert," Stemberg.
A group of Spirituals ended the program. Most of those work arrangements by the noted composer Harvey T. Burleigh

School Gives Concert To Raise Fund For Milk
School Gives Concert To Raise Fund For Milk
The Parents and Neighborhood Association of P. S 137, Manhattan, gave a concert and bridge party Wednesday evening. December 10, to raise money for food, especially milk, for undernourished children, most of whom are underweight. One indication of need is the fact that in previous years more than 800 bottles of milk were bought daily by children, whereas now the school is averaging less than 200 bottles of milk per day. The parents and the school staff are planning to use a large part of the proceeds, which will be approximated by a grant, in future school houses then they will know the children actually have what they desire them to have.
The concert included some of the best musical talent in Harlem. There are piano solos by Helen Jones and Eric Brown, violin solos by Solomon Meele, Eric Layne, Lawrence Bourne, Remainne Brown, tenor solos by John Eckles, John Perry, James Earle, soprano solos by Lilian Gauntlet, Swibl Hunt and Dennis Trottman Earle a dramatic reading by Mayme Riley, a saxophone duet by the Talance brothers, and dances by groups from Ann Dancing Studio. The violinists and Eric Brown, pianists were presented by courtesy of the Martin-Smith Music School.

The bridge spans a river, with a crowd gathered on both sides. The bridge is made of stone and has a curved design. The river is wide and appears to be flowing steadily. The crowd is densely packed, with many people standing on the bridge and others walking along the riverbank. The scene is bustling with activity, and the crowd appears to be enjoying the view.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS
By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
On Thursday, December 18 the election of members of the Governing Board and the Trial Board, delegates to the annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians and Central Trades and Labor Council of Greater New York and veto will take place at local headquarters 110 East 50th street. The poll will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
"CAUTION" When voting, members must vote for the full number in each column, otherwise the column is void.
Therefore you must be careful in marking your ballot, carefully checking it before you deposit it in the ballot box, and thus avoid your time and effort to vote being wasted.
To be specific, mark your ballot for your persons for the Governing Board, nine for the Trial Board two for delegates to the A. F. of M. and one for the Central Trades and Labor Council!
This election is somewhat history making, as it is the first time in the records of Local 602 or in that of its predecessor, Local 510 now denotes that colored poll clerks have been used.
Yes, Arnold Bolden and R P Outram will function with many others, white, poll clerks at the election.
Of course you know that Bert Hall of the progressive Rhythm Club is again running for office on the Trial Board.
Last year Bert polled a promising vote and this year all of his friends predict he will hit the bull's eye.
Don't fail to go and vote.
Here is another Local 602 item.
Bert Hall and Pere Ostram have been appointed the local to an on-site Board of the Relief Committee now rendering financial assistance to unemployed workers $10,000 has been set aside for the relief fund and is being distributed.
in conjunction with the $10,000
the "Concerning Board has granted
permission for concerns, dances and
midnight performances to be given
the proceeds of which are to be dis-
tributed to the unemployed. These
benefit performances are to be stoo-
pended by prominent and influential
partners.

ture and I knew not nor had an
impression of the age. For phone

THE NEW YORK AGE
Gabriel's Funeral
was called and told of my appointment.
So far this Sunday night, I have not even had the opportunity to thank Mr. Canavan or the Wolverine Board for the confidence, expressed by the appointment, in my capacity to render service.
The Relief Committee has had several sessions.
Not having sat in any of these meetings, I now feel free to comment on the attitude of some musicians who previously have had and worked. But there ended their interest in Local 802 Electron followed election, meeting after meeting and very few of these musicians took the trouble to vote or attend the meetings.
Yet when the Relief Committee started to distribute the $10,000 some of these birds were right there in hand. And not one of them was turned away empty handed. I understand.
It's no disgrace to be in hard look and appealing for aid in an honorable way. Better, that than a hold up. But one should feel self-conscious at visiting a friend only in time of need.
Names of persons who have appealed for aid, or those hereafter who might amply, will be a sealed book in every way as far as the writer is concerned.
Money has been set aside and is being distributed to unemployed musicians regardless of race or creed. If you need help, go down to Local 502 and get it.
John H. Lone, violinist, conductor of the Coleridge-Taylor Ensemble, has impressed gratitude for remarks made in this column concerning the concert in them Grace Church en December 7. He writes:
"Since I read your article concerning our concert Sunday, I have been trying to find words of thanks to send to you, but have been unsuccessful in finding the words desired. So I will just say thanks a lot for it. But those aren't enough to explain to you all my feelings I have about the future, we cannot foretell, but our object is a permanent concert orchestra. Our hope is that some one with money will take interest in us and endow the organization so that its members may devote their entire time to an attempt toward perfection. As you know, real musicians cannot give good account of themselves on their instruments when they must do a point of wear. The next month's rent is the next month's rent is coming. I could go on indelinitely telling you these drawbacks, but I think you know most of them.
"So it is our desire to have men like you, and your paper, to go forward in a determined drive to help us gain our purpose."
Thanks, Mr. Conductor; for your kind letter. This column and The Age have always and will always give assistance in any possible manner. Call on if you think we can help.
May success attend your endeavors. Let consistent persistence be your motto.

Black and Blue Spots
Occasionally, now and again, a young miss or a gentleman shows up in the drug store with a conspicuous black or blue spot just under the eye. The customer usually states that it was caused by walking up into a door, or that they fell down, or rather any excuse except that of being hit into the eye during a spat. However, they seem usually to be a little embarrassed, and their greatest desire is "that the druggist shall-assist them in having the spot removed. Black and blue spots which are often a purplish color too, are often a bump or bruise with makes the skin where force has met that place of contact. Nature will take care of them, but they can be rather embarrassing, and as a matter of fact, too embarrassing for the average person to wait.
If the bruise is very severe, the best thing to do is to consult a medical doctor, not a druggist. For I have known a case where the loss of an eye has resulted from this type of neglect. But if it is a very mild case one or two hints at the right time will help. a great deal To prevent a black and blue spot, use cold water as soon as possible after the injury. Lay a cloth saturated with cold water on the bruise and renew it as it dries or gets warm. This will check the discoloration. A bruise caused by a fall (on knee, elbow, etc) may be sore as well but an blue In this case hot water will blow out a piece of flannel in water as you can bear and hold it over the bruise "Repeat as it cools. This will ease the soreness and it is preferable to liniment if the discoloration has already begun. Lastly a little witch hazel with arnica is also very effective This should be applied over the bruised parts with a little cotton.
Christmas Candies
Christmas would not be Christmas without home made candies, and yet a box is always an inexpensive and yet welcome gift. Christmas is only a short distance away, so let us get our candy made out of the way. Any of the following are easy to make and delicious.
COCOANUT BARS
Pare two fresh fcooanuts and create or cut in small pieces with a sharp knife. Put two cupfuls of Nestlé oatmeal and two ounces of butter in a bowl and as soon as it reaches boiling point stir in the cocoanut. Sur until it reaches soft crack stage, pour in buttered pans and spread thin with a buttered knife. As it cools cut into bars
Beil together two small cupfuls powdered sugar, one cupful maple syrup, one-half cupful thick cream, when a few drops in cold water form a soft ball, remove from fire and beat until creamy. Beat in two cupfuls hickory, walnut or butternut meats, and pour in buttered pans or moulds to cool. If in par, cut in squares when almost hard. CHOCOLATE SAUSAGE
TO ONE-FOURTH Pound grated sweet chocolate, add one-fourth pound of broken nut meats, the beaten white of half an egg and confectioners' sugar to make firm dough. Roll out in sausage shape, dust with grated chocolate and spread on oiled paper to harden.

Confession
By Gertrude J. Buckman
If hunger had not been so fierce in me,
And if my arms had ached a trifle less,
If I had known that you were mine to take.
And waited for my sign in eagerness,
I'd not be looking wastful now.
Agog to catch your merest casual glance.
And calling it to tremble from sweet ache
And cherish in my heart, what any chance
Acquaintance might be showered with
I'd not be seeing in this book
Your face, aloot, upon the printed words,
Homely Philosophy

Loneliness
Being lonely is like death. It is a premature walling in—a cold isolation. The remedy is to make friends. Friends warm the atmosphere, make the heart beat quicker, give wider horizons. That, thoughtfulness of others, and a stifling of selfish thoughts and act help death. Condone yourself with choice friends, choice books, choice thoughts.
In spite of the seeming blindness of youth there seems to be a gradual awakening as to its real business of life on the part of the more serious minded. This is being evinced from time to time by different efforts made to solve our present remedial theories on vital questions concerning the welfare of the race.
Another attempt will be made shortly to call together men and women, students of different colleges, teachers and other leaders into a public forum. This forum will discuss and become conversant with the pertinent race, questions of the day.
Miss Ruth Ford, that very well qualified and ambitious 'Hunter senior, will have charge of this getting together and elsewhere in this section is an announcement of the class. I was given to understand that the forum is to consist of representatives from all groups and classes so if you are interested, no matter what your occupation or education just get in touch with Miss Ford or fellow The Age every week and keep informed of our movements.
In this day of vacuum cleaners, the old broom still holds her own and the following are some directions which will assist in making her work more effective:
I: brooms are dipped into boiling suds once a week they will become very tough and will last much longer, and sweep as well as a new broom after each dipping.
A handful or two of salt sprinkled upon a carpet will carry the dust along with it, and make the carpet look bright and clean.
A very dusty carpet can be cleaned by setting a pair of cold water by the door and dipping the broom lightly into it, shaking off all the drops, and then sweeping a few wards with it. Repeat the process until the carpet is all swept and you will be surprised to note how soiled the water becomes.
Snow sprinkled on a carpet crug and sweep off before it has time to melt it is also an excellent way to clean it. Indian meal slightly dampened, can also be used with satisfactory results.

Whether Nationalism or Assimilation will solve the Negro problem was the question raised at the meeting of the International Student Association Friday, December 12.
Those advocating Nationalism cited instances where the Negro had through segregating himself, earned rights that he would not have earned otherwise. The Nationalistic movement was represented as making the Negro definetly race conscious through organizations run entirely by Negroes.
Those, however, who advocated Assimilation tell that the Negro should not be imposed as a separate race, but as a part of the one human race.

THINGS SEEN, HEARD AND DONE AMONG PULLMAN EMPLOYEES
Yuletide Travel Expected to Ease Situation
Pullman business is expected to awaken this week from the lethargy into which it has fallen for the past two months. That is the hope, at least, of Pullman officials and office clerks who have charge of supplying porters with work.
The city welfare worker may have his heartaches in dealing with the unemployed, may have his ears dinned from morning to night with their cries of woe, but for all that he has little just now these Pullman men who are in charge of such terming points as Mott Harbor and the Grand Central District and Sunnyside Yards of the Pennsylvania Terminal District.
For the next three weeks, however, business is expected to be of such volume that the situation will be considerably improved. With the holiday traveling which will be done by students of the large colleges and schools, and Yuletide travel that will naturally develop, despite the hard times, these officials and clerks should be able to enjoy a respite from
In spite of the fact that more than fifty per cent of the porters employed in the Mott Haven District in summer have been forloughed in by the number of idle porters to be seen day after day in the district's assignment office is something distressing to witness. The writer hasn't any definite knowledge of why this year's porters were forloughed by District and how its extra men are faring; but taking the reports of our correspondent, Mr. Reid, of that territory, times are equal—which are faithfully distributed. Since the unemployment situation has become intense the Centre is using original helpful means by which actual real has been obtained, in addition, the distribution of clothing and bakery goods given each week.
$52,000 Raised By Negroes For New Dallas Y. M. C. A.
Dallas, Texas.—The Moorland Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city has established a new record of cash collections from colored people on the new building, which they are about to enter.
Two years ago, a building campaign was conducted under the direction of Robert J. Drummertz of the National Institute of York, in which the colored people were asked to raise at least $50,000. An amount in excess of that figure was subscribed, with Dr. J W Anderson making a contribution of $2500, the largest gift of any colored man to a YMCA or similar campaign. Up to that point, the colored people had paid $40,000 of the amount subscribed, and under the leadership of Mr Drummertz entered a campaign to collect the balance of $10,000 before entering the new building Dr. Anderson was made chairman of the committee, Dr. R. T. Hammond, the executive, and Charles T. Brackins chairman of the Special Grills, Committee.
Dr. Anderson himself made an additional contribution of $2,500 bringing the total amount of his cash contribution to $10,000. Last Monday, the -campaign ended with the result of $11,254 collections on the part of collections on the part colored type of $11,254. The building will be formally opened in January. Leon W. Steward, formerly of St. Louis, is the executive, secretary. Mr. DeFranz has conducted all of the building campaigns of the YM. M. T. A. for the past seven years, and amounts as high as $150,000 have been subject in single campaigns, but Dallas marks the greatest of his achievements in a cash effort.

ly as bad there
For the next three weeks, however, business is expected to be of such volume that the situation will be considerably improved. With the holiday traveling which will be done at large colleges and schools, and Yuletide travel that will naturally develop, despite the hard times, these officials and clerks should be able to enjoy a respite from stories and anguished-looking jaces—for several weeks anyway.
A sign-out clerk, for instance, in a large Eastern district was heard to declare recently that if things didn't improve shortly around his office he would either have to quit job, or of going crazy. "These are poor drivers driving me mad. They stand around with long faces, expecting work that you cannot supply. If it were only hard times with us, you could say, find another job, the situation on the same every time. No really feel them. It is no easy job being a sign-out clerk these days," declared that young man.
Speaking recently with a Pullman representative, whose duties are largely in connection with the situation, he said many times, he said the only thing he saw in which the situation could be alleviated would be for the regular porters to lay-off one day a week, in addition to regular lay-overs. This plan, he thought, by giving the situation somewhat, by giving the extra porters something to do.
Continuing, he said this plan had been tried out West among the porters, and so far had proven quite satisfactory. He would not commit himself, however, as to how, he thought, the Eastern porters would accept the plan. He mattered the matter to several New York internets in the impression they conveyed was that the plan would not be looked upon with favor, although admitting that this appears to be a rather selfish attitude. For the next: three, or may be four weeks, the subject need not give anyone much concern, but antes that, unless all the indications remain valid, store for the coming winter months, something along this line will have to be done.
As a ten-year porter, who is on the extra list, despite his time in service, remarked last week, "No one is making more than he can use these days, no matter what is his reason, but it is a period of sacrifice. If he doesn't feel inclined to make some sort of sacrifice in behalf of his brother and fellowworker, isn't much of a man." In any event it seems as though the porters will have to share with one another in the present depression the same as other group of workers. It will all depend on the manner in which they care to be. The one who would be to do it voluntarily rather than by compulsory methods, was how one Pullman official briefly put it.
Picked Up Here and There
Frank H. Cook, who worked at one time as a Pullman porter in the Jersey Northern District, was found dead on Wednesday morning, December 31 in a tattoo shop run by Max Hitler, at 346 Wep 90th street.

vestigation by the company's well fare department in this city which was notified of the man's death by the tailor shop owner. No facts were given as to the nature of the injuries rounding the former porter's death other than mentioned. Inquiry disclosed, however, that since leaving the Pullman employ, nine years ago, Cook had led somewhat of a nomadic existence, so far as employment was concerned. Further evidence were held from Dade 'Brothers' Funeral Home, Seventh avenue, on Monday, December & S. J. Freeman, who is usually the Pullman representative in such cases, was among those present.
Penn Terminal Notes
By J. T. REID
J. D. Bamister, our travelling instructor, with us again last week and save the boys a wonderful talk. We are always glad to have him as his years of experience place him by our side. We are also able to take great pride in telling us of his past. We should feel very proud that the Pullman Company has assigned one of our group to this important position and we hope that when our old friend is away, that service of our group will receive the appointment. Of course this will be deeply largely on the record left behind by Mr. Bamister. So it will be up to us to carry out the instructions given by us by our colleague, the Pullman Company that we appreciate their selection.
The grim monster death has again invaded our ranks and removed from our midst our brother and co-workers William H. Harper, who has for 8 years been a member of the great fullman family. These 8 years have brought him to a new bonding friendship. He was a link in the chain of members that 'comprise the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association, an organization dedicated to charity and benevolence.' In this Association he was a man of influence and power over the P. T. Dixter join with his family and host of friends in this hour of sadness. We extend to the widow our deepest sympathy for the loss of her beloved husband. It does seem trace to be cut down in youth, in strength and cut of manhood, but God knows best her brother porter beyond the river where sorrows shall be no more.
We have just received the following porters via transfer from Denver, Colorado: P. Hamhhe, J. A. Price, J. Moore, No. 2, W. J. Norton, J. C. Leatherman and R. O. Warner from Kansas Giv Moe J. Routen, Z. Williams, McKenzie M. Bofft, P. Warner, O. J. Ienkins, T. Gufford, Luke Thomas, E. L. Winston, Eura Smith and J. L. Golden. A good many of these men were with its last year but I am here to tell our another year and they should prepare ourselves for a hard grind. For unless business picks up I am afraid that they are not going to do so well. However, I understand that they had nothing to do at their home districts so they shouldn't feel badly here if they are not going to do so well. The Philadelphia schedule has changed again. Wonder if the P. R. will ever be satisfied with the operation of these trains. Instructor Redd has his hair cut. Wonder what's going to happen. He sees for it. He has seen Edward Hall our messenger, smile when he finds a hat on his desk?

Election of Delegates:
By Missionary Sac
Stating that tht recent election
of delegaics to the’ Quadrennial
whigh will be held in Louisville,
Kyi, in October, 1931, by the New
|York Conference Branch W. M.
trude Brawner of 494 Hancock
treet; Brooklyn, has entered -pro-
.eMt against the methods used,
The ‘third. convention of ‘the
New York Conference was held
a1 St John's A, M. E. Church on
thursday, December 11. The con-
vention opened in regular, form
with Mrs. Mary ‘Edwards. presid-
ing and business was, transacted.
The afternoon Was given over to
the clegtion of delegates,
In commenting on the election,
Mrs, Brawner said: "Never before
in the history of the Conference
Branch, and 1 have been.a mem-
ber for 22 years, was there such
an clection, ‘The president, Mrs.
Mary Edwards, selected for dele-
gates: her entire staff of officers
and heir executive board and plac-
ed their names on a ballot with
a ring around them for the mem-
pers of the Conference Branch to
slect.
“Heretofore,” said Mrs, Brawn:
“er, “there have always — been
blanks given out to the member!
sand they are privileged to vote for
thE ones of their choice. But this
time the president would not al
tow that to be done. The ballot:
which they had to use were giver
out about. two -hours before the
election by Mrs. Lillian J. Jobn
son and when we were organized
and ready ‘to go in to the election
\ question was raised as to th
ballots that we were to use.
“The president said that we wer
to use the ballots that we hac
gr we eguld write on the floor
A. great Bumber of the member:
contended that they would vot
for the ones of their choice, an
so they wrote their names on th
back of the hallot which the pres
ident had secured and the resul
was that more than 30 ballots wer
thrown out by the secretary an
tellers, Mrs. Emily Kinch an
Mrs Beckett,
“The result was that all of th
president's staff of officers wa
tlected just as she wanted and tb
others’ names who were chose
Sy the niajority of the Conferenc
Eranch was thrown ont, And, s
\e aS a committee arc enterin
our protest against. this -clec-
tion and will demand . that they
‘not be seated in‘ the’ Quadrennial,
“We are'living in an age of in-
telligence and siavery. has passed
and we are demanding a clean cut
christian leadership and one that
we can honor and respect, Untess
something is ‘done.in the near fu-
ture the Missionary Societies in
New York will be no sore ‘for
we as christian workers are tired
of giving our money and labor for
the caus¢ of missions and socalled
christian women going around the
world at our expense.
“We are asking through this
valuable paper that the .bishop of
the First Episcopal District visit
our conference once in a while
and alsa the president of the pa-
rent body, Perhaps they can in a
great measure stop some of these
political, traits.” .
