C., Jan. 12—A story was told here recently of the confession of a man at a rural religious service who gave a very good reason for his refusal to make a confession of his sins before the congregation. He stood up in the third pew from the front and declared he was a changed man. The narrow path led straight through our room, room upon room,ittered with full directions written in gold—"Heaven, heaven, I'm heaven-bound." he chanted. The minister called for the brother to "go all the way." He should mount the pulpit and relate the errors of his past, he said. He should bare his besom in repentance. The saved one vowed he could not do that. It was unthinkable "Bro-o-others. I cannot, I can't." He "The Lord desires it. He requires that all his children make full confession of their sins. He protects all who repeats," the speaker said the repeater. "Yes, but the Lord ain't the grand jury," replied the converted one, resuming his seat.

P.)—What promises to be one of the greatest progressive movements in instrumental musical developments among the people of Colored America, has been launched after a series of nation-wide conferences and a very thorough gathering of musical statistics, the gathering of the statistics of the nation, under the leadership of J. A. Jackson of New York, who has made some discoveries in this line that are quite startling. Almost a year ago the question rose in an informal talk with Captain James Henderson, manager of the Chicago Conn Company, as to the extent colored musicians have been a part of the development of music. It was soon learned that colored people have been a part of all of the development. When the foreparents of the present racial group were brought to these shoes from African soil, they brought with them native songs and instruments. In early times, the banjo and the "bonzo" extensively used in South in the mid-19th century, and then the old Negro guitar. "HONEST" THIEF SENTENCED TO FOURTEEN YEARS "HONEST" THIEF SENTENCED TO FOURTEEN YEARS Judge Regretted That He Could Not Give Longer Term Of Imprisonment To Convicted Man. PRISONER THOUGHT SENTENCE NOT SO BAD Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 8—(A. N. P.) “You are the most honest burglar I have ever come in contact with in these cases,” said Judge Davis, Monday as he sentenced Robert Riley. “You are, however, a dangerous man to be allowed to roam at large in the community. You admit the trade you follow and that you will work in the community. You admit having all the necessary apparatus to follow your business. You will have to be taken out of the community for as long as it is possible. Under the existing law the largest sentence I can give you is not less than seven years nor more than fourteen years in prison. I regret I cannot give you more.” Riley was arrested two days after he had returned to this city. He faced with robbing a restaurant at Sixty-second and Walnut streets. “What have you been doing since you got out of jail?” asked the Judge. “I’ve been working and knocking around the country,” answered Riley, as he smiled at the Judge. “You have been working at your trade as a burglar.” “No, I haven’t had much luck at that.” “Well, you were certainly well prepared.” “Yes, sir, Judge, I didn’t suppose that gun was to shoot someone, her perhaps on officer, if you were caught and had an opportunity to make use of it?” “No, Judge, I use judgment in my work. I don’t want to be sent up for murder or anything like that.” "You would shoot if the occasion arose, wouldn't you?" "If they shot at me, I would do the best I could with it." "In other words, you are a craftsman at your trade. You try to do the best you can do, what your job is?" "Yes, sir, Judge, as always try to do my best, as well. I was fed from the court officer. "Well, that is not so bad, he might have said 25 to 30 years." Riley smiled broadly as he left the court.

S.)—What is regarded as one of the most unusual acts of providence is the fact that a hatchet fell seven stories and struck Henry Leigh, aged 32 years, on the head, and apparently only knocked him unconscious. Leigh was working on the ground when a carpenter working on the seventh floor of a building under construction, dropped his hatchet. Leigh was wearing a heavy cap and it is thought by physicians that this served to weaken the force of the blow. If the hospital the doctors were unable to find any place where the skull was fractured, Hospital authorities said they believe that Leigh will recover. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925 6 Children Scramble For Present 6 Children Scramble For Present Bloomsgra, Pa., Jan. 6. (A. N. P.) Two unusual coincidences in the family of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Lemons were revealed here when a Christmas present addressed to "KL Lemons, Bloomsgra, Pa." was received at the house. There were six claimants for it. All of them children of Mr. and Mrs. Lemons and the puzzle for whom it was intended was not solved until the package was opened. There was no particular reason for asking, for giving the six children names beginning with "K", but it happened that the first child was named Kenneth and Mrs. Lemons gave all the others names starting with the same letter. The children are Kenneth Lemons, Keith, Karl, Kathryn, Kelma and Klair. The other coincidence is that Mrs. Lemons and her three sisters married men whose same letter with the same letter as the women's first names, Pearl married W. Pitts, Jean married G. G. Jones, Lula married W. A. Lemons and Zella married W. Zeigler.

POLITICIANS GIVE THOUSANDS JOY DURING YULETIDE Second And Third Ward Organizations Of Chicago Have Christmas Festival For Thousands of Children FESTIVITIES HELD IN ARMORY AND SCHOOL Chicago, Ill., Jan 8—(A. N. P.) —The New Year has been given a good start on the Southside, and much of the start is due to the fine holiday spirit manifested by the nation-famed Second and Third Ward organizations. The Second Ward organization held its annual Christmas festival in the Eighth Regiment Armory where more than 5,000 children were present, beautifully illuminated Christmas tree, Santa Claus, practical gifts, fruits and candies. It was a sight one seldom sees, and had been arranged by Commissioner Edward H. Wright. He was splendidly assisted by Alderman Louis B. Anderson and the entire organization. Early in the day, mothers, fathers, older brothers and sisters, friends of the family and other assistants, began reaching the armory; they were good-natured well dressed, full of life, but not boisterous, they filled the lower floors, on the long rectangular landing balcony, "I didn't know there were so many children in the world," said on surprised citizen as he entered the armory about two o'clock. It was, indeed, a marvelous sight. The occasion, though one of merciment and Yuletide joy, lent itself to many sober thoughts, if one could stop looking long enough to think. These were the children of the next generation—Cottero American in the town closed with unquestioned political prestige and power, stepping out of their role as statesmen and playing Santa Claus to the thousands of children on the Southside of Chicago, offsprings of their constituents. Is there any wonder why Chicago has political power? Moreover, it will be only a few years, as time takes its flight these days, until many of those children will be citizens and voters. Are they going to cherish these days? Not much. They are going to cherish them as well as all older people cherish their childhood days. A Few Facts And Figures It is well to note that this big event took place in an army made famous by the Eighth regiment of the Illinois National Guard. This regiment if officered from colonel to corporal by colored Americans, the majority of whom saw service in the World War. The democracy for which they fought nearly began in Chicago than in any other city of America. Chicago has a population of more than 3,000,000 and there are 50 wards; two or the wards, the second and third are under absolute control of men within the group, while it will not be long before the fourth ward will similarly fall in line. In the big metropolitan cities politics is controlled by organization, and there are wards more clever than the intelligent, more clever than the second and third wards. These organizations function with the precision and regularity of an Elgin watch. They are in the hands of master minds, whose opinions and judgement are sought by the wisest white political leaders of Chicago, Illinois and the nation. Alderman R. R. Jackson conducted his Christmas celebration in Wendell Phillips high school when some were enqueered there as at the armory, except they were all different faces. This is Chicago. It is an inspirational object lesson for all America. Be it understood that not all of the white people are out of these sections. Some of the largest business establishments and some of the finest white homes are in these sections, but by efficiency, ability and superior numbers, colored America has inherited the power, and what is most important of all, knows how to use that power for the benefit of all the people—their prosperity and material progress.

EDUCATION IN UNITED STATES ON INCREASE More Real Achievement For 1924 Than For Any Other Year Yet Recorded, Says Commissioner of Education ABOUT 20,700,000 PUPILS AVERAGE ATTENDANCE Washington, D. C., Jan. 9—(A. N. P.)—Unprecedented progress in education was made in the United States during 1924, there being more real achievement than any year yet recorded, according to a statement made today by John T. Tigert, Commissioner of Education of the Department of the Interior. The statement follows: The year 1924 has continued the unprecedented progress of education which this country has witnessed since the World War. If marked more real achievement than any year yet recorded. Accurate statistics on a national scale are, of course, not yet available. The Bureau of Education on the basis of past experience and such data as it has at its disposal can offer estimates which can be relied upon as reasonably accurate. During the year there were enrolled in the public, elementary, and high schools 25,000,000 pupils, of whom about 3,500,000 were in the high schools; there are enrolled in the private and parochial schools about 2,000,000 with 500,000 in the secondary schools; universities and colleges enrolled over 700,000 students; the universities enrolled 600,000 students of whom about 40,000 were students in the secondary stage, business colleges and commercial schools enrolled 350,000 students. The average daily attendance in public, high and elementary schools was in the vicinity of 20,700,000 pupils. These enrollments can best be appreciated when compared with the year 1900, for example.

L. local transfer man and turned and charged with the murder with Gay as his wife and was aw by a party of cedar hunters near Whitehead's Landing the "I didn't kill her. God knows I didn't" was the constant refrain of Robert Gay as he strummed away on the strings of an old guitar that was all the worse for its apparent rough treatment. The alleged murderer was coaxing of his music box, doleful hymns whose strains filled the surrounding atmosphere at police headquarters with a curious air as the detective accused, but Gay remained unmoved and unruffled under the battery of questions hurried at him. The murder-accusations appeared not to have any effect upon him, at all and outer indication pointed to the fact that he was undisturbed. He showed no sign of worry at all, causing a veil of mystery to surround him. Gay calm attitude, peculiar actions and signs of clinging to certain religious principles, lead police officials to believe the man is possessed of a personality bordering a piety complex. He said that he was a religious man, stated that he could not have damn such a crime, but admitted that the abandonment of one wife to take another man's was a deviation from the principles of his creed, but in the meantime, he was justified in doing this. Woman Lured Away Gay lured Mrs. Parker away from her home at Cheapside on the Eastern Shore where she lived with her husband. Jim Parker and brought her to Norfolk after having gone to New York; Gay worked in the Eastern Shore country a few months ago and on the verge of leaving, said he was going, to New York. Parker's wife asked him to let her go with him and he agreed. While in Norfolk, about three months prior to the woman's death, she was in her stairs over Mr. Kelly in Brown street and she was known as Mrs. Gay. It was said that Robert Gay worked at Money Point up until the Saturday night preceding the Sunday the woman was found brutally murdered. For more than a week, Mrs. Parker's body lay in the morgue of Hale's undertaking establishment unidentified while the police were baffled and trying to uncover the mysterious murderer. The body was finally identified by Mr. Kelly, but the police kept the fact secret until Gay could be located. Mr. Kelly lost their home the Sunday of the murder and he did not return within about two weeks after the discovery of the crime. Mr. Kelly said he heard Gay when he came in last Friday night and on leaving he intercepted him in the alley-way, where he made an attempt to arrest him. Gay resisted him, but Mr. Kelly being a powerful man and having a knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, an ancient Japanese art of wrestling which he learned while doing service in the army during the alleged murderer. He took him into his bedroom where Mrs. Kelly was in bed slightly ill. He gave her his revolver to hold Gay in captivity until he summoned the police. While Mr. Kelly was getting in touch with the police, Mrs. Kelly held the gun on Gay and made him play his guitar. He admitted he had heard of the murder and had been living there. When the officers arrived Gay was playing "Neater My God To Thee." He was taken into custody and carried to headquarters where he was subjected to a rigorous examination. He also admitted that he had a wife, Mrs. Eva Gay who lived near Newton. Gibbon not far from the place where the body of the other woman known to him was found.

He said he was moved by the records of his senatorial predecessors such as Summer, Hoar and Crane, who had been mentioned in the book not only over the cause of the race as he had been taught sympathy by his father, a clergyman of New Bedford, Mass., but launch advocate for the race. The Senator then said he would examine into the Legislative situation and present the bill to the Senate, but at the time when he considered there was the best chance to really get results. He learned it much earlier this short session, however, when appropriation bills had the right of way, he would be guided by the chance or getting results. The delegates felt the Senator acted cordial and agreeable, dignified and business-like, a man not given to exaggerated promises, but who knew that he would. At the inspe, Mr. Butler said he would look into the matter of Federal segregation. LYNNHAVEN FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday school opened its regular hour of service on time and was well attended.

S.)—The Missouri Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case of James Crump, Wednesday, sentenced to death in Adriam county for the shooting and killing of Sheriff Chal Blum in Mexico Mo., on February 10, 1924. The Supreme Court ruled that the trial court erred in giving the jury instructions of first degree murder. The opinion, written by Commissioner R. T. Failer, said that instructions of second degree murder and manslaughter should have been given instead. Crump was convicted for shooting and killing the Adrian county sheriff on the railroad tracks near the station in Mexico. The prisoner was intoxicated and was shooting out switch lights, according to the evidence. The sheriff went to investigate and Crump shot and killed him. A jury found Crump guilty of first degree murder in the Adrian county court on April 11, and sentenced him to death. Crump appealed to the Supreme court, his counsel maintaining that he was entitled to second degree murder instructions from the trial judge and that the judge erred in making it first degree murder.

This is the time of year that much resolutioning is being done. Of course most of it is done on New Year's Day, but it usually lasts throughout the entire month of the New Year. It's a hard matter to say whether resolutioning business is a lot of hokum or not. In spite of that, a bunch of folks go in for it. Some go in for it without the least intention of living up to some of the silly codes of living they set up for themselves to live by the balance of the year. Some of the resolutions, and the most of them are no more than a bubble on the ocean. They fade and die with the twinkling of an --- Some folks go as far as to write them down before witnesses and swear to them by a notary public. Even that is weightless in most cases. There are a number of people who are wondering why life seems so hard after one makes a resolution. They seem to be tempted then, more so than at any other time. --- The best way to do this resolutioning business is, to resolve to do more of the things you did last year and do them better or worse, which ever way the situation is presented. By this means you'll come very near doing less, because in a number of cases you'll always be chwarted in doing what you desire most. That's usually the case when you decide to do a thing. Then, there are some who on the verge of making new resolutions look over last year's and resolve to brush up on these a bit. Folks who do that will always be found brushing up every year. There was one guy who had been making New Year's resolutions for about twenty-five years and each one he had filed away in arm reach while at home. Anytime he was tempted, he pulled out his resolutions to see what he had resolved to do and not to do in that particular case. Then he did not always resist the temptation if he found that it was one of the things he had resolved not to do. This year his resolution was, to keep all the resolutions he had made for the last 25 years. He will have a nice time. Morale: It is best not to make any resolutions at all. Meet the issues of life as they come and you'll find that you'll be a much stronger person. After all, resolutions are nothing but things you are going to continue to do and always have done.

BOYER 2836 E. 18th St., Kansas City, Mo. trate, and their offense was threatening constantly, but against the superior passing and shooting of the Seasiders they were able to obtain and keep a lead for only a few seconds. Y. M. C. A. Scores First That lead was gained after a few minutes of play in the first period. King, the flashy forward of the "Y" five, sank a free throw to send the score to 1-0 in favor of his team. But this would never do, thought the Seasiders, so immediately they swept down the floor, and before the "Y" defense could prevent it, McNichols had looped in a field goal to take a one point lead over the "Y". This lead was never cut down by the Seasiders's opponents, for once that offense began gaining power and accuracy, and the Seasiders scored a steadily increasing score. Hamilton Scores Often Following closely on the heels of the shot by McNichols which gave Hampton a one point lead with the score 2-1, Lambricht sank another field goal to send the score to 4-1. This goal by him and the way he performed during the game indicated that his former prowess was again coming to the fore. On a lightning-like pass from Hampton, Nichols scored another field goal; Hargrove followed with a shot; King scored another for throw for the "Y"; McNichols-free throw for the Scasaders, and the score stood 9 to 2 favor: Hampton. At the end of half time, seen by Hargrove, Lambricht, McNichols, and Jones for Hampton and B. Jones for Hargrove. News "Y" had sent the total number of points to 22-6, with Hampton leading. Second Team Starts Coach Williams sent the second team into the game, or at least five of his reserve players, to begin the second half. Again the "Y" scored the first point when Allen made a good free throw. The reserve material for Hampton consisted of Alexander, Lais ain Thorne, Thatcher and Davenport at the beginning of the second half. Just after Allen's free throw, La saink saink a field goal to begin the scoring with the team until until the team again took the floor in the last few minutes, and has run the final score to 39-11. Point by King, Brown and Allen accounted for the "Ys" five point in the last stanza. Reserve Maternal Good Eugene Brown led the reserve players in points scored with five Lasaine and Brown both played with ease and judgment. Face all the reserves, which did well. Did they did well. From Alexander, Brown, thorne, Thatcher, Davenport, Lasaine, A. W. Moore, J. D. Moore, Renfrow, Edward Taylor, Wiggins, Baker, and T. W. Young, the coaches will have little choice in picking men to fit in when the varsity falters. little comedy was played in the game "Sparky." You nip touching a little over 100 pounds went into the contest. Hargrove High Scorer Hargrove continued his piling up of points, leading with 10 at his share during the fracas. McNichols took second place with 1 points; Lambright third with 6 Brown of Hampton and King of the "Y" came next with 5 apiece. The first string players, all members last string player, ship and we brilliant in their touch. Though never actually extended, they were forced to their best work to outplay the well coached "Y" team. Ex-captain Langston of last year's team played a consistent game under the handicap of a leg injury received the day before the game. With Captain Jones as a running mate he smothered most attempts to score made by the opponents. The work of the forwards was fine and at times brilliant. At the present rate McNichols and Hargrove promise to be two of the season's best scores. King was the outstanding player for the "Y", but the work of the other members of the squad especially Brown Walker, Allen was the kind that will funnish any team with team play about David Davenport with Hampton's squad year, and unable to play this year because of having played four years, has done fine work coaching the "Y" squad.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Southern Mentor 1910 J. E. "CHAPPIE" GARDNER ```markdown ``` RACE SCRAPPERS SUFFER SETBACK New York, N. Y., Jan, 8—(A. N. P.)—What is the trouble with our fighters? Are they keeping in tune with the passing of the old year? Or are the white fighters our superiors? If not, what does it mean when four of the leading race boxers were completely out-clased by their white opponents and one, Tiger Flowers rose to be the most talked of boxer in recent years. As a starter the brown-skinned boy from Panama, Jose Lombardo, survived the first bout in the elimination for a successor to Johnny Dundee's crown as the featherweight champion of the world, and then was knocked out by Phil Kаплин, a few weeks later. Next in line came' Kid Norfolk, who was supposed to be the greatest fighter of his weight in the world today until Tom Gibbons stopped him in the former's first mixed bout in Madison Square Garden. Then in the last week of the old year Larry Estridge, another race boxer, who is the sole survivor of his company that went in action with the Germans in France and who was fast gaining attention as an opponent for Harry Greb's middle-weight title, was knocked out by Paul Belenbach, a white boxer, with a hard punch. The sports critics of all the New York papers expressed their comments before the fight and unanimously stated that the Negro would win hands down because he was too fast for the white. But the results were different and so is Estridge. In Philadelphia, Joe Libby, a very promising welterweight, and the hope of the race in this part of the country, who was promised a match with Mickey Walker, the welterweight champion, and the white boy sanctioned it, was badly beaten by Lew Tendler, a crack white fighter. The passing of the last four has left a sad impression on the race, but the rise of Tiger Flowers has cheered their hearts. Not since the days of Joe Walecott, whose fighting ability was the talk of the world a few years back has a man, white or black, caused the white fighters of note to run like the Tiger.

Chicago, Ill., Jan 8—(A. N. P.)—The National Negro League is not dead, and is not going to die," declared Andrew Rube Foster, of this city, the "Grand Old Man" of baseball, in an exclusive interview for the Associated Negro Press. "Reports, counter-reports, and d charges do not disturb me," continued Foster. "I know the facts and have the figures." Then Foster proceed to hand over to the correspondent a group of intimate facts and figures, which he designated as "Donations from Foster for the welfare and operation of the National Negro League," as follows: Toledo and Milwaukee S Players Commission Columbus, Ohio League Expenses A.

Less the rentals in the pars, Foster states that he paid the club owners over one million dollars. To the Associated Negro Press he stated that he is disgusted with continuing to finance weak clubs, that he is going to drop the weaker clubs and get men able financially to help carry the burden. Then, with a twist of his good pipe, and a seriousness of expression, that he often carries when the American Giants have made a rumble in a tight game, Foster advised: "I am merely getting rid of men who are not able to advance: I am weak from such burdens," then the seriousness turned to a smile and a twinkle in his eyes when he said: "That is why the kickers loved their President, when he cut off the finances, he has 'robbed' them." The formal statement of Foster follows: "Many of the papers carried in big headlines the past week that I had resigned. "Foster Resigns Under Fire." This was all news to me. On December 4th, at the opening session before the joint session, of Eastern League, had finished their meeting, I vacated the chair, and asked Dr. Keys to take it, and asked permission to place a motion, the chair granted the request. I placed a motion to have the League appoint a commission to investigate my books, and report to them the exact standing and authority to turn the books, records and what money was due in their hands that I desired to resign. Mr. Blount was there. The motion died as none of the members would second it. I presided at all of the meetings, election of officers came. Dr. Keys moved that Foster be re-elected by acclamation. It was unanimously carried. So the press reports have been circulated, continued as much truth as many of the utterances that are daily being broadcast over the country. Reading Blount's articles on Foster wrecking the league, one can see that Blount obeyed orders. He admits he to have given Foster $1,000, then sign a contract that he would do as Foster instructed. He had to pay a percentage on all money he took in. He had to have with hundreds of things. He had to bring Foster $2,358.00 before he would let him sit in the last meeting. Yes, he did it. Yet he says he resigned last September. Yet in December he still obeyed Foster, the only explanation I can give to such utractions, Blount needed Foster, he signed a contract to do it. I thought he had some intelligence, and could read and write. He said he paid Foster over $1,000 this year. He did, yet Foster put $20,000 into his hands for doing so. You will admit that Foster was cheap, I should have taken it all, the only legitimate way he can get a dollar, was from the source of a brain far superior to his. I did not take a gun and take it. He told you he brought it to me. The real trouble was this— We had previously had so many complaints from players not receiving their money; I would not accept any of the men unless they left what was sufficient to guarantee the men their money. They drew from this fund, and when a club needed money there was RUBE FOSTER none to pay with. This made the players kick on me. I had to try a better way. They told them I took all the money. Many days that financial arm of mine was called on to help every club in the league. I say without fear of contradiction that every club in the league has at times been recipient of financial help from me. Mr. Blount says that Foster has taken $100,000.00 at five per cent the past five years. For me to have received this amount, they would have to have收到 $2,000-000.00. Deducting my $100,000.00 from their two millions, would leave them with $1,000,000. The Negro National League will remain until my death. I gave each man his deposit out of the league. I incorporated the Negro National League merely to preserve it until my death, have not asked any of the clubs to join. I will get the finance when the time comes. Those that should make applications must hew a different line than before. Some will never be admitted. I have every reason to believe house cleaning always improves a thing. I know that the American Giants will live above all that any one thinks to the contrary. With it the League. Advertise In ,Guide And Get Results Will Cater For Parties MRS. BLANCHE McMAKINE.

ALLEN CHRISTIAN ENBEAVOR LEAGUE The Central Committee of the Local League Union met at Monumental A. M. E. Church last Friday night with six leagues represented. Reports from various officers and committees showed the work to be progressing. Revs. J. A. Young, A. J. Nottingham and D. A. Blake, of the advisory committee were present and made timely remarks. The Social Committee of Monumental League served refreshments and the meeting was closed to meet with St. James League, South Norfolk, on the next meeting night. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH Attendance in all services was good. The Sunday school spent its usual hour with many new faces present. At 11:30 a. m., Rev. Walter Burton, of Asbury Park, now a student in Union, spoke on the "Unspeakable Gift." His discourse was helpful to all. Rev. V. B. Clark, of our church, is conducting a revival all this week with a Bible lecture course. Those who heard Sunday morning in Sunday school greatly enjoyed the lecture. B. Y. P. U. met at its usual hour with the president, Miss E. E. Johnson in charge. At night Burton spoke, his subject was, "Driving the Buzzards A-way." Next Sunday, Rev. D. L. Simmons, of Powellsville, N. C., will preach. He will administer the Communion services. MT. LEBANON BAPTIST The members and friends were out in large numbers at all the services. The early morning prayer meeting was good. The Sunday school met at its usual hour with a large number of teachers and scholars present. The officers of the school were installed by the pastor after the report of the secretary. At 11:30 a. m., Rev. M. W. Newsome, the pastor of the Community Baptist Church, of Philadelphia, delivered a great message from Gen. 7:16. The Covenant meeting at 3 p. m., was fine. The B. Y. P. U. is still rendering excellent programs at 5:30 p. m. every Sunday. At night, Rev. Newsome gave us another short message which was very inspiring. The Holy Communion was administered to a large congregation and the hand of fellowship extended to two brothers. Next Sunday morning the pastor preaches a special sermon to the young men on "An Ideal young Man." At night he will deliver another special sermon. The Rev. W. J. Lucas Remembered By Churches Although the third and fourth Sundays in December were bleak and cold the congregations of the Piney Grove Baptist Church, in Princess Anne County, and the Shiloh Baptist Church, Accomac County, held great services on these Sundays, followed by excellent Christmas exercises during the week. A special feature of the Christmas exercises was the very generous remembering of their pastor, the Rev. W. J. Lucas. Piney Grove led off on Christmas day with a substantial purse and a number of other useful presents among which was a copy of Brawley's, "Social History of the Negro", and a copy of DuBois, "The Gift of Black Folk". Shiloh followed on Monday night with an overcoat from the church, a rain coat from the choir, a purse from the usher board and others, shirts, ties, sleeve holders, socks, and copies of Weatherford's "The Negro from Africa to America" and Woodson's "The Negro in our History." In addition to these the pastor was "dined" on both fields at homes too numerous to mention. The Rev. Mr. Lucas has been pastor of these churches not quite one year, coming to them from Rhode Island.

Those installed are as follows: Prof. Owen Wilson, president; James Coleman, vice president; M. Jacex, recording secretary; Roland Alston, financial secretary; Rufus French treasurer; Milton Lassiter, chapain; Clifton Taylor, sergeant-at-arms; Melvin E. Diggs, teacher. By unanimous consent, J. H. Ferebee was elected honorary president of the class. The new president asked the active co-operation of the entire membership and pledged all his energy to the task of making the class a mighty influence for the betterment of the young men of the community. To that end each member present pledged to bring in one more man this Sunday morning and they were urged to point out to these men how they are wasting their lives and hindering the Lord's work by using the precious hours of the Sabbath morning lounging around their homes or on the street corners engaged in idle gossip or glancing through the comic section of the newspaper. They will be told of the advantages that will be theirs by becoming a part and parcel of the Sunday school and Church and how these institutions will set them on a new road of personal power and outlook. THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE MEETING HELO IN BERKLEY THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE MEETING HELO IN BERKLEY The Ministerial Alliance of Norfolk, Portsmouth and vicinity holds its meeting in Berkley, at the St. James Church December 18, 1924, Rev. Blake, pastor. Rev. M. E. Davis, D. D., called the meeting to order. Exercises were opened by Rev. T. D. Lee. "A Charge to Keep I Have," was read and sung. Psalm 100 was read and prayer was offered by Rev. Diamond, after which the moderator caller for the minutes of the previous meeting which were read, corrected and adopted. The various committees were called. The order of the day was: "The Aim and Purpose of the Alliance." This was discussed very amply and scholarly by the Rev. M. E. Davis, D. D. The ground on which the Doctor based his argument gave him a very wide and vivid scope of city and domestic life. The fourth Thursday, January, 1925, the Alliance will begin its business of the New Year. The following visitors were introduced: Revs. Diamond, Smith, Harvey Johnson and Mr. Russell, business manager. The moderator called attention to the close of the Alliance. A hymn was sung and the benediction pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Sedon, after which the Rev. Mr. Blake invited the Alliance to the parsonage, where an appreciative repast, through Mrs. Blake and other loving sisters was provided for the Alliance. In the midst of the repast, the Rev. Dr. Madison, was appointed to speak the sentiment of the Alliance to these worthy sisters for their amiable service rendered. This was suitably done by giving vent to the occasion. The next meeting will take place on the fourth Thursday, January, 1925, Norfolk, Va., at the United Presbyterian Church, Rev. D. F. White, pastor. GRACE P. E. CHURCH GRACE F. E. CHURCH The congregations were unusually large last Sunday at Grace Church, both at the Holy Communion in the morning and at evening service. In the morning, Rev. Harris reviewed the work of the church for the past year—using as the basis for his remarks Psa. 90:12. Two inferences were drawn: "We may look at our past experiences in a carless and easy going way, saying it doesn't make any difference or we may resolve to use our future opportunities to the best advantage possible." At the evening service the vestrymen of the church for the year 1925 were formerly installed and Rev. Harris made an address on "The Government of a Parish." The following vestrymen were installed: Mr. Bart Sims, senior warden; Mr. Robert Mosley, junior warden; Mr. W. T. Mason, registrar; Dr. J. D. Jackson, assistant registrar; Mr. C. G. Owings, treasurer; Mr. H. C. Young, Dr. F. R. Trigg, Mr. Alexander Wright, Dr. Geo. S. Collins. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The services at the Metropolitan Church were inspiring on last Sunday. The Sunday school was out in large numbers. The Athenian class holds the banner. At 11:30 a soul-stirring sermon was delivered by the pastor, text, "For ye have not passed this way before," Jos. 3:1. The V. C. E. League is in a prosperous condition under their leader, Mr. W. H. Mitchell. At 7:30 the pastor again gave us an unplifting sermon from these words: "Let your light so shine." DR. R.H. BOWLING TALKS TO MINISTERS CONFERENCE MON. "We should aim for the achieving of a three-fold result," said Rev. Richard Bowling in his special address to the Baptist Ministers Conference last Monday. He was speaking by vote of the conference on the subject, "The Objective Of The Church In The New Year." This being the first meeting in the New Year there was a great gathering of ministers present and quite a number of visitors. "The church should aim, first, at awakening and confirming faith in spiritual realities," he continued. "God is a living God and he has an active interest in humanity. Changing views as to inspiration, incarnation, the manner of communication of Spirit with matter, make human intellect seem well-nigh omnipotent. And we cease to feel the old urgency to 'fear God', i. e, to take him for granted. God A Reality "But he is still God. No matter what our explanations as to how he operates and no matter how large a place the gifted human instrument may occupy in the announcement of his will, the manifestation of himself, he is still God. John Wesley the founder of one of the world's greatest religious movements had that fact in mind when he declared, God buries his workmen, but carries his work on.' It was Jesus himself who said, following the same line of thought, 'He that believeeth not on me, but on him that sent me.' Call him what you will, ignore him, deny him; but he is still there. He has never been superceded. Creator, Preserver, the first and the last, 'He sits on no precarious throne, nor borrows leave to be', 'From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same.' Church's Business "Finite as we are, we need God. Like ancient navigators faring forth in fear of dropping pell-mell over the edge of the circling scas about a flat earth, but sustained by belief that the earth was round and the scas had no precipice edge; so we look out upon a future dark with uncertain destiny, but, if with a consciousness of the living God, a future whose clouds are lined with silver and clouds darkness we will not fear. Not only is God a reality. He is still speaking, as in the time of Israel, specific commands for the present day. As of old his will is heard through prophetic voices uttering the mysteries revealed to men of spiritual insight. With such a God, incarnation, personality's survival, the enrichment of life, and all other rich spiritual values are made possible. How necessary it is, therefore, that the church seek to make God and his active interest in men a reality. Devout Ministry "A prime factor in reaching the church's three-fold objective is a devout ministry. It is not enough that we be college-trained, studious, good mixers, etc. Only a devout ministry can deliver the message with power. A mere recital of the formulas without a living experience to back them up is but an intellectual discipline. We need a ministry daily growing in grace through Bible study, prayer, and a vital touch with life. "And then there must be a church's objective seriously. In the church's objective seriously. In the program must be a larger place for preaching. I don't mean more preaching services. There is such a thing as commercializing preaching. True exaltation of preaching is the making of the sermon an expression of the will of God, so that people come to get guidance and help rather than to be made to noisily enjoy." DETHANY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Bethany Presbyterian Church, Princess Anne Road and Church street, had a high time on Sunday. The new pastor, the Rev. W. Scott Miller, former pastor of the First Church, of Kings Mountain, N. C., filled the pulpit morning and night. At 11 a. m, his subject was, "Inherit the Heavenly Inheritance," and at 7:30 p. m, his subject was, "Did the Disciples understand the Ministry of Christ. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH The night services were inspirational. Rev. Bowling preached from Ex. 6:13, subject: "Factors in Racial Deliverance." This too, proved to be a wonderful message, for when he extended the appeal, the Holy Spirit manifested itself in Pentecostal fashion, for three persons arose and boldly declared that they had accepted Christ as their personal Saviour and wanted to be baptized; and another one united with us on Christian experience. Thus the day closed with eight additions, good collections, and a number of visitors expressing themselves as having enjoyed the HOMELIKE CHURCH. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday school exercises were greatly enjoyed by the parents and friends, as well by the children themselves. Every school- NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Church Presents Pastor With Fine Automobile 1925 Buick Sedan, a Christmas Present To Dr. O. J. Allen In Appreciation of His Services.

Harris was asked to present the car to the pastor. Mr. Harris, in a jubilant spirit, presented the keys to the pastor, Dr. O. J. Allen, who in his humble and unassuming way thanked the officers and members for this sundid gift. Dr. Allen said in part, "I am now pasing thru one of the happest moments of my life. To be remembered in this way and to sate the most beautiful spirit on the part of you to do something for me, to add comfort to my stammer among you as pastor, causes a throat to choke and words to me to express the deep emotions my heart." Looking down up on his mother, Mrs. Ellen Allen-Wlians in the pew, he said, "I knot your heart beats with joy as you see how this wonderful church trying to take care of your be who has striven to carry out the noble principles taught at your knee. Further dear members pledge you I shall use this car the glory of God, and to the administration of the necessities the saints of this household faith."

Negro History Unique Says Young Lawyer In New Year's Oration Properly Given In All Its Phases, the Narrative Would Teem With Incidents and Achievements Almost Romantic The following oration was delivered by Attorney David H. Edwards at the Sixty-second Emancipation celebration held under the auspices of the Norfolk Emancipation Association at the First Baptist Church, January 19. It especially interesting to note the occasion of the American Negro; the history of a race struggle amid environments a not against difficulties such as no other race in all history has had to meet. It is generally agreed that the Negro in America introduced a problem without parallel. His history is unique. Properly in all phases, the previous would teach with incidents and achievements almost romantic. their efforts for book-learning They did not know how to make contracts or agreements for wages consequently, they worked the first year for a hare subsistence; with a few exceptions their first posses were bought during the second year, and consisted of oxen, mules and farming implements.

Society among the white people for the time was thrown in to almost rhythmic condition, but it was for the moment only. I understood how to lead a route to gather the demobilised fragments. But how was it with the Negro. Had he ever any conception of society, of voluntary order? "Had one-tenth of one per cent of them ever looked into a book or save a dollar? Their ignorance was equaled only by their poverty. Improvident and totally helpless, the freedman was well night friendless. Hindered rather than helped, by those whom he knew best; confused by his new surroundings and with his intellectual and moral abilities, subjects of misunderstanding and doubt on the part of his friends, the Negro of 1850 was set forth in 1858 to develop character, to get education and money, and to provide himself wordworth and the freedom which was frustured upon him. In short, he was o maintain himself as a freedman and citizen in the midst of his old masters, who had enjoyed centuries of civilization. That it was a great task all will acknowledge, that under these environments it was a feat fraught with much louid, few will deny. But while this condition was pitable, it was not hopeless. Under slavery, he though a simple child of the shovel and hoe, had developed a faith in God which was abiding, and had obtained a working knowledge, the English tongue. These were his sole stock in trade. These were their very valuable. To understand them, the difficulties which he overcome, and to estimate the progress which he has made in the past sixty odd years, his condition at emancipation must be steadily in mind. It is difficult to realize the utter loverty and "dishcarting ignorance which enveloped the colored people at the beginning of the period under discussion. They were the amount of food, clothing, or shelter; a vast majority without the least conception of school or home. Their exertions to obtain food, clothing and shelter, certainly greatly retarded Norfolk Journal and Guide Press at the joint thanksgiving cele- and Courts of Calanthe of Norfolk, pity, Sunday, January 11, at the City is reputed to be an orator of great Story Unique For Lawyer In Car's Oration Its Phases, the Nar- With Incidents and st.Romantic their efforts for book-learning.

They have nine lives like a cat, for this season, therefore, you may expect for many a year to find those who are still living in the dead past, and who feel it their duty to champion the old order of things, and to throw stumbling blocks. I entertain an illwill towards this class of persons. I have for them no word of censure or reproach. I give them credit for ever being sincerer; but they are mistaken. They are it war with the spirit of the age and the sermon on the mount. Nor are they ever consistent. They advocate the theory of repression. They say the Negro must be kept down for the sake of New York in the inferior race fundamentally inferior, created so by Almighty God. Why, in the name of righteous heaven should it be necessary to keep down a race that is naturally inferior? Why, should there be any fear of it ever becoming dominant? There is something crooked in this philosophy. So say the least, there is something in it exceedingly absurd. Nevertheless it is this kind of philanthropy that is sending armies from our first class around us, which we have honestly paid our money. It is this kind of philosophy that is shutting everywhere in our faces, the doors of Public Accommodation. It is this false philosophy, I say, by which it is made to appear that every advancement of the Negro is a menace to the interest of the white man, and it is this sort of false and prejudice philosophy that will ever keep alive in the south race antagonism, and who is this philosophy are not only inconsistent, but incorrect, and increasingly narrow in their views as to the future of our people. If there is any one thing that will clog the wheels of your material progress, it is the fact that some of you are trying to overreach yourselves, do not become dazzled at the splendor and magnificence of those who had hundreds of years to make this country what it is today. No man is a success who has not a fixed object as a sign post, an aim in life to attain unto. A man should get that kind and that amount of education that will best fit him for the performance and the attainment of his object in life.

A joint thanksgiving celebration will be held in the City Armory, Brewer street, this Sunday, January 11, 3 p. m., by the Knights of Pythians and Courts of Calanthe of Virginia. The celebration will be held in commemoration of the re-establishment of the order in the state upon a firm basis after it has been turned over to its own executives from the hands of the receivers, after more than two years of lega complications. The order was turned back to its duly constituted officers, November 1924 showing assets of about $86,000. The celebration is of great import to the Pythians and Calanthes and many prominent members of the order from throughout the State and Nation are expected to be in attendance. The principal address of the occasion is to be made by Mr. W. F. B. Crowell of Ronoke, grand chancellor of the order, who will be introduced by Attorney W. H. C. Brown, who played an important part in the rehabilitation of the organization. Mrs. Fannie Ashe of Portsmouth head of the Calanthe branch of the order and prominently known through the State is also on the program for an address while Mr. Eugene West, of Norfolk, grand keeper of records and seal, will read the proclamation. After 35 years of activities in the State, seemingly all was lost to the order. A number of men of Tidewater Virginia, seeing the condition, rallied the forces and with grit and determination brought success out of seeming defeat. The fight was launched by Atty, W. H. C. Brown, Newport News, F. E. Puryear, Eugene West, J. J. Crocker, J. H. Dnger, G. W. Nicholson, Wm. H. Thoroughgood, Norfolk; Moses Brown, Joseph Hall and Wm. M. Reid, Portsmouth. Atty. Wm. M. Reid was placed in command at Petersburg, Va., June 1923, after a memorable fight between Tidewater Virginia and the Southwest. Mr. Reid led successfully until he died, when Sir W. B. F. Crowell of Ronnoke succeeded him and pledged to carry out the policies as laid down for a sound business administration. The organization is now ready to be vaulted upon a sound business basis with sound policies, offered by men who have pledged themselves to live up to their obligations. Much credit is due the Supreme Lodge through its Supreme Chancellor Green for its cooperation in bringing about the speedy discharge of the receivership.

It takes labor to become a great man, just as it takes centuries to become a great nation. Great men are not fashioned in Heaven and thrown from the hand of the Almighty to become potentates on earth, nor are they, in some I admit, the there is, in some of this country, a prejudice against you on account of your color and former condition. In my opinion the best way to overcome this is to show your capability by doing every good thing that your fellow-citizen does and do it just as well or better. If your fellow-citizens scorn you, show him that you are too high-bred, too noble-hearted to take notice of it; and the first opportunity you have, do him a favor and I warrant you that he will feel ashamed and never will he make an exhibition of his prejudice. The future is yours, and you have it in which to rise to the heights, or to descent to the depths. I believe that the future of the Negro race is to be found in the segment of that race providentially lodged on this soil. Say what we may say about this or that, that most progressive Negro to be found on the face of the globe. All this is true for the reason that she is giving us the largest all-round opportunities, the highest civic Mammoth Colored Enterprises With Homes In Durham Looking Forward To Year of Prosperity. Durham, N. C., Jan. 9—In a meeting Friday night January 3, in the North Carolina Mutual Building, the heads of leading Negro business institutions in this city launched their 1925 campaign. Mr. C. C. Spaulding, well-known financial leader of his race, was the "key-noter" and he sounded the note of progress in what was said to have been one of the most forward looking addresses of his career. Then followed a reorganization of the Durham branch of the National Negro Business League, with George W. Cox and R. McCants Andrews, president and secretary, respectively. This organization will furnish the stimulus and center of contact for all this organizations, initiate civic and social progress well, especially in advertising "Bull City" to the American Negro. Representatives of business concerns who were heard included W. Gomez, secretary-manager of the Bankers Fire Insurance Company and the National Negro Finance Corporation; M. McCoy, president of the Southern Fire Insurance Co, and Supreme Grand Scribe of the Royal Knights of King David; Dr. Clyde Donnell, medical director of the North Carolina Mutual; H. M.

God has given us minds to think, hides to work, and heartily powers let us subject these to a severe discipline in talking with hone to the future, work out a noble destiny for ourselves and our children. As one, I feel grateful for many things that have been done for us within the last sixty old years. I am thankful for President Lincoln's manumitting Proclamation, for its ratification by congress, for the thirteenth, fourteenth and tenth amendments which were placed here by the American people for the benefit of our race. I am thankful to our generous hearted friends of the North who have given voluntarily millions upon millions to aid in education. I am thankful to our friends of the South, and especially the Tidewater section, for their kind and considerate manner in which they have taxed themselves in building and sustaining schools for our enlightenment and intellectual, and moral elevation, but if this country is to be our home the Negro must be a self controlling factor of the body politic or collective life of the nation. In other words, must he full-fledged men and women, other than we will not be worth existence here. All our people ask is that justice he done, that before the law the same evidence be required to convict a Negro that is required to convict any other man, and that the same punishment he meted out to the one as to the other. There are many and almost ancient ties that bind us to the United States. There are numerous reasons why he should feel as much as the American soil as any other man or woman of any other nation that treads our shores. Among America's earliest explorers and discoverers, some of the boldest, and bravest and most successful of our citizens as early as 1529, were wony haired Negroes, from then until now, whether he is happy and prosperous in his Southland, or fighting the battles of the Nation, the Negro great and blood identified himself with every phase and fiber of American his The pathway of the race has not been strewn with flowers, but it has gradually led towards the light, and today the Negro stands upon higher ground, where the CARELESSNESS DESTROYS HUMANITY AND INDUSTRY SAFETY FIRST INSPIRES INDUSTRY AND PRESERVES HUMANITY EDGAR THAMSON WORKS LEON WADDY AGE 18 SENIOR B BRADDOCK HIGH SCHOOL BRADDOCK.

Pittsburgh, Pa.—A Calendar for 1925 just put out by the Carnegie Steel Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. is one of the broadcast and most original ideas in the broadcasting of safety toward which this company's extensive work along this line has been turned. It is purely a safety calendar, the result of work by company's General Safety Committee, and each of the illustrations on twelve pages of the calendar carries a lesson in safety, conceived and executed by a school pupil in towns or cities where the company maintains a steel plant. ners, but rather was guided by the idea portrayed and that representing each community, and represent each poster displayed carry an individual idea. The front cover of the calendar done in black and soft grey tones carries an illustration of the Company's Safety Trophy for 1925 with a story of the composition. It was conceived and executed by Guisseppe Moretti of Pittsburgh. This is the fourth year that a safety trophy of this nature has been put into competition among this company's plants. It is of bronze twenty-two inches high, and is a The idea first took form early in 1923 when the safety committee arranged a Safety Poster Contest in the public and parochial schools of the mill communities. Three cash prizes were awarded in each community, as well as a number of special cash prizes and several honorable mentions. Approximately 7,500 posters were submitted by the school pupils and these were judged by a committee individual to each town or community, usually being composed of an Art Teacher or Artist, the General Superintendent of the plant, and a school principal or Supervisor. The general class of work of the young people was of such a high grade, and a demonstration of the excellent work of the American Public School System, the ideas of what safety meant being so well illustrated, that it was decided to present this excellent work to the public in the form of a calendar, and the first attempt along this line was the one for 1924. So enthusiastically was this received, especially by the teachers organizations throughout the country that it was decided early in the year to repeat the contest and to present another calendar, which has just been issued. Many Contested For Prize In this last poster contest about 7,600 posters were submitted from which were selected, by the General Safety Committee, one for each month of the year, for the calendar. Each of these pages bears an exact reproduction of the poster drawn by the school pupil, and selected for this purpose. Each plant too is represented on one of the pages. Every line of the child's work is reproduced and every color maintained by a four color process of the printer's art. A portrait of each child appears at the side of the poster with his or her name, age, grade, school and home community, thereby carrying a brief sketch of the child artist.

Waddy Among the twelve calendar posters there is one by a colored boy. This boy, Leon M. Waddy is a native of Pennsylvania. He lives in Rankin, Pa., where he was born 18 years ago. His father and mother are both natives of Virginia but have lived in Rankin for more than thirty years. The father, Richard M, Waddy came from Louisa Va., determined to earn some of the big money that was being made in this section at the time. He also had in mind that he was going to marry the sweetheart that she had left behind him. As soon as he had worked several years he returned to Virginia and married his present wife Lucy. At the time Mr. Waddy was employed at the Carrie Furnaces of the Carnegie Steel Company, at Rankin, Pa. Soon after his marriage he was placed on the police force of Rankin where he has served for the last twenty years. He has served well for today he is a Lieutenant and is respected as one of the best men on the force. In the Waddy family there are seven living children; Della, aged 20, secretary to the principal of the Rankin Public School, Leon, aged 18, senior in the Braddock High School, Mario, aged 16, and Louise aged 15, both in the Braddock High School, Herbert, aged 13, Kenneth, aged 11, and Ethel aged 9, all attending the Graded School in Rankin. The chief ambition of Mr. Waddy and his wife is to give their children a good education.

Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 6.—(A. N. P.) The War Department has announced that medals for unusual ability in military service be made and awarded to four men, one of them a commissioned officer, Colonel Claud H. Miller, now of the Army War College at Washington, and the other three retired enlisted men to receive this honor are Sergeant Edward H. Monroe, retired; Sergeant Gus J. Williams, retired; Private Samuel Copeland, retired. These three men belonged to Company A of the 24th United States Infantry. Sergeant Edward M. Monroe, retired, is a veteran of the Philadelphia, in an army he was born. He listened in the U. S. Army from this city and was at once assigned to the 24th Infantry, with which arm of the service he has been connected for twenty-three years. He has followed that regiment with its assignment in Mexico and the Philippine Islands. The 24th Infantry gained distinction for meritorious service in action and was at one time styled the best disciplined infantry regiment in the Army. The three colored men received citations for gallantry in action, and distinguished service crosses have been ordered made by the Army for the Sept. Monroe has an excellent record, all of his discharges bearing the following notation, "No objection to further enlistment." He receives the distinguished service cross for extraordinary heroism in action against the Filipino Insurgents at Naguillan, Luzon Philippine Islands, December 7, 1899. On the occasion in question Sept. Monroe, then a private, Granite-red and swam the Rio Grande and sent an army musketry fire from the trenches of the enemy, this, with other members of the company and regiment, causing the Filipinos to retreat in disorder. Other expeditions participated in by Sct. Monroe are the punitive expedition in Mexico with Gen. Pershing, and in the Fostino expedition in the Island of Lutze Philippine Islands, December 1908. He was with Captain Batchlor and the lost battalion of the 24th Infantry in pursuit of Aguinaldo, the famous Filipino chief. from most of the boys who live in the neighborhood. He is not interested in athletics of any kind so far is taking part in them himself, but is a loyal rooter at all of the games for his school teams. As he himself says he does not have time to play. From early childhood he has been anxious to become a physician. His parents have encouraged him in this ambition, but have told him that he must earn his way through. Therefore, in the summer months Leon works in the mills—the money he thus earns is laid aside to pay his way thru college. In his classroom he is only an average student. However, there is one subject in which he excels. From the time he entered public school until the present time he has been interested in drawing. His father says that since he first could hold a pencil he has been copying or tracing pictures from books and magazines. Appointed Art Editor In the Rankin graded school from which he graduated in 1921 his marks in drawing always were exceptionally good. In his second year in High School he contributed several drawings to the Red and White, the school magazine. In his Junior year he received the highest honor that the school bestows in art when he was appointed by the faculty as one of the two art alumni of the Red and White. Early in 1924 when the Poster Contest was started at the High School, Waddy decided to enter it. He with the other art editor, Kezan, contributed their drawings. The picture of Kezan's won the prize for the district and that of Waddy's was second. When the selection for the calendar was made however, the drawing of Waddy's was selected. Leon is very proud of his work and says that no matter what he takes up in life, he will always have his art as his hobby. ELIZABETH CITY HEARS ADDRESS BY SPAULDING Editor's Note—The following address was read in Mr. Spaulding's absence by Mr. Curley, a member of Mr. Spaulding's staff, Mr. Spaulding being unavoidably detained in Durham. Elizabeth City, N. C.—The sixty-second celebration of the signing of the Proclamation of Emancipation by Abraham Lincoln, wasittingly observed here. One of the finest features of the occasion was the address prepared by Mr. C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Co. His speech follows: "For years we have celebrated the issuing of the Proclamation of Emancipation. I have often wondered if we have been just blind participants in an annual ceremony or moving, pulsing, throbbing personalities fully conscious of the meaning of emancipation. To emancipate means to liberate or to set free, as from slavery. Emancipation means liberation from bondage, dependence and oppression. Slavery is a many-headed monster. Any consideration of emancipation from slavery, then, requires discussion from several points of view. "Whenever you would recall the emancipation address of 1925 recall these three words: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW." "Yesterday we were chattel, ordinary property, just a common possession like cattle, bartered at will on the auction block and knocked down to the highest bidder at the count of three. "We had nothing to do but serve our master's household—cook the food, launder the clothes, clean the house, nurse the children, fell the trees, till the farms and plantations. In fact we did everything in slave-hand 'yesterday' except eat for our masters and spend their money. We certainly earned it for them. "There was a veritable army of us too. Statistics say: In 1790 there were 750,000 of us in U. S.; while in 1860 there were 4,500,000 of us; only about 500,000 of whom were free. Yesterday we were illiterate and ignorant. Ninety per cent of the Negroes were illiterate in 1863. There were just 699 colored teachers in 1867. In 1866 only 15 colleges in the entire country admitted Negroes. There was practically no school property and only $700,000 was spent for the education of Negroes, $80,000 of which was contributed by the Negroes themselves. Yesterday wt were religious. Even before emancipation this phase of the life of the Negro received an attention out of all proportion to what was done for the race along other lines, so that it is a matter of record that there were more than 300,000 Negro communicants in the white churches of the South, before emancipation gave them the opportunity to establish their own churches. Even before this time churches had already been established by free Negroes for their own religious development. In 1866 there were 700 Negro churches with 600,000 communicants and church property valued at $1,500,000. Yesterday we knew absolutely nothing about business. In 1860 it was not in the imagination of the most optimistic that Negroes would be succeeding in business undertakings. As late as 1828 the legislature of Virginia, asked to grant a charter for a Negro bank, at first treated the request as a joke. No one felt that a Negro could be an inventor. In 1866 it was unlawful to issue a patent to a slave. At the close of the Civil War the Negroes started on their career as farmers without land or experience as farm owners or tenants. None of them became farm owners by inheritance, nor did any of them inherit money with which to purchase land. At a half dozen men fell in the mire. One managed to get out. The others asked him, "How did you do it?" "I climbed out." We belong to a climbing race. Let us continue to climb and as, we ascend, reach down a helping hand to our less fortunate brother. Yesterday we were loyal. The most rabid Negro hater will testify to the absolute loyalty of the slave to the master's household even at a time when there might have been some excuse for faltering. When the cause of the South was at its lowest cbb during the Civil War and the freedom of the slave was virtually assured history records that the lives and honor of the hopeless families of the bourbon South were kept sacred and inviolate. Negroes have ever been more loyal to others than to themselves. I beseech you to consider the importance of cooperation among our group. If you have followed closely as I have recalled the happenings of Yesterday—if you have gone back with me this day 62 years ago you can summarize it all in these few words. The Negro started with nothing but an abiding faith in Jesus Christ an abiding faith in Jesus loyalty to his fellowman. If he but maintains that attitude toward life he will certainly be rewarded. As the sun of Yesterday sank slowly in the distant west, the curtains were drawn on that humiliating spectacle of a nation, noble and great, some of whose citizens were yet un-Christian enough to hold in bondage a group of people created, like themselves, in the image of Jesus Christ; and, at dawn, there was spread abroad over the land, a panorama, both gorgeous and beautiful. The picture was being portrayed with the deftness and touch of that master artist, that prince of men, the immortal, the beloved Abraham Lincoln. I do not contend that the Civil War was fought to free the slave in his executive capacity, Mr. Lincoln said to Horace Greely: "My paramount object is to save the Union and not either to save on destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would do that." On the other hand, Mr. Lincoln's personal, deep-rooted detestation of the system of domestic servitude was no secret to anyone; but his reverence for the law, his regard for vested interests and his anxiety to do nothing that should alienate any considerable body of the supporters of the government had thus far induced him to pursue the middle course between the two extremes. On September 22, 1862. Mr. Lincoln issued his preliminary proclamation. On December 1 he urged Congress to supplement what had been done with constitutional action, concluding with this impassioned appeal: "Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another if us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or in dishonor to the latest generation. We—even we here—hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose, the last, best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God forever bless." ·On January 1, 1863, Mr. Lincoln issued the final proclamation, a part of which follows: "I do order and declare, that all persons held as slaves within said designated states and parts of states are, and henceforward shall be, free; and that the executive government of the United States, including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said persons." Urged later on to withdraw his proclamation, he declared: "While I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to retreat or modify the emancipation proclamation; nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation or by any of the acts of congress. If the people should, by whatever mode or means, make it an executive duty to re-capslave such persons, another, and not I, must be their instrument to perform it." Such a man was Abraham Lincoln. Today, 62 years afterward, we gather to commemorate the issuing of the proclamation of emancipation. We generally call it a celebration. If it be, it is a sacred celebration; our real mission is to give thanks to Almighty God for the course of events as di- (Continued on Page Eleven). ELIZABETH CITY Elizabeth City, N.

NEGRO HISTORY UNIQUE SAYS YOUNG LAWYER IN NEW YEAR'S ORATION SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925 (Continued from Page 7) light of liberty shines upon him more steadily. Standing here, new cities new responsibilities, await us. In this broader day the demand is for more men and women of thought and action. The Negro craves not domination, we simply ask for equalization of rights and privileges, such as belong to American citizens under the fundamental law of the land. As American citizens we can not ask less, nor be contented with less. We must not become discouraged even if the way at times does seem dark and desolate. We must maintain faith in ourselves, faith in our fellow citizens and faith in our country. No race ever get upon its feet, without struggle, trial and discouragement. Every race and individual that has succeeded had to pay the price that nature demands from all. No one can get something for nothing. Every member of the race who succeeded in business; however simple and humble that business may be, will succeed because he has learned the important lesson of cleanliness, promptness, system, honesty, and progressiveness. Every person who does this is not only succeeding for himself, but is smoothing the path for the generations that are to follow. And let me repeat here, do not believe that any one can long succeed unless he or she does observe the principles which I have enumerated. It matters not under what conditions we may find that our work is to be done, we only need to keep in mind the truth that the law which recognizes and rewards men it, no matter under what skil found, is universal and eternal and can no more be nullified than the life giving influence of the daily sun can be destroyed. Let each of us strive to become indispensable men and women in our communities by producing something that is necessary, because when an individual produces what his community or the world needs or wants, whether it be a product of the hand, head, or heart, the world does not stop to inquire what is the color of the skin of the producer. Thus the race problem will work itself out in proportion as we by reason of our skill, intelligence, and character can produce something that our fellow-citizen wants or respects. One race respects another in proportion as it contributes to the markets of the world. I am glad to say, that by the way of the shop, the field, the skilled hand, habits of thrift and economy, by way of industrial school and college, we are coming we are crawling up, working up yea, bursting up, often through oppression, unjust discrimination and prejudice, but through then all we are coming up and with proper habits, intelligence and property, there is no power on earth that can permanently stay our progress. During the next half century we must continue prising through the severe American crucible. We must be tested in our patience, our forbearance, our perseverance, our ability to be great and yet small, learned and yet simple, high and yet the servant of all, this—this is the key to that is best in the life of our Republic. If we possess this we can never be defeated in our purpose to become good and useful citizens ever endowing to perpetuate those high ideals for which our foefathers lived, bleed and died Washington, N.

What have ‘we to offer in thanksgiving for the opportunities that we have en- joyed? Yesterday ve were 4,090,000 slaves; today we are 12,000,000 citizens by the laws ‘of the and, We are not recognized | human beings everywhere yet and in some sections we do not enjoy all the rights and priv- | ileges of citizenship but that will come, Yesterday’ we were tbondsmen without a semblance of home life ‘and its culture, After emaneipa- tion we had to build our home life from the bottom up. Dr. Maton of Tuskegee says: “The struggle from the one-room leg eabin—the heritage from slavery by way of “the quarters".-to the home of re- ‘sheeted privzey, of pure morals, of high ideals, ennobling friendships and lofty aspirations, has been both long and hard, how hard is known only to a few outside of the race; but within the race it is a story full of pain and oftimes of bitterness. But the race has ar- rived in this as in other things. Tt is impossible to tell this story by the printed page; but no man can say that he knows the race until he has been within the con- fines of such a home among this people and breathed its atmos. pheve and felt its impulses. Here it is that the Negro has learned to be proud of himself and of his race; here his friends must see him before they can understand him.” 1 “Yesterday we were illiterate. Today 80 per cent of us are” lit- erate. We have 500 colleges and normal schools. There are 2,000,- 000 of our children in» public schools, with 43,000 Negro teach- wi ppg There's oth Dol WOMEN Se Graee Re py i Riggenr eer ge prensa at $30,000,000 while * $32,000,000 i been cxpended for our’ educa tion. It is especially noteworthy jthat Negroes have raised $2,000, 000 for their own education, Negro teachers are withal enthusiastic, resourceful “and, in’ most cases, uncomplaining. ‘They are in many ways the most hopeful asset of our race. It has been said that they stand, both for the Negro and the white man, between the South and all the menace and danger from ignorance, inea- pacity and-shiftlessness, A most significant thing is the progressive assumption of the re- sponsibility for Negro education by the several states. A fact of which we can boast is that our State is attracting national atten- tion because of its program for the education of Negroes. “With- in the past four years North Caro- lina has appropriated $2,200,000 for its higher institutions of learn- ing for Negroes just for buildings, improvements and maintenance. A building program of nearly a mil- Vion dollars for a two year period is now being completed.’ (Your ‘own schuol), The" salaries of Negro teachers 1921-23 was in excess of $7,000,00f New school buildings in cities, towns and rural districts built dur- ing that Lime exceeded $5,000,000. In fact approximately $15,000,000 of public funds have been spent in the Negro schools of North Carolina during the last four years, This year will doubtless bring us a teachers college for Ne- toes maintained by the state. Much aid has: been given our edueation by prominent philan- thropists, Nearly 1,000 schools have been erected thru the Ros- ‘enwald Fund. Contributions from ‘that fund are supplemented by con tributions from the particular state from the white friends of the Ne- rroes, Other well-known donors are tho Jeanes Fund, Phelps- Stokes Fund, General Education Board. Just think—Yesterday, we were illiterate, but thanks to our Saporintendent of Education and Director ef Negro education for North Carolina, we are climbing. ‘Thore is one trait of Yesterday to which we happily cling. We ave yet religious. Our religious development has been most marve- lous, Negzo life is still largely dominated by the Church, which, especially in the early years fol- lowing emancipation, Was the chief organization for social progress within the race. We have 43,000 churches, . 4,800,000 communicants) 46,- 000 Sunday schools; 2,250,000 pupils in Sunday sehool and Church property valued at $90,000,000, » Negro churches are reported to be contributing $100,000 annually to foreign ynissionary work, supporting more than 300 missionazies and 200. churches in these ficlds. Quietly, but effectively, the Negro eburch has proved itseif not only an instrument of progress within the race, ‘but one of the surest conserva tors of all that makes for peace and soud-will between the inces. Yesterday we knew nothing of business, ‘Today we are conduct ing 65,000 businesses; operating 7,000,000 farms and owning: 660,- 000 homes.

We judge as much by the reports in race newspapers. It may be that there is no increase of lawbreaking but that we have more publicity than formerly of lawlessness. Anyway, the criminal tendencies among us are not a bit encouraging. Misfortune has overtaken another one of the distinguished persons responsible for the opening of the tomb of King Tut-Ank-Amen, at Luxor, in Egypt. But Howard Carter, the original explorer with Lord Carnovan, who died the death, continues the work and hopes to make a complete exposure of the contents of the tomb.

Ah-nahhe-nah-nee (page the name), a Kickapoo Indian, ninety years old, living at McCloud, Dakota, announces that he wants a wife and that she must be "19 years old and a flapper." The old Indian apparently needs a guardian, but his sort is not confined to the Red Man; some of them are to be found among the White, the Brown and the Black races. What any man wants with a flapper or a wife passes understanding. It is a far cry to the next Presidential election and the selection of the next candidate for President by the Republican party would appear really premature. Leslie M. Shaw, who was Secretary of the Treasury under President Roosevelt, in an address before the State Bar Association of Nebraska placed President Coolidge in nomination to succeed himself four years hence. He claims that it would not be a third term for President Coolidge as he came to the presidency through the death of President Harding and not by election.

Shaw, who was Secretary of the Treasury under President Roosevelt, in an address before the State Bar Association of Nebraska placed President Coolidge in nomination to succeed himself four years hence. He claims that it would not be a third term for President Coolidge as he came to the Presidency through the death of President Harding and not by election. Much water will go over the dam before the next Presidential election gets here. The Great God Hypocrisy All true Americans find it disgusting to head of the recent case, in New York in which a young Southern white aristocrat went to jail for attacking a young white girl. The jail sentence itself was all right but the preliminary activities were offensive. In admiral and a general of the United States army and navy tried to interfere with the course of justice, begging the judge to act the offender off because of his youth and social connections. It looks as if this country were getting more hypocritical every day.

Americans call rape a horrible crime, they lynch and burn men who are merely accused of it; yet high government officials seek to condone it when committed by a Southern aristocrat. If the offender had been a Negro, or even a poor white man, a Jew, a Chinaman or an Italian, the public would have called for swift, sure, and condign punishment, and would have boasted to the world about the way America protects womanhood.

Dr. Eliot's Social Plaster President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard noted a controversy some days ago with his views on the intermarriage of races. He speaking not especially of black and white but particularly of Jew and Gentile, many two distinct racial stocks. He said like should marry like, that the true living pot of America should be one in which the racial stocks should keep their rare ethnical identities but should be held in the matters of language, customs, biotism, etc. All that is very easy to talk about but also easy to accomplish. Mental, linguistic and patriotic fusion is bound to result in physical fusion, and vice versa. Moreover, the racial stocks remain distinct their forms, viewpoints and loyalties will remain distinct, if not irreconcilable. You bring people together while keeping apart nor keep them apart while bring-them together. Twenty years ago Dr. Eliot was a much opponent of what he called the stratification of society. Now, apparently, he reversed himself. He used to say that unity to be kept alive must be kept fluid. He wants it rigidly congealed and fosse. His attitude reminds us of the story of two Irish laborers who were looking at brick wall. Said Pat, "Say, Mike, what them bricks together?" "Why, ye any," said Mike, "the plaster, of course." Said Pat, "can't ye see it's the plaster keepin' em apart?" Dr. Eliot evily wants some kind of social plaster to will hold people together and yet them apart. Corbett, A Real Champion.

The present officers of The race as a whole will rejoice with the more than eight thousand Pythians and four thousand Calanthes of the State in the rehabilitation of their order which, for two years, until November 1924, had been in the hands of receivers. The present officers of Norfolk Journal and Guide the order have a right to feel proud and need to be congratulated on the manner in which they came to its rescue and successfully extricated it from the serious difficulties in which it had become involved. Of course their purpose could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the entire membership of the order in the State, but, it has taken sterling leadership to corral the undivided support of all the lodges of the State. It has been a hard fight and it has meant great sacrifice to such men as Wm. M. Reid, prominent attorney, now deceased, W. H. C. Brown, W. B. F. Crowell, now grand chancellor, F. E. Puryear, grand vice chancellor, Eugene West, grand keeper of records and seal and such women as Mrs. Roena White, grand worthy counsellor and Mrs. Fannie Ashe, grand worthy register of deeds of the Order of Calanthe. Their work on behalf of the order has been a tribute to their leadership, devotion to its cause, their honesty of purpose and their desire to serve the race. In saving the order they have rendered the race a real service for many thousands of dollars have been invested in the organization and through it much valuable property had been accumulated. Today with the organization's solvency restored it has in assets more than $200,000, a good nucleus and a solid foundation upon which to build. With the proper sort of management, with the fine type of men and women the order now has behind it, there is every reason to believe that its future success is assured. Spirit of the Press Lynching and Enlightenment From the Virginian-Pilot. Dr. Moton, of Tuskegee, is in the prints with his annual report on lynching. The lynching curve continues its decline. Eventually, we shall have a year in which America will report no lynchings at all. That will be a time for national thanksgiving. Eventually, we shall have a whole decade free of lynchings. Then will be the time for celebrating a national Te Deum. America will then have shaken off the last vestige of racial savagery.

Then will be the time for celebrating a national Te Deum. America will then have shaken off the last vestige of racial savagery. In the meantime there is work for individuals and agencies concerned that dwelling together of two races in America shall work out to peace, understanding and mutual respect, instead of to friction and conflict. Certain influences are at work to produce unrest. Some of them are broadly sketched by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in an article in the October American Mercury. This able student of the American race question is troubled by misgivings. How far they are real and how far fancied, is for time alone to tell. But time has a way of devising solutions for problems that earlier generations regard as insoluble. That is likely to happen in the case of the problem under discussion. The Virginian-Pilot does not pretend to know what the solution will be. It can only join with the solution of both races who hold that sufficient unto the day is the problem of the moment. That problem is to eradicate racial injustice, to exterminate the lynching practice as something vile, savage and utterly unworthy of a civilized people, and to collaborate to the end that the colored people of the country, particularly the colored people of the South, shall have a fair opportunity to improve their economic status, their living, their education and their culture. The assume that this self-development of a retarded race taking place in the presence of a race more advanced, presages dire conflict for the future—some of our social analysts, Dr. DuBois among them, make precisely this prediction—is to assume that intelligence is a disservice to civilization in stead of a boon. Civilization has pinned its faith to enlightenment. That this enlightenment must be confined to certain races and shut away from others, is a theory not to be reconciled with modern thinking. The contrary theory must be assumed and served. It may lead to perplexities that might be avoided by the preservation of a crude "master-slave" racial disparity, but it is more likely than is the latter plan to lead, in the end, to a happy and permanent racial adjustment.

No Sex In Brains And Ability Large business concerns and institutions have found it advisable to add women to their executive boards. Business men are realizing that women are born to control and order things systematically and economically. The fair sex have exhibited these traits from the time Mother Eve made garments out of fig leaves, and set up housekeeping outside the Garden of Eden. Now, modern Eves are using their natural traits to humanize big business. Mrs. Mary E. Dillon has recently been made general manager and vice-president of the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company, a $5,000,000 corporation, which supplies Brooklyn and Coney Island with gas. In a statement to the press, among other things she says: "There's no sex in brains or in ability. Opportunity knocks as often for women as for men—the only difference being that men interpret all the knocks for themselves, while women, bashfully and with false modesty, get opportunity slip by.

Women have been endowed with the same mental facilities as men. In addition to these are their natural gifts of graciousness and keenness of mind. The latter repays them for their physical weakness. Notwithstanding discouragements by some men, women are reaching out and systematizing, not only their homes, but their respective countries. In time women of all races will occupy the same plane of independence and usefulness, and who is there to tell us that this wicked old world won't reform and all men will bless emancipated womanhood.

"Almost everything we have of true native art in this country," the writer goes on, "is of Negro origin—folklore, the spirituals, jazz, the dance and some of our best poetry.

QUESTIONS A IN NEGRO BY GEORGE WELLS PARKER Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. Who was Terence? B. B. The chapter takes us up and down the city and especially thru Harlem. It will far from satisfy its colored readers who will find matters to criticise. But so will every group of which Bercovici wites. It is impossible in a book of such scope to recite the exact truth on each point; one can simply give impressions. But the impressions for the most part are correct. Each race however, will object to its picture for a race is like an individual, when the photographer comes, it wants to be in its best clothes, with its best expression on its face. No torn shirt or incorrect gesture. But "Around the World in New York" is full of gay life and the gaiety of Harlem is shown with the rest, perhaps "The Indoor Aviator" as a name on a visiting card to signify an elevator man is the most delightful joke told on the race. The shadows are shown impressively. And through the chapters there is deep, honest sympathy. Bercovici has great hope for this city of a hundred peoples and he describes the "slow filtering, drop by drop, into a different civilization, * * * carbon distilling itself into diamonds." Here, I am afraid, the writer sees that from which he longs rather than that which is really happening. Unfortunately the races that have been here for some generations, like the Irish, lose their individuality, become drab rather than diamond-like. To quote from Bercovici in another connection: "The public schools grind out Americans in the same fashion as sausages, all in the same casting though from different kinds of meats." What today makes our city marvelous is its new comers, its people recently from all parts of the earth. When immigration shall have stopped, and our public schools have done their one hundred per cent American worst. New York will be as dull as Omaha.

KING New York City Eyes Of World On Young Men (By WALTER MACK PEEK) (By Associated Negro Press) Young Man, we admire you; believe in you; dream of you. Standing on the verge of manhood, you are an inspiration to us, recalling the day when we, too, stood there looking into the future, wondering what might lie before us. Don't disappoint us son. You promise so much that if you render little, our hearts will be heavy. There will come great temptations for you to allow your ideals to become blunted—for you to be satisfied with a mediocre place in life. If you should yield to these temptations we shall be immensely disappointed. As you stand there, young man, your head lifted, your shoulders thrown back, your eyes looking straight ahead, we cannot but think of the great work ahead, that awaits you. As a builder of bridges, if that be your work, we expect you to build them strong—worthy of their builder. We expect your handiwork to QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS IN NEGRO HISTORY Author of the Children of the Sun Questions pertaining to Negro history anywhere if of general interest and not too long will be answered by Mr. Parker in this column. When space will not permit or the subject Q. Who was Terence? B. B. L., Charleston, W. Va. A. Terence was a Roman of African descent. He lived in the Second Century B. C., and was a noted dramatist. His plays were derived chiefly from the Greek and were faultless in diction and quite near perfection, Q. Was Nebuchadnezzer a Negro? T. J. Marianna, Ark. A. Nebuchadnezzer, king of Babylon, was a mulatto, there fore a Negro. The original inhabitants of Babylon were black Cushites from Africa. Later other tribes of different races entered the Mesopotamian Valley, mixing with the inhabitants and this forming a newer type of Babylonian. While white authors and historians call the Babylonians "Semites" this is used as a blanket term to avoid too much particularizing. The majority of ancient Semites were nothing more nor less than mulattoes. Q. What was the size of Babylon? R. W. P., Lexington, Ky. A. According to the latest scientific information, the ancient city of Babylon was 14 miles square and surrounded by a wall 60 miles long, 300 feet high, 100 feet broad at the base and about 30 feet wide at the top. Q. Was the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation solely a matter of charity and Christian idealism? B. J. G. Pittsburg, Pa. A. It certainly was not. It was a matter of necessity. The North was losing ground and the freedom of the slaves in order to make them soldiers became a matter of military necessity. While we do not wish to detract from Lincoln, remember that he once said in the course of a remark that if he could save the union without freeing the slaves he would do so. He, however, ultimately discovered that to save the union he must free the slaves and so he did. Read Horace Greeley's American Conflict which deals at length with the crisis, quoting meetings, documents, etc. serve faithfully, standing unmoved by flood and storm. As a builder or teacher or doctor or preacher or writer—whatever call to service you hear most clearly, we expect you to be a leader in that field. We expect you to be, son, the inspiration to the world as a man that you are now to us, as a boy. Hang tight to those ideals, son. Fight for them, if necessary. For the world expects great things from you. TID BITS (By Associated Nrgro Press) The Christmas tree ornament is a survival of the worship of Baechus in the days of antiquity. As oscillum or small mask or image, usually by Baechus, was suspended in the vineyards by the country people. As the wind blew through the vines the mask would turn in different directions. It was the belief that the shot upon which Baechus looked would become fruitful. With the advent of the Christian era many of the practices of paganism were adopted in the observance of Christian festivals. The gilt balls now hung on the Christmas tree reflects the image of him that looks at them. But the reflection is a distorted one and the man who would place himself as a minor god in place of Bacchus is shown to be a ridiculous figure. The Christmas tree decorations have long ago been disassociated from the early pagan connections. The oldest sea-going vessels of the world are the junks of the Yellow Sea of China, according to a writer. These junks are "highly decorated vessels with tall poops and rounded sides, reminiscent of the days of Drake and Columbus.

Q. Who was Lafoadio Hearn and did he marry a colored woman? H. V., Rebelt, Wis. A. Lafoudio C. Hearn was a writer of extraordinary power and is apparently coming into the limelight of modern literary study. His mother was a mixture of Greek, Moorish and Arab and evidently rather dark. His father was a very deep student and lover of ancient literature. The same was true of Hearn. He came to America and followed journalism with some success. While in Indiana he either married or lived with a colored woman and associated largely with colored. Later he went to New Orleans and there took with the Creoles, writing them and giving us some good literature. Still later he became disgusted with American prejudice and went to Japan and taught in a Japanese University. There he died. We may safely claim that Hearn belonged to us and that he was a Negro. Q. What people introduced the alphabet into Europe? F. L. O., Boston. A. Tradition claims that Cadmus, a Phoenician, introduced the alphabet into Greece. Of late years there has been much discussion upon the subject, and the study of languages and their relations is so complex, that little can actually be determined. However, we know that the Phoenicians carried on trade very early with Greece and in all probability the alphabet was brought to Europe by them. Q. Who was Isis? G. S., Los Angeles, Calif. A. Isis was the wife of Osiris, the two being gods of ancient Egypt and supposed to have come from Punt of Ethiopia and settled in Egypt. According to the myths these two created the first people out of the black mud of the Nile. Isis making the women and Osiris making the men. Osiris was murdered by a brother, who took the Egyptian throne. It was then that Isis formed the first secret society known to history, the purpose being to overthrow the murderer and avenge her husband. er says: "A junk will not heav to and John Chinaman is fully aware of this.
