Percy J. Wallace Thousands. Jam Church Doors Seeking Admission to Funeral Services; Body Lay in State for Two Days. MOURNERS FILL CHURCH TO TIME OF FUNERAL The remains of the the Rev. Percy J. Wallace, pastor of first Calvary Baptist Church, Norfolk, and one of the most influential ministers in the Baptist denomination, were laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery Tuesday afternoon, January 2. The funeral services began at noon and it was near six 'clock' before the body was interred in its final resing place. Dr. Wallace died suddenly Thursday morning, December 28, at his home 813 Henry street. He had been a sufferer from high blood pressure and had recently under the constrictions of his physician, but a short while prior to his death his condition had appeared to greatly improve and on Wednesday, the day before his death, he preached the funeral of one of his members. HAD LARGE FUNERAL The funeral of Rev. Wallace was the largest witnessed in this city in this generation. The church doors were opened at nine o'clock in the morning and though the services were not scheduled to begin until 12 m., as early as 10:30 the building was full to overflowing and more than a thousand persons blocked the church doors and the sidewalks, stretching all the way across on Wide and Henry streets, and extending for more than two blocks in each direction. So great was the crowd seeking admission that the police were apprehended, who could not gain entrance to the church stationed themselves in front of the doors and across the streets on door stoops, riveting their gaze on the entrances for five hours awaiting to get at least a glimpse at the cortege when it should start for the cemetery. BODY LAY IN STATE The body lay in state in the church all day Sunday and Monday in order that it might be viewed by the public. Thousands passed, the bier in these two days and took a last look at the pastor. From early Sunday morning until Tuesday the crowd kept nu a continuous stream to the church and hundreds sat in mornings in the building throughout the two days. Drawn faces and tear-wet eyes were exhibited by the silent mourners who sat day by day near the bier of their pastor until it was finally placed in that beautiful and lonely spot in Calvary Cemetery. The funeral was preached by Dr. J. H. Burks, of Cleveland, Ohio, a long friend of the deceased. Dr. Co. H. Simms, of New York, was a member of ceremonies. Ministers of all nominations were present and eyelogues were read attesting to the work of Rev. Wallace in Norfolk and other places where he had pastor. Dr. Evans Payne, of Richmond, lived a touching eulogy, as it from his church and under his torate that Rev. Wallace was dined in the ministry. Dr. Wall also received his baptism from Evans. Rev. Evans has pastored his chair in Richmond for 42 years, and he been in the ministry for 56 year having baptized more than 8,000 persons. Other ministers taking part the services were: E. W. Farnsworth, D. W. Harris, B. Mitchell, Philadelphia; Dr. W. Johnson, Richmond. The services lasted for five hour Testimonials from numerous churches and organizations from all over the state and country were read, for Dr. Wallace was not only an influential minister in this city, but the sphere of his influence extended thru out the Baptist denomination. Rev. Percy J. Wallace was pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church for sixteen years, coming to Norfolk in 1906. First Calvary then occupied a site at the corner of Church and Nicholson streets. A short while after taking charge at this church he purchased two adjoining lots for the enlargement of the church for Sunday school purposes. A short while later he with the congregation purchased the site of the present church and erected the building at a cost of more than $75,000. It is one of the finest colored churches in the South. Two years before his death the last dollar was paid on the edifice and ajoinning property purchased with the intention of erecting a home for the aged and infirm members. him members. He was a native of Richmond, a graduate of Virginia Union University and the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Virginia Seminary and College. VIRI Dr. Wallace is survived by his widow and two nephews. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923 REV. J. A. YOUNG, D. D. LOCAL MAN WITH COMMUNITY CENTER LOCAL MAN WITH COMMUNITY CENTER James A. Spratley, Former Bank Clerk, New Executive Secretary Of Community Center. James A.

Long, pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church, was presented an Oakland sedan automobile by his congregation on last Tuesday night. The presentation was made at the church by Mrs. Eliza Clark on behalf of the Women's League, which took such an active part in making the gift possible.

She especially emphasized the pride the members take in him for his exemplary Christian life in the community. His zeal to advance the Kingdom of God. Rev. Long was visibly touched by the speech and the honor conferred upon him by his flock and expressed determination to wear the car out in the service of the church. Rev. C. P. Madison spoke highly of Rev. Long and said that no other minister had come to Norfolk and within two years after coming to the city had been so highly honored by his congregation such as Rev. Long had been. A large crowd witnessed the presentation and congratulated the minister. CITY OBSERVES EMANCIPATION DAY FITTINGLY Parade and Exercises at Church Marked Celebration of 59th Anniversary of Freedom; Many Orders Take Part. DR. J. A. YOUNG WAS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Emancipation Day was fittingly observed by the colored citizens of Norfolk, January 1, in a creditable street parade in the afternoon and appropriate exercises at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church at night, all of which were conducted under the auspices of Norfolk Emancipation Association. The officers and members of the Association put forth every effort to make the celebration worthy of Norfolk's colored citizens, the result being reflected in the showing made. Hundreds of persons who did not participate in the parade were the ex-convicted church were, nevertheless, inward with the spirit of emancipation and lined the streets along the line of march and watched in a reflective mood the splendid effort of the marchers to keep alive the spirit of the day. DR. YOUNG ORATOR Dr. J. A. Young, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church, delivered the principal address at the night exercises. The speaker in an eloquent and classical address revived the spirit of Lincoln, Douglas, Henry Ward Beecher, Harriett Beecher Stowe, John Brown and other noted abolitionists. Dr. Young spoke on the subject, "Things Too Precious to Forget." He characterized the Emancipation and Proclamation as one of the events in the race's history as too precious to forget and stated that recent historians have attempted to withdraw from Abraham Lincoln the credit of emancipating the race, asserting that it was the preservation of the Union that inspired Lincoln more than any thought for it. The former did not take issue with those who might think thusly, but he declared that 'even if so, the race was a part of the Nation, and the whole is greater than any of its parts and the Nation had to be preserved if the inevitable freedom was to come. "As I think of the utterances of Lincoln when standing watching the barter and trade in slaves on the Mississippi auction block, when he declared that 'if ever I get a chance at this damnable institution I am going to hit it and hit it hard.' I can but believe that the patriot was inspired by high humanitarian impulses when he penned the immemorable document," declared Dr. Young. The speaker reviewed the principal progress of the race since freedom, but cautioned against being over sanguine and warned that there are still many obstacles to be surmounted. The speech held the audience in rapt attention throughout the delivery at the chols of which tremendous applause broke loose. A beautiful programme participated in by the following persons completed the appropriateness of the exercises; Miss Mamie E. Anderson, Emancipation Proclamation; poem, Miss Mildred Dudley; solo, Miss Alice Harris; violin solo, Miss Olga Carter; solo, Miss Bessie Wright. Rev. M. D. Smith, pastor of Metropolitan Church, gave the invocation and Captain George Wilson made fitting remarks, Mr. Charles S. Morvis, Jr., although not scheduled to appear on the program, was present and delivered a short but thrilling, oration in keeping with the spirit of the exercises. A capacity audience filled the church. To Captain George W. Wilson, president of the Norfolk Emancipation Association and Lieutenant Wycham Tyler, grand marshall, is due much credit for the success of the celebration. However, they were fortunate in being surrounded by a loyal corps of co-workers. The parade was led by a platoon of police, the grand marshall and the Excelsior Band, followed by Uniform Ranks Knights of Pythias, Patriauchs uniform), G. U. Church, First Church Church Cadets, Sh. Jenkins (A. M. E. Church) Cadets, Sons of Norfolk, Premier Military Band, Lindenwood Band, Four Hundred Social Club, Order of Red Men, Sons and Daughters of Moses and automobiles with officers of the Association. WANTED HIS WIFE KILLED Washington, D. C.—Andrew T. Bailey, colored, former employee of the post office, was convicted by a jury in Criminal division 1, of soliciting to commit a felony. This is so to be the first indictment ever turned in this district for this captain Bert Emerson, a ssa of United States attorney, have back to the law, a sense of a statute. The time of imprisonment, not five years. Mrs. Vinie Wilson Takes Arsenic To End Her Life Young Woman Was Mentally Unsound, It Is Claimed By Persons Who Knew Her; Had Attempted Suicide Before. Grieving over the death of her pastor, Rev. P. J. Wallace, caused Mrs. Vinie Wilson, 24 years old, of 305 Scott street, to commit suicide by taking arsenic at her home last Thursday, the day Rev. Wallace died, it is claimed. Mrs. Wilson died at St. Vincent's Hospital the night following her act. It is alleged by persons who have known the young woman practically all of her life, that she was mentally unsound. Undertaker Hale at whose establishment the body was removed to, stated that he had known Mrs. Wilson for years and that he discovered she was mentally defective when she would come to his place on occasions merely to look at dead bodies. She would view the bodies and shake her head, often exclaiming that people were accusing her of causing the deaths. On the day she killed herself, he states, he met her in the street as she was leaving Rev. Wallace's residence and as she looked so dejected he inquired what was the trouble with her, but to this she did not answer and two hours later he was informed of her act. According to Mrs. Vinie Hammond, the young woman's mother, she had worked as a domestic in the pastor's home for a while, several years ago, and that because of Mrs. Wallace's kindness and sympathy she had become greatly endearced to the family. Neighbors say that Mrs. Wilson had attempted suicide on several other occasions, and on the day R. Wallace, died she was heard to say, "Well, that my pastor is dead I have nothing more to live for." They paid no attention to her until they discovered her in her rooms in the throes of a bomb. A morbid crowd gathered at the undertaker's parliars Sunday and Monday to view the body of the young woman. At the request of her mother Mr. Hale had a donation box placed in the dead room and a collection was solicited to help defray the burial expense of the girl, as her insurance policy was voided by the taking of her own life. Not enough money was collected to bury her, but Mr. Halle assured the woman's mother that the body would be given a Christian burial, regardless, and on Thursday, January 4th, it was buried. REV. E. E. SMITH SPEAKS IN NORFOLK REV. E. E. SMITH SPEAKS IN NORFOLK Deliverers Masterly Oration on, "The Challenge of The Hour," to Large Audience. The challenge is thrown out to all decent people to fight for more law enforcement against the iniquitious liquor traffic, against mob violence and all forms of lawlessness, declared Rev. E. E. Smith, of Richmond, in an address at Bank Street Baptist Church last Tuesday night. Rev. Smith spoke on the, "Challenge of the Hour," and an appreciative audience listened attentively while the speaker in an eloquent flow of oratory decried the modern tendency to break away from all lawful and decent restraint. Those who broke the laws and are charged with these execution are among the first to break-them, and if one should doubt it he simply has to look at the average accommodations in the South for colored people. They are not only not what they requires them to be, but that disgrace upon the execution nation. Another chal ONVICTED on Takes To End Her Life Undertaker King Opens New Parlor Mr. B. F. King, undertaker and embalmer, who was formerly connected with Baker and King Co., has opened independent offices at 1248 Church street, and is prepared to render the best service in his line. The new place is nicely fitted up and as Mr. King is well known in the undertaking business, he expects to build up an even more progressive business than he formerly enjoyed. PRES. HARDING MAY NOT BE CANDIDATE Events Transpiring Around The Capitol Indicate Uneasiness In Administration Circles; Strong Leadership Wanted. (MORRIS BROWN) (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Jan.—Although it has been customary to give a second term to a President, with whose administration his party is pleased, in order that he may successfully carry out the policies which he has inaugurated, the president must be persistent that President Harding will not be a candidate to succeed himself. RECORD NOT PLEASING Mr. Harding was elected by the largest plurality ever given a presidential nominee. A gifted orator, with a pleasing personality, the American people were persuaded that he had a panacea for their economic, industrial and political ills and would lead the country back to normaly. Much was expected of him; he has proved a disappointment. Perhaps, his basic failure was his neglect to assume party leadership. Having criticized Woodrow Wilson in the heat of the campaign for being a dictator, President Harding would not sacrifice consistency by assuming leadership in legislative matters and having the Congress to enact such measures as were pledged by the Republican party. CABINET ROWS FREQUENT CABINET ROWS FREQUENT In the appointment of his cabinet, the selections of the President were not such as to inspire confidence in his administration. His one outstanding appointee is Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary of State, to whom credit belongs for the one achievement of the administration—the disarmament conference. His other appointees have caused him more or less embarrassment. He have been constant. While Will Hays ostensibly left to be the head of the moving picture industry, there have been frequent hints that there was another reason; that he was being shorn of his political power, his advice was being rejected and that he was virtually forced out. The row between Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of the Interior Fall, over the proposed reorganization of the executive departments has finally led to the announcement that Mr. Fall will retire from the ebinet on March 4. Amorhis probable successors are named, Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, and Carmi Thompson, of Ohio. Not only is it rumored that the President will not be a candidate in 1924, but political wiseacres are caing about for the next Republican nominee this early in the campaign. With the return of former Woodrow Wilson and cipation in Democracy, the favorable treaty American parties affairs, which boost by the action for confessmen Reviews Race Progress for Year 1922 and Bids People Encouragement for Year 1923 In a Striking Message. SAYS CHURCH IS THE NATURAL LEADER Rev. Long's sermon 'Sunday morning was retrospective of the year 1922. In his unfolding of the text, Psalms 126, 3rd verse, "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad," he reviewed the events of the past year, which have had an important hearing upon the conditions of the country at large, and the educational, political and religious and economic welfare of the race. Referring to the present conditions of the country, Rev. Long said, "The Lord hath done great things for us as a country; we are at peace, there are no bread lines, no massacres, no refugees, the factories are open and the fields have bloomed." POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT In surveying the political situation, Rev. Long took to task the attitude of the Republican party toward the colored voter during the first year and said in part: "We have come to realize that the Republican party is no more a friend to us than any other party is a friend to us. We are learning to vote to get the right man in the right place, regardless of party affiliations. The Republican party understands it can no longer keep our loyalty by appointing a few men of the race to office. Every colored man should get on the registration books by paying his pool-tax. Men will respect you if you do this." Regarding the economic condition, the exodus of colored people to the North where their labor is wanted "shows that the race is holding its own economically despite the fact that in many places in the South thru the agency of malevolent societies, colored labor had been driven out," said Rev. Long. In the course of his semion, the speaker referred to the advancement the race has made in the past year along educational lines as substantial, and spoke of the interest the Southern white people are taking in the education of the colored man as a worthy effort to make him an intelligent citizen of his country. RELIGIOUS PROGRESS In speaking of the religious development of the race, he continued: "The church is the background and leader of all our advancement. The recent church gatherings (white) have denounced lynching in the strongest terms." Conversely, he said: "There is a rising tide against the wickedness and the wrongs which have been perpetrated against the black man. Let us refrain from selling our manhood and womanhood in the great crisis in which at any time we may happen to be placed. And in the year Tyrus's subject was "The New Negro of the Negro." The address is practical, enlightening, inspiring and eloquent. Among some of the things he said was, that the Negro's spirit will not fall. Under God he would take his place side side with great races of the world. He also stated that you cannot enslave a man unless you break his spirit. The Negro's spirit would not break. He closed his eloquent address by urging his hearers to seek the friendship of the best white men, stating that such men were ever willing and anxious to see you rise. At the close of the services the following officers were elected: Mr. H. C. Holloman, president; Mr. Luther Colden, vice-president; Mrs. Mattie Morris, second vice-president; Mrs. A. E. Vick, secretary; Mrs. L. A. Lewis, assistant secretary; Mr. J. F. Peel, treasurer. The Nansemond and Isle of Wight Sunday School Union held excellent sessions, Saturday, 30, and Sunday, 31, at the Morning Star Baptist Church, Windsor, Va. Rev. J. H. Harrison preached the quarterly sermon. The next session will be with the First Baptist Sunday school, Pleasant Hill. Impressive Funeral For Mrs. B. Hunter Mrs. Bettie Hunter died at her late residence on St. James avenue, on Friday, December 22, at 5:20 p.m. Funeral services were held Monday, December 25th, from the home, conducted by Rev. T. J. Johnson, pastor of the Street Baptist Church, of which the deceased was a member for thirty-three years. Rev. Johnson spoke of the charitable and motherly life which she lived. Mrs. Hunter was one of Suffolk's oldest citizens and was known by the many loving deeds which she did for humanity. She was a consistent member of the Home Mission Society, of Pine Street Church, Order of Eastern Star, and Courts of Calanthe. Each of these orders evidenced their respect by testing testimonials read by Mrs. Z. Z. Tate, Mrs. Odell Peele and Mrs. A. E. Vick; and by their impressive burial rites. A solo, "Face To Face," was sung by Mrs. Fannie Eason, of Pittsburgh. Mrs. Hunter is survived by her husband, Mr. Oscar Hunter, Sr.; three daughters, Mrs. Wm.

New Bern, N. U.—Following close pon the disastrious fire that rend ted thousands of colored familie: * romeless in this city recently, with its attendant grief and sorrow, comes another blow to add to the-unhappi ness of these unfortunate people This blow comes not from the uncon trolled fates, but from the city fa thers—the Board of Aldermen, it is the action taken by the Board at a recent meeting looking toward :the “wholesale condemmation of the / choicest Property owned by’ the col ored fire sufferers, ostensibly for mu nicipal purposes—a park and the en- largement of the cemetery, but many believe that the Board is actuated by other motives. New Bern colored citizens ‘state that a successful culmination of such action would mean the removal of all Negro business and residences to the west of the Graded School, & section unimproved by any sanitary arrange. ment ,without paving or sewer. It ‘would mean, they add, the destruction of a large amount of Negro business and the subjection of Negro property owners to the most discouraging in. conveniences. “The saddest whase of the proposed action, continue the colored citizens, is ‘that most of the people to be af- fected are life long residents. of the town. Their property has been ac- quired through a generation of strug- gle and sacrifice and their lives and homes are interwoven with the his- tory of the city. They love the city of their birth and the birth of their ancestors and. the plots. of ground owned by them, tho now barren of ay, structure, are hallowed ground. ‘hey have voiced a strong’ protest against the alleged proposal and have determined to make a decided stand against what they characterize ag an outrage. They have retained able counsel to follow the future action of the Board of Aldermen in this mat- ter and protect their interests to the utmost. The Colored Ministerial Alliance of the city has addressed a letter to the white ministers of New Bern relative to the proposed action by the city looking toward the condemnation pro- ceedings. The letter follows: Rey. and dear sir:— ‘The Colored Ministerial Alliance of the City of New Bern laboring with the colored people in the midst of their sorrows, losses, needs and anxi- eties, in this ‘sad time of dire calam- ity, takes the liberty of addressing you in their behalf. ‘The sympathetic and kindly white people of New Bern have done won- ders in ministering to the bodily eom- forts of our stricken people. For this they shall; be forever grateful. There now arises however, another calamity greater than the pitiless flames: the proposed action of the Gity Council in condemning for park and cemetery the land of the colored people long “held by them and high- Jy cherished. ‘This action throws up- ‘on the poorest people in the commun- ity the burden of community changes which it is hard to believe, constitute a public necessity, his crisis in the fortune of the lowly constitutes a new call to a high- er Ministry than that to cold and hungry bodies, a call to minister com- fort and peace of mind to those who have long dwelt in your midst in all confidence and ;-vod will, a call to con- firm the long cherished’ conviction of our people that in this fair city they have labored for, and lived in the midst of friends. i | Should this proposed action be car- ried out, it will forever discourage and scatter the most thrifty and in- dustrious element in the colored po- pulation, the class that always works, the class without which you must in- vite in vain the coming of industries to this city and drive them “(the col- ored workers and home builders) to seek homes ‘in other quarters which will promise them security in the pos- session of the fruits of their honest toil. “Should it be carried out no col- ored citizen will ever feel secure in the possession of anything except: what is on bis back. ‘We come to you, responsible leaders | among your people, to request you from your high and holy place to use| your influence to bestir the Christian conscience of this community which has just passed through the experi- ence of a great revival of Christ's religion of love, justice and righteous- ness, to place the irrestable impact of its power behind our reasonable de- sire to retain that which is our own. Praying that the God who owns us ali as His children, the black and the white, may guide you to the espousal of our case; we are, Faithfully yours, ‘The Colored Ministerial Alliance of New Bern. i J.

Many white people, who are always interested in their colored brother's welfare have been heard in opposition to the movement, it is said. This is evidenced by an article which appear éd in the New Bern Sun-Journal last ‘week furnished in a letter by a' white resident of a neighboring city. The article appears below: ‘A local resident this morning ev the -Sun-Journal a letter written by a citizen of a’ neighboring. town, éx- pressing an opinion relative to the proposed enlargement of the cemetery in this city.

C.P,, the State Grand Lodge ‘of Masons closed a two day session here which convened December 12-14. } It was one of the pleasantest ses- sions in the history of the Order and wes marked by thevattendance of ma- ny prominent Masons from all sec- tions of the state. The annual address of Grand Mas- tor Dr, James E. Shepherd was a clas- sic, besides reviewing the year’s work it sounded an optimistic keynote for the future of North Carolina Musons. Dr. Shepherd was reelected. Dr. H. B. Kennedy of New Bern, was elect- ed Grand Junior Warden; E. W. Mil- ler, of Asheville, Grand Senior War- den; Dr. W. H.' Moore, Wilmington, Grand Historiare; Dr. W. H. Bonner, Grand Official Reporter; Principal C. M. Eppes, Grand Lecturer; Lawyer Rich and Dr. James B. Dudley, Com- mittee of Foreign Correspondence.

He is the “Apollo Belvidere” of the Masonic Grand Lodge. Upon a motion by C. M. Eppes, Greenville, the Grand Lodge passed an order ‘authorizing that a_special page dedicated ‘to Dr. James B.-Dud- ley, the greatest Masonic Jurist in the state, and a legislative committee of five be appointed to represent the Negro Masons at the coming session of the General Assembly in the in- terest of A. & T, College and equip- ment.

Daily Negro Times, of which Thomas Fortune is editor, has just pointed out that while Africa led in learning we are ignorant of the thoughts and achievements of them because they had no written language, and therefore, they are as dead races because we have no written records of them; while, on the other hand, Rome and Greece, which sat at the feet of the Africans and learned of them the principles of such culture as they possessed and transmitted to Europe and America, live because they had a written language and a record of their rise and fall was made. It is interesting to note that Howard, University, it is said, has for sometime, beginning with the establishment of the Moorland Foundation, and through it the "acquisition of Negro Americana," has made the study of American Negro Life an important feature of its work, and that now, under the supervision of its History Department, with Mr. William Lee Hansberry, a native African, as director, will begin the active work of teaching outline courses of ancient and medieval African history. This is a very important announcement. It should have a very far reaching influence upon the race in the gradual development of it, including the courses in American Negro History. It is good that Howard University has taken advanced ground in this matter, and we are sure the example will not be lost upon our other colleges and universities. The Christian Recorder says that Bishop Coppin's little six year old daughter, Theodosia, recently rebuked her white teacher for what she regarded as false history concerning her race, saying, "Teacher, that is not correct," and proceeded to tell her what was correct, as she had been taught by her father and mother. Our children and grown-ups should be in position to rebuke all those who, ignorantly, or to serve their malicious purposes, undertake to falsify the history of the race, ancient or modern. If our history is taught in our schools, as it should be, they will be in position to do this. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J C.)

Letters From The People A REMARKABLE WOMAN Editor of the Journal and Guide, Sir: The recent death of Mrs. Philena Moseley, has removed from the community one of the remarkable women of the city of Norfolk, and serves to call our attention to the worthwhileness of implanting great ideals and worthy motives in the hearts of the young. When very young Mrs. Moseley came in touch with missionaries from the North. They put it into her heart to be a missionary. And she began preparation for the work in the foreign field, spending quite a while in Boston going to school. But providences came into her life that led her back to her home in Norfolk, where she married and permanently settled.

Use this Co reference Negro Year Book The 1921-1922 Negro Year Book is now ready for distribution. In this sixth annual edition not only has much new material been added, but the information contained in previous volumes has been revised, rewritten and brought down to date. Over one hundred pages are devoted to a review of the events of 1919-1921 as they affect the interests and show the progress which, in the Reconstruction Period since the close of the World War, the Negro is making. The Negro Year Book is the standard work of reference on all matters relating to the Negro and is the most extensively used compendium of information on this subject. It circulates widely in every part of the United States and to a considerable extent in Canada, the West Indies, Central America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. The success of previous years has demonstrated that there is a need for a book which provides in an inexpensive form a su...int, comprehensive and impartial review of the events which affect the interests and indicate the progress Negroes are making. The Negro Year Book furnishes a compact but comprehensive statement of Historical and Statistical facts arranged for ready reference. It is at once a permanent record of current events, an encyclopaedia of Historical and Sociological facts, a directory of persons, and a bibliographical guide to the literature of the subjects discussed. The Negro Year Book has the most extended and comprehensive bibliography which has been put out on the Negro in the United States. In addition to the topically arranged bibliographies at the end of the book, the reader will find throughout the volume, in connection with special topics, further references to the subjects discussed. This is helpful to the student who wishes to pursue further the investigation of any particular subject. Address....

The above named church also became a member of the Union. The Rev. V. B. Clark, Sunday December 81st P. M., preached at the this church. Subject: "True Brotherhood." The speaker said in part. That the blood of parentage was not sufficient relation between Man and Man; it required a Christian principle that could not be obtained by any other medium except through Christ and even than be assumed by the "Holy Spirit." A large audience was present which seemed to have enjoyed the sermon. Many white persons from Ocean View attended the service. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH At 4:30 last Sunday the early morning prayer meeting opened led by the chairman of the Deacon Board R. X. Jones.

HARRIS OUR RIGHT TO 100 PER CENT There appeared in a recent issue an editorial entitled "An Insult to to reflect the anti-Ku-Klux views of was in itself a remarkable defense of editorial was printed in last week's is are reprinting it by request: There appeared in a recent issue of the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News an editorial entitled "An Insult to the White Race," which, while intended to reflect the anti-Ku-Klux views of that influential Southern newspaper, was in itself a remarkable defense of the Americasim of the Negro. This editorial was printed in last week's issue of the Journal and Guide, but we are reprinting it by request. Governor Allen, of Kansas, struck the fatal weakness of the Ku Kuklan in his speech at White Sulpher Springs when he spoke of James Fitzsimmons, first American soldier to die in the Toul sector, whom the Ku Kuklan condomens as less than 100 percent American because he was a slave. Allen might have added that stream thickly umong the crosses are si-painted stars, under which lie dead Jews, who died that America might have been by the killing of the invisible empire, are denied the protection of the flag which they protected with their lives. Could anything more shameful be conceived in imaginations of men? Yes, we think that there is one foiler shame. Let it be illustrated by a picture from the past—nothing heroic, notning unusual, merely a sketch that might have been a picture of a man. Imagine a white river road that traverses a broad river valley, on the distant side of which are high hills.

BRIGGS Instructor of the Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. GOLDEN TEXT-II is lawful to do good on the Sabbath Day—Matt. 12:12. 1. Jesus Heals the Woman on the Sabbath Day.—verses 10-13. How to give God's Day to God-like deeds. The more nearly we imitate the Lord Jesus on the Holy day by doing good to the bodies and souls of Jesus. We got to the heart of the sabbatical statute—Sr. W. L. Watkinson. This woman had her infirmity eighteen years. This may be because the body is straight as an arrow. There are men and women whose forms are admired for their erectness, their graceful proportions, their calm life movements, their lovely souls yet whose souls are de- This woman had her infirmity eighteen years. This may be the case even while the body is straight as an arrow. There are men and women whose forms are advanced for their erectness, their graceful porportions, their lithe movements, their lovely features, yet whose souls are debased, whose desires are grovelling, characters are sadly mis-shapen and deformed. Sin always bends the soul. — N. R. Mill. Jesus made the crooked woman straight and immediately she glorified God. "This miracle suggests the great restoring work of the Sabbath. The Sabbath finds us bent to the earth with a weight of toll, of sorrow, of worry, and it gives us a chance to walk with the Lord, to labor with the labors, to throw off our anxieties and get into our hearts the peace and joy that Christ alone can give. Careful measurement of our physical energies proves that the night's rest of each day of the six work days restores only about five-sixths of the waste of the day before, so that on Saturday night we are able to spend a full Sunday brings up the balance, and sends us into the week physically, 'as good as new.'" 2. The Ruler of the Synagogue Indirectly Rebukes Jesus for Healing on the Sabbath—verses 14-15. "There are eyes in which ritual is more beautiful than mercy. There are noses, keen and sharp, to which the eyes are more frightened than deeds of love."—Dean Charles R. Brown. The Ruler of the Synagogue spoke to the multitude, but his words were for Jesus. There are six days in the month of July, the day of the Sabbath—verse 15. The Pharisees were proned to do just that sort of thing, make the institution greater than the man; subordinate the interests of man to the requirements of an institution. The Pharisees miracles were done on the Sabbath, besides, probably, others described in general terms. His Sabbath cures wounded the leaders of his nation in their tenderest sensibilities, as keepers and expounders of the book of the Bible of his murder. But to distinguish the Sabbath as he did by working upon it so many of his miracles was to consecrate it to the purposes of his Gospel and to baptize it into the spirit of his Kingdom."—Prof. John Ribekes of the Inconsistency of the Pharisees—verses 14-17. "The Talmud has minute rules for leading out on animals on the Sabbath: An ass may go out with his pack saddle if it was tied on before the Sabbath but a camel may go out with a halter, but not with a rag tied to his tail; a string of camels may be - if the driver takes all the halters in his hand, and does not twist them, but they must not be tied to one of them on for pages."—Alexander McKay. It was certainly more reasonable and humane to loose the daughter of Abraham from the bond of Satan than to loosen an ox or an ass from the stall. The Pharisees were impatiently personal and desperately describes hypocrites. All the ministries of Jesus were put to shame. The fine-spun distinctions of deeds lawful and unlawful were spider's webs, and its act of mercy flew high above the webs, winged creature glued in the sunshine spider sits in his mouse halled." "Be careful of your example. Show by your conduct that you love and prize the Sabbath. Make it different from all the other days. Adorn it. Make it the jewel of the week. Read on the Sabbath the best books. Think only the highest thoughts. Let it be a day without a thorn. Nourish only the noblest feelings. Release yourself from thinking thoughts from down-lying thoughts. Say to yourself and others. "This is the day whih the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be in it"."—Rev. Charles E. Jefferson, D. D. BRIGGSOGRAMS The Sabbath is a day of rest, necessary worship, and a day of careful work. The stability or dissolution of the American people is largely dependent upon their keeping or breaking of the Sabbath day. It is a paradox, nevertheless true, some people think more of animals than they do of human beings. Civilization has made the Christian the Sabbath. Man's physical moral, mental, and spiritual nature demands a day, of rest. native one-seventh of our time justly be- loved by God. longs "A Sabbath mis-speet is a week of discontent." ST.

Could anything more shameful be conceived in the im- nstitutions of men? Yes, we think that there is one fouler shame. Let it be illustrated by a picture from the past—nothing heroic, notaining unusual, merely a sketch that might have been duplicated a thousand times in a thousand places. Imagine a river that traverses a broad river valley, on high hills. Every few minutes from their dim driest a rocklet climbs灿ily into the night, curious rocklets of red fire, and green, and golden yellow; and borne on by the river a sound like distant thunder. The rocklets are signal lights and the sound is the growl of big guns; for the hills are a battle public are holding at bay an enemy who would destroy it. Down the road in the moonlight comes a big army truck, crowded to suffocation with fresh soldiers going up to take their pieces in the line. The public are holding in the olive drab and steel helm of the United States army, is a black man. Presently there is a sharp turn in the body, close to the house, something pleasens white in the moonlight. It is a group of woofen crosses, to eight of them huddled together in a field. The driver indicates that the 'Shell will crawl one of our trucks here' t o'lead 'night' he explains and drives on. In the great drama of war, that was nothing. Six or eight men, killed by a chance shell on a road five miles behind the lines—it is hard to conceive anything of less significance to the army. But the enemy, the country looks at it differently. One would like to believe that we living peacefully at our ease because our soldiers did not hesitate to die in defense of our peace and ease, could never, never look with indifference on the spot of our life blasted out. One would like to believe that ground wet with our soldier's blood thenforward became to us hallowed ground, whether the blood happened to be that of a private in the rear rank, or that of a general officer. One would like to believe that whoever stored it would be that of America might live might claim without question the right to be called American. If we are a republic, that must be so. But if we are to be ruled by an empire, an invisible empire, then these six crosses are none of ours. They are not dead for us, but they are none of ours. For they were Negroes, in the lordly language of the klucker, niggers, oftener than not damn niggers. Therefore they could not be Americans. Therefore they believed as strongly as any klucker in white supremacy. But it believes that the white man can maintain his supremacy in the broad light of day. If it thought that the white race had grown so far that it was right to rule before all men and undertake to abandon hope of the white race. The existence of the Ku Klux Klan is an insult to the white race. It is an admission that we cannot find ours except by a cowardly And when that order preaches the poisonous doctrine that the Negro is not entitled to the right of a fair trial in open court and to the equal prosecution, when a judge on the bench charged with the sacred administration of justice, will not deny that he is the head of that peplum order, we think of those judges is not one of pity for the Negro, for the Negroes have vindicated themselves. Our fear is for the nation that threatens to abandon its own dead. God help a country that could be so vile! Next to the United Kingdom, Italy is the largest importor of American wheat having received over 32,000 bushels in 1820, according to the United States Census, with 26,000 for culture.

Practically every detail of arrangement has been completed by the committee, for the mammoth inter-racial inspirational mass meeting to be staged this Sunday afternoon, January 7th, at 3:00 o'clock, in the Second Calvary Baptist Church, corner of Wide and Calvert streets. Charles Satchchell Morris, Jr., of nationally celebrated as an orator and the occasion on," The Bright Side of a Dark Subject." He will relate his experiences in the far South where more than 300,000 persons of both races acclaimed him. Mr. Morris is possibly the most widely known member of his race upon the American stage, and this tract a capacity audience, and as this is his only scheduled address here, a record breaking crowd will greet him. He will be introduced by his father, Rev. Dr. Charles Satchchell Morris, famous pulpitpee, while Mr. P. B. Guide will preside. A great chorus of 100 voices under the direction of Madam Madonna Wright, will render old plantation melodies, jubilee and classics. One musical solos will feature the meeting also.

Observation On My Southern Trip Observation On My Southern Trip By Rev. C. M. Long. Continued From Last Wtew SCHOOL CONDITIONS School conditions there are not only poor, but had, certainly as compared with the demand for better accommodations, and as compared with provisions made for other races and in view of the large tax paid there by Negroes. And yet, out of the gloom of those bad conditions, was seen the day schools of many of life in the foot that the day schools are crowded with the young, taught by very efficient instructors, while the night school is filled with adults and younger ones who have not the chance of attending day school. The war has made our group restless all through the South, much to the extent that perhaps we arn white man man more clearly "The Hand-writing on the Wall," he will awake to a sense of justice and fairplay towards the Negro. FARTHER SOUTH From Memphis, I journeyed to Marshall, Texas—one of the most prejudiced cities of the Southland. Here, as usual, city schools are almost a farce, so far as Negroes go. But there are to be found there, two also, Wiley University, a real for religious education in the whole country. Wiley University is a Methodist school—a university—a real first class center of training. I was happy to find Prof. V. Daniels and Prof. Grant, stationed in this school. Both are young men, and were students of the university. Richmond. Prof. Daniels has been made Dean of Wiley, while Prof. Grant is an instructor. Opposite Wiley University, on another hill, is located Bishop College—a Baptist school under the Northern Baptists. This college also stands in the front ranks of American Negro religious and educational centers. For over fifty years, she has been at the Dr. L. K. Williams, of Chicago Prof. Daniels, of Arkansas; Lawyer Geo. Carry, Pennsylvania; and etc. It was also my good fortune to complete my literary training there. These two schools suffered the loss of a half dozen fine buildings by fire in the last six or seven years, which, of course, set them back a long ways. They are both standing there in the far Southland as sturdy torch-bearers for the people—a people who need all the help and encourage possible. The railway strike has given the Negro a big chance for wage earning in Marshall, at the T. and P. railway shops. Many Negroes often large salaries. At present, the Negro is strong that the Governor of Texas has stationed the "Texas Rangers"—state troops—in Marshall to preserve order. We trust that peace will soon abate. The state shall have been moved, but since Marshall is inherently towards Negroes, and the K. K. K. also finds fertile soil there, no one can tell what the future will be. Negroes elsewhere, has decided that it is better to die defending his rights than to die running. Perhaps, the knowledge of this fact will help the white Negro in Marshall to be a "bittle considerate." ON TO HOUSTON Houston, Texas: This was my next stop-off. Here is a city of about 200,000 people. The Negro population is about fifty or sixty thousands strong, and we have an educational institution, viz. the college. This institution stands for the higher development of our people, and is gradually growing stronger with the passing of years. Perhaps, the most potent influence in the city of Houston is the vantage of theancement of our group is: "The Houston Informer," one of the best newspapers in America, white or black. It is edited by Mr. C. F. Richardson, a young man of course, confection and good fertile brains. I was sorry to find that this city —rich in possibilities for all races—rich in material wealth —one of the perennial holdings of the K. K. K. This perennial holdings haunt and taunts both black and white, and has sued by the Negro. situations in the city market, department stores and etc. which they have held for a quarter of a century or so. Negro people see us as churches are not such as would extinct extraordinary favorable comment. I see no churches throughout the South such as we have in Northland, Richmond, other business cities of Virginia. Negro business establishments fall far short in Houston in other Southern cities of its size, far short of what you would expect. FARTHER SOUTHLAND From Houston I drove overland firmly to visit Prairie View State Normal, for a visit to fine fine plant, headed by Dr. Ostorn, ably assisted by his strong staff of teach- GALYESTON NEXT STOP Returning by the way of Houston, I next visited Galveston, Texas, on the great Gulf of Mexico. Here is a city between the Bay and the Gulf, a perfect island, known as the Treasure Island. Here Negroes are active in politics; and to my delight, saw Negroes on the police force. Here also, the Negro is progressive in business, the fearless in speaking his convictions, defending his rights; Needless to say, the K. K. K. has no place there. VISITS VICTORIA My next point to visit was Victoria, Texas, "the City of Roses," 130 miles from Houston. This is a city of retired financiers—a city of Jews and Catholics, where the feeling between them is strong. Leaving Victoria, I started back to Virginia by the way of New Orleans, La. Here too, I stoned off and took observations. I found what I had seen elsewhere—New Orleans and French—a Catholic center. Negroes are doing well in every section of the city. The K. K. again has, little voice there. From New Orleans, I passed on to Meridian, Miss, Birmingham, Ala., Chattahannah, Penn, Roanoke and back to Norfolk. Shoots Sweetheart In Love Quarrel Greenville, N. C.—Jenious anger aroused to murderous rage in a dispute over a ring in the possession of his sweetheart, Mamie Wood, caused William Thomas, a 17 year old youth, to shoot and kill her in Pocotlownish township near here last week, it is alleged. The shooting aroused considerable indignation against the youth in Pocotlownish. He was brought to Greenville and lodged in Jail where he will probably have a preliminary hearing in a few days. The girl died within a few minutes after being fired upon at close range by her lover. Eight Year Old Boy Shot By Intuder Raleigh, N. C—Little eight year old Manchester Debman was murdered here last week when he attempted to assist his father to put a colored man out of his store. The intruder fired a load of muskshots into the building, which was heavily damaged. Joseph Stephenson is in Wake County jail charged with the murder. STANDARD G Copen A JIGG'S INN 16 THOMAS F.

Luxor,—Professor Bransted, the American Egyptologist, whose Dahabeah here is flying and American flag big enough to dominate the water front, was privileged yesterday and today to investigate the tomb of King Tutenkhamen in the Valley of Kings at Thebes, recently discovered by the Earl of Carnaron and Howard Carter. I called upon him and received the following statement: "I have sent an hour in the tomb of Tutenkhamen. The impression is overwhelming. The dispatches have but feebly suggested its marvellous reality. "I is a sight I never dreamed of seeing—the antechamber of a Pharaoh's tomb filled with magnificent equipment which only the wealth and splendor of the imperial agar of Egypt in the fourteenth century before Christ could have wrought it, received, and it still stand still. It was placed there when the tomb was last closed in antiquity. In more quantity the furniture found surpasses all precedent. In quality it is an astonishing revelation of the beauty and refinement of a Egyptian art at the culmination of its development in the imperial age, beyond anything I had imagined. To the undaunted perserverance of Lord Carnarvon and the devoted laborers of Howard Carter all students a debt of gratitude for the most momentous discovery in the long story of research in the Nile Valley.

It is a realistic drama filled with tender pathos, love and romance and one that every right mind man and woman, father and mother brother and sister would endorse. "What Every Girl Should Know," is essentially a love story, but it is, at the same time, filled with throbbing dramatic interest; those big moments when the tear struggles to your eyes try as you will to keep it down. It is the skillful blending of these emotions, drama, and love so long as there an English, or English stage, which make "What Every Girl Should Know," the exceptional entertainment that it is. Hundreds of thousands of girls in this country are brought farce to face with one of the greatest problems of living when they are called upon to enter the field of business competition. Only too many of them learn the bitterest kind of a lesson when it is too late. "What Every Girl Should Know," is a dramatic masterpiece that bars these pitfalls and shows how the sunshine can be held in a girl's life. It exposes the truth and prevents error.
