THE NORTHWESTERN GARVEY GETS FIVE YEAR SENTENCE FORTIETH YEAR, NO.43 WHAT IS A RACE ASKS BOAS IN THE JANUARY NATION Children Do Not Have Race Antagonism Until Taught It, Says Writer. Opening a series of articles on the "Nordic Myth," to be published in The Nation, Dr. Franz Boas, Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, analyses present concepts of race, and race prejudice in the issue of Jan. 28. Dr. Boas denies that hereditary mental distinctions between races have ever been established. He says: "The occurrence of hereditary mental traits that belong to a particular race has never been proved. The available evidence makes it much more likely that the same mental traits appear in varying distribution among the principal racial groups. The behavior of an individual is therefore not determined by his racial affiliations, but by the character of his ancestry and his cultural environment. We may judge of the mental characteristics of families and individuals, but not of races." Dr. Boas points out that children do not have race antagonism until they are taught to have it: "As the child grows up the dividing line between the races is impressed upon it and in this way the race consciousness develops until it becomes a purely automatic reaction which evokes the same intensity of feeling as the so-called instinctive reactions." Dr. Boas further points out that it is impossible to frame such a description of any race that all of its members will be included: "A whole racial group can never be described by a few descriptive terms, because there will always be many individuals of deviating types. It is our impression that the Swede is blond, blue-eyed, tall, and longheaded; but many Swedes do not conform to this description. We cannot assign one individual to one race, another to another, because we do not know the degree of variability found in the ancestral isolated race, and on account of the long continued mixture the characteristics of the parental races will appear in varying combinations in each individual. All attempts to establish among members of the same social group correlations between mental character and bodily form have failed." Asserting that "many hereditary characteristics are not racial in character, but must be assigned to . . . family strains," Dr. Boas concludes that: "If this be true, it is clear that any generalized characterization of a race must be misleading. It may be possible to characterize family lines, but the assumption of general racial characteristics, anatomical, physiological, or mental, excepting those that belong to the race as a whole, is arbitrarily made." MAN SHOT BY WIFE'S FATHER DIES OF WOUNDS Basil Williams, 23 years old, colored, died at Ancker hospital Tuesday night from a bullet wound in the neck said to have been inflicted by his father-in-law, Thomas Keyes, after an argument about religion at the Keyes home, 3136 Twenty-fourth Avenue south, Minneapolis, Sunday night. According to police, Keyes shot Williams when the latter refused to attend the same church as his wife, Keyes' daughter. Police were notified an hour after the shooting, and Williams, after being taken to Minneapolis General hospital, was later transferred to Ancker, because of his legal residence in St. Paul. Police are looking for Keyes, who disappeared after the shooting. Williams is survived by two brothers, Elwood and Ernest Williams and Mrs. Lander Jackson. BULLETIN-APPEAL "Curley" Campbell,Proprietor Acme Club,Succumbs to Long Illness M. NO RACE, COLOR, CREED IN $750,000 PRESENT Kaufmann's Special Interest I Settlement Named After His Daughter. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 31.—At the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Irene Kauffman Settlement, Mr. Henry Kauffman, brother of the one for whom the settlement is named gave to the institution a piece of property valued at $750,000. The property is located in the heart of the downtown district of Pittsburgh and should increase in value each year. In 1910, Mr. Kauffman gave $200,000 to the "Columbia School and Settlement" under the condition that it should thereafter be called the "Irene Kauffman Settlement," in memory of his daughter. In 1920, the 25th anniversary of the settlement Mr. Kauffman gave an additional $250,000 to provide larger quarters. Besides these large and special gifts, he has given yearly sums to the settlement to maintain its upkeep. In all he has made gifts to the institution approximating $1,500,000. Color Blind Although Mr. Kauffman's special interest has been the settlement named after his daughter, he has always given to other worthy causes, both in Pittsburg and in New York. Through the Kaufmann Settlement he has provided a way for many young people that wanted a schooling and did not have the means to get one. The outstanding feature of the settlement is that there are no restrictions as to color, creed or religion. Mr. Kauffman was lately tendered a dinner by the Board of Trustees and Directors of the Settlement, which was attended by many notables of Pittsburg. JUDGE WILLIS GIVES $100 TO N. A. A. C. P.

After putting up a valiant fight for two years, undergoing much suffering but ever hopeful, Noah C. (Curley) Campbell gave up all earthly struggles and passed into the Great Beyond, Friday, January 30th, at 6:30 A. M. at his late residence, 918 Fuller Ave. Mr. Richard Payne, who had been constantly in attendance and nursed him during his long illness was with him until the end. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church with Solemn Requiem High Mass by Father Theobald. Former associates and friends acting as pallbearers were: Messrs R. N. Travis, S. W. Wilson, Gus Banks, Wm. F. Jackson, R. H. Moore, and John Lane. The remains rested in a beautiful grey casket covered with handsome floral tributes among which was a huge floral clock from Gopher Lodge No. 105. Interment too place in Calvary cemetery. Simpson and Wills had charge of the funeral arrangements.

His only survivors are a sister, Mrs. Mattie Hillard of East St. Louis, Ill., who was unable to attend the funeral on account of illness, two brothers Leonard and E. C. Campbell, the latter arrived from Detroit to attend the funeral. After leaving Vicksburg, Mr. Campbell resided for a number of years in Charleston, Mo., and Cairo, Ill., where he has many friends. For the past twenty-three years he lived in St. Paul. In the earlier days he was associated with R. N. Travis as a partner and also conducted several restaurants. At the time of his death he was president and proprietor of the Acme Club. $ 317 \frac{1}{2} $ Waba- (Continued on page 4) Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Initiate I am very grateful to you for your kindness and support.

Miss Lucille Howell Eta Chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority announces the initiation of Miss Lucille Howell and Miss Louise Algy of the University of Minnesota. Among the many pledges of the Ivy Leaf Club these young ladies received the highest grade during the first semester, and were the only ones eligible for initiation. Members of the Sorority assembled early Saturday evening at the Central Avenue Branch of the Y. W. C. A. and administered to both the necessary qualifications which admitted them as members. Although the ordeal must have been quite strenuous, the young ladies showed no serious effects and are now full fledged members of Eta Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha. JUDGMENT FOR $2,000 WON IN THEATRE CASE N. A. A. C. P. Helps Win Civil Rights Case Against Chicago Theater. Judgment for $2,000 against the Tivoli Theatre Company of Chicago, has been won by a colored man, Leon W. Headen, in a case fought with the assistance of the Chicago Branch and the National Office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to recover for exclusion from the theatre on the ground of color, and for assault and battery committed in electing him. Mr. Headen charged that he purchased tickets for a performance at the theatre and when the tickets were presented, it was endeavored to make him and his companion, Miss Lillian S. Proctor, sit in another part of the house than that to which their tickets entitled them. Upon refusing to change places, theatre attendants, it is charged, assaulted them, severely beating Mr. Headen. To prosecute the case it was necessary for Miss Proctor to go from New York to Chicago to give her testimony. The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. sent Miss Proctor to Chicago to enable her to testify. William H. Haynes, attorney, was in charge of the case, with the advice of Edward H. Morris. In the trial two actions, one brought under the Civil Rights Law, and the other for assault and battery, were merged. The N. A. A. C. P. was glad to cooperate with Mr. Headen and Attorneys Haynes and Morris because this case against the Tivoli Theatre, it is felt, will serve notice upon a number of theatres in Chicago that they cannot discriminate against colored people with impunity. For some time a considerable number of theatres in that city have denied admission to colored people; have sought to segregate colored patrons and in other ways deny to them rights assured them under the Civil Rights Act of the State of Illinois. It is hoped that the $2,000 verdict gained by Mr. Headen will have a salutary effect in protecting the rights of other colored citizens and ending abuses which have been prevalent. BROOKS PANTORIUM HAS BARBER SHOP NOW Mr. G. G. Brooks, owner of Brooks Pantorium, 705 6th Ave. No., Minneapolis, has expanded his business by adding to his cleaning, dyeing and pressing establishment a three chain barber shop manned by three first class barbers in the persons of Dick Beaden, V. Stone and Bunk Haskins. Mr. Brooks' establishment is now ready for inspection. Brooks' Pantorium and Wideawake Barber Shop also has a first class shoe shining stand. $25,000 ROSENWALD GIFT TO DETROIT "Y" Chicago, Ill., Feb. 6.—Julius Rosenwald, chairman of the board of directors of the Sears-Roebuck company, originator of the Rosenwald school plan and donor to more than a dozen buildings for colored Y. M. C. A. groups in the country, this week gave $25,000 toward the construction of the $500,000 building in Detroit, which it is proposed to make the finest in the country. Mr. Seymour, 495 St. Anthony Ave., was taken suddenly ill Wednesday, but hopes to be on his regular run. Mr. Dixon Woods has lately joined the force of the Milwaukee, St. Paul to Fargo. Mr. Lloyd Davis, 873 Marion St., was taken to the Aberdeen hospital Tuesday for an operation. Annual Observance Race Relations Sunday To Be Held at Y.W.C.A. Rev. James Wallace of Macalester College, Rev. C. B. Burton and Selections by Church Choirs Feature Program. The third annual observance of Race Relation Sunday will take place Sunday at the downtown branch of the Y. W. C. A., at 4:30. On account of the fact that many church boards used a Sunday about this time of the year to emphasize their home mission activities, the Federal Council of Churches suggested and promoted Race Relations Sunday in 1923 and again in 1924. Rev. James Wallace of Macalester College will speak on "Jesus' Teachings on the Race Question." Rev. C. B. Burton of Memorial Baptist Church will speak on "Some Negro Achievements in America." There will be special music by the Junior Choirs of St. James A. M. E. Church and Pilgrim Baptist Church. The co-operation of Home Mission Boards, the Y. M. C. A.'s and Y. W. C. A.'s local missionary societies and churches, and many social agencies, as wel las the religious and social leaders in many localities, in observing Race Relations Sunday, has made it a national event. Reports for 1924 from localities as widely scattered as Chicago, Ill., Little Rock, Ark., Chattanooga, Tenn., Dayton, Ohio, Los Angeles, Cal., and New Orleans, La., show how far and wide the idea has carried. Many newspapers published editorials and extracts from the suggestions prepared by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations.... White and colored churches exchanged choirs, and special speakers; visits were exchanged between the churches of the two races. A number of church forums had special speakers for the occasion. The exchange of ideas and thoughts, the contact and observation which these programs promote, will contribute much toward the annihilation of racial prejudice. Sterling Non-Pareil Club Is Progressing The Sterling Non-Parell Club has obtained quarters at 247 13th Ave. So. In the next few weeks they will hold a formal opening. This announcement illustrates the fact that the "Shortneck" boys, as the organization is more familiarly known, is getting better with age. This progressive group of young men started giving dances and entertainments about two years ago, and their dances are so popular that they are the talk of the two towns. With the proceeds from their entertainments the Sterling Non-Pareil Club has, besides giving much money to charity, insured each of its members with the largest life insurance company in the country. Edward Summers is president of the club, Rufus Anderson, vice-president; Roscoe Walden, treasurer; Ernest Watson, secretary; Frank Covington, assistant secretary; Howard Stone, Eddie Davis, Joe Williams and Eddie Blackman are the remaining members. OKLAHOMAN KILLS WHITE MAN ATTACKING DAUGHTER. Oklahoma, City, Okla., Feb. 6. Joseph Garrett is in the county jail on the charge of killing a white man. No lynching is expected. Garrett came home Sunday and found his white neighbor with his arms around one of his daughters, attempting to drag her over to his home. Both men drew guns, but Garrett was quicker. His first shot penetrated the intruder's head. At the trial Thursday the defense will show that the white man was under the influence of liquor and entered the house with the intention of committing rape. Joins Urban League National N. Y. Body PETER H. Mr. T. Arnold Hill, former executive secretary of the Western District of the Urban League, has tendered his resignation. Mr. Hill will affiliate with the National body, with headquarters in New York City. He will still maintain his residence in Chicago. Mr. Hill is well known in St. Paul, where he has made several visits in the interest of the local branch. His new position will require a great deal of traveling, owing to the number of branches which are being established in all sections of the country. A branch was recently organized in Baltimore, Md. RHINELANDER CASE TO COME UP IN MARCH Millionaire and Colored Wife Meet Secretly Is Latest Report. New York City, Feb. 6.—That the divorce trial of Leonard "Kip" Rhinelander, New York millionaire who married secretly Alice Jones, will be staged early in March, instead of in August, was indicated by Judge Samuel Swineburne, counsel for the wife. The case will not await its place on the calendar, asserts the judge. Leonard Rhinelander is said to have expressed delight at the prospect of an early trial of the case which he has already definitely stated that he hoped his wife would win. Reports that the millionaire and his bride still meet secretly, and plan for the period following the trial, persist in this city. It is stated that the couple, confident that the suit for divorce, instigated by the millionaire's parents, will not be won by the young husband, are planning a European trip immediately after the trial. In the annulment proceedings, it was stated that Mrs. Rhinelander attempted to deceive her husband as to her color. "Judge Swineburne asserts that the defense has legal proof that the groom was fully aware of all the facts of his bride's history and that the bride's father had pleaded with Rhinelander not to marry Miss Jones. "La Petite Revue" At 7th St. Theatre "La Petite Revue," a fantastic song and dance production with a company of 7; and Billy Batchelor, the comedian, and company of girls, presenting "Don't Forget Your Parcels," a travesty of rail travel, share headline honors on this week's bill at the Seventh Street theater. "Don't Forget Your Parcels" is in two scenes, in the last of which Batchelor essays the role of a waiter in a dining car. Also on the bill are Tex McLeod, the cowboy humorist, who also entertains with an exhibition of roping; Tommy Van and Sara Vernon, who call their comedy skit "The Old Hoak;" June and Irene Melva, xylophonists; Jack Lewis, the character comedian, who depicts the ancient station agent at "Jasper Junction," and Alexander brothers and Evelyn, jugglers. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS TENCE FEDERAL JUDGES SUSTAIN LOWER COURT RULING Garvey Acted as Own Attorney and Was Only One to Be Convicted. New York, Feb. 6—Marcus Garvey lost his appeal for a new trial Monday in the United States circuit court of appeals and must serve a five-year term in prison and pay a $1,000 fine. Garvey was convicted in June, 1923 on on indictment charging him with using the mails in a scheme to defraud in connection with the sale of worthless stock in the Black Star Steamship line. He was sentenced by Federal Judge Mack. During the trial Garvey acted as his own attorney and was the only one of the numerous Garveyites to be convicted. He appealed his case in a printed volume of 3,000 pages. An effort is being made by Assistant United States Attorney Mattuck, who prosecuted the case to send Garvey to Atlanta as soon as possible. Fraud Declared. The high court's opinion summarized the indictment as declaring that the entire scheme was to persuade members of the Race to buy stock in the Black Star line at $5 a share, when the defendants knew that, not with standing florid representations the shares were not, and in all probability never could be, worth $5 each or any other sum. The persons indicted with Garvey were acquitted and Garvey was convicted on only one count. In affirming the conviction Judge Hough said: "It may be true that Garvey fancied himself a 'Moses,' if not a Messiah, that he believed himself a man with a message to deliver, but believed that he needed ships for the deliverance of his people; but with this assumed, it remains true that if his gospel consisted in part of exhorations to buy worthless stock, accompanied by false statements as to the worth therof, he was guilty of a scheme or artifice to defraud. "Stripped of its appeal to the ambitions, emotions or race consciousness of men of Color, it was a simple and fraudulent device by which the object (as so many others) was to ascertain how it could best unload upon the public its capital stock at the largest possible price." COMMENDS N. A. A. C. P.

This man was more than man, he The 12th day of February marks a memorable event—the natal anniversary of Abraham Lincoln. It has been wisely suggested that the race celebrate jointly the anniversaries of the martyred president and Frederick Douglass. There is no doubt but that the personal contact of Douglass with President Lincoln, together with his wonderful forensic ability and noble bearing, had much to do with strengthening Mr. Lincoln's belief in the possibilities of the race, if it did not actually hasten emancipation of the slaves. Douglass was a fine speciman of manhood. He came upon the scene of turmoil at an opportune time. A master of rhetoric and oratory, he dispelled the theory of the Negro being incapable of higher education. The memory of Lincoln grows brighter with the passing of time. To the Negro—the beneficiary of his princely magnanimity—the mere mention of his name has a sacred meaning. The reverence by which his memory is held is surpassed only by the Master Jesus. Both were Saviours. Master Jesus was the salvation of mankind; Lincoln the salvation of a race of 4,000,000 souls, held in fettered bondage. His homely virtues are outstanding for simplicity and truth. This man was more than man, he was divine. THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT was Donnelly—of blessed memory—wrote and died in the autumn of 1891, the year the author problem. We wish it were possible for every white and colored, even at this late day, to reform former lieutenant governor of Minnesota, coeditor, novelist, orator, historian and expound theory, was during his life, Minnesota's reign of letters. The title of the book we refer briefly it deals with a South Carolina physician and aristocratic family, who seeks justice for a man of charming personality and much less this he was wealthy and a social favorite, and that he took invariably in defense of the conflict in his social expulsion. The author, to judge is mythical and groundless, changes the hero. The whites recognized the black's eruption the time of its publication was regarded as a proof of faith in the future of the race. They have amazing accomplishments the Negro has man endeavor in the first quarter of the presen- tually breaking the barriers of racial prejudice of knowledge and wealth. However, he confronted in our daily life. He stalks up from the road. But we are better prepared than we were at the time Mr. Donnelly wrote. The fact that the Negro throughout his life and an opportunity, has never faltered in his belief in God, has given him confidence from another his opponents do or not, that his future safe in the hands of the Divine Creator. We are radical enemies do if they should become they would seek to earn a living to support them they would then understand as never before racial prejudice really is.

Could he succeed, as well as the man he now detests? With all the Negro must confront, his achievements in cement are marvelously unprecedented. Ignatius Donnelly—of blessed memory—wrote a book that was published in the autumn of 1891, the year the author died, on the race problem. We wish it were possible for every thoughtful person, white and colored, even at this late day, to read it. Mr. Donnelly, former lieutenant governor of Minnesota, congressman, lawyer, editor, novelist, orator, historian and expounder of the Baconian theory, was during his life, Minnesota's most distinguished man of letters. The title of the book we refer to is "Dr. Huguet." Briefly it deals with a South Carolina physician, member of an old aristocratic family, who seeks justice for the Negro. He was a man of charming personality and much learning. In addition to this he was wealthy and a social favorite. The pronounced stand that he took invariably in defense of the black race almost resulted in his social expulsion. The author, to prove that racial prejudice is mythical and groundless, changes the physician into a Negro. The whites recognized the black's erudition. The story at the time of its publication was regarded as prophesy by many who had faith in the future of the race. They have lived to see the amazing accomplishments the Negro has made in every line of human endeavor in the first quarter of the present century. We are gradually breaking the barriers of racial prejudice through the accumulation of knowledge and wealth. However, the enemy must still be confronted in our daily life. He stalks upon our trail at every turn of the road. But we are better prepared to give him battle today than we were at the time Mr. Donnelly wrote his remarkable book. The fact that the Negro throughout his struggle for justice and an opportunity, has never faltered in his faith and absolute belief in God, has given him confidence from within. He knows, whether his opponents do or not, that his future is assured; that he is safe in the hands of the Divine Creator. What would some of our radical enemies do if they should become black over night? They would seek to earn a living to support themselves and family. They would then understand as never before what a damnable thing racial prejudice really is. The door of opportunity would be closed to them; they would be obliged to seek such employment as the white man prescribes for the average person of color—a menial. The point is, could he endure his lot as uncomplainingly as his black brother? Could he succeed, under such adversity, as well as the man he now detests? With all the obstacles that the Negro must confront, his achievements in constructive advancement are marvelously unprecedented.

Americanization Series The Bulletin-Appeal will publish, each week, biographies and auto-biographies of men and women of the race who have contributed something worthwhile to the history of our common country. The object of these articles is to acquaint the youth of the race, both native born and alien, with facts that are not to be found in the average school history. There are in the United States a large number of aliens of the colored races. The immigration laws limit the number of whites of each nationality, forbids orientals, but permits the darker races to enter without restrictions. This fact is due, no doubt, out of deference to the American Negro. It devolves a duty, however, upon the race to prepare the new comers for American citizenship. That they may know America better we present the biography of Phillis Wheatley—Poetess. PHILLIS WHEATLEY Phillis Wheatley was born in Boston, Mass., Dec. 5th, 1794.

She died at Boston, Mass., Dec. 5th, 1794. When a mere child she was brought to Boston by slave traders and sold to Mrs. John Wheatley, a kindly Christian woman. Phillis was taught to read and write and exhibited a fondness for books. Mrs. Wheatley and her daughters, taking unusual interest in teaching the little slave girl, she acquired, for the time, a superior education, reading Latin with facility. At an early age she began to express her thoughts in verse, and some of her poems written at fourteen years of age give evidence of poetic ability. At nineteen, in the bloom of her youth, she visited England, where she attracted much attention. A volume of her poems dedicated to the Countess of Huntington was published there, containing her portrait and bearing the title, "Poems on various Subjects, Religious and Moral, by Phillis Wheatley, Negro servant to Mr. John Wheatley of Boston, in New England." After her return from England she published several other poems, among others an address to General Washington. Her book was reprinted in Boston and passed through several editions. The family of Mr. Wheatley was broken up by death soon after her return. She was married to a man of her race by the name of Peters. She passed away without issue. Her poems contain a pathetic sweetness, such as only a soul could give forth under the peculiar circumstances that surrounded her life. Her sentient nature and strong religious convictions as expressed in her writings combine beautifully the material with the spiritual. Excellent Papers Read At Memorial Membership Banquet THE PRESENT DAY NEEDS OF THE CHURCH We are living in what might well be termed the golden age of civilization. In these propitious times many problems and questions of interest daily confront us and one among the chief problems of interest is: THE PRESENT DAY NEEDS OF THE CHURCH. The first and the greatest need is true religion, personal morality, respect for the Church, and honest desire to help all others; love others and all else will follow. Thus religion and law are both needed. The Church stirs conscience and creates condition. The state defines justice and maintains the sanctity of law. Another great need is true Christians. Those who love God and man, obey the laws and respect the rights of others. The Church should have co-operation and unity. Without cooperation there is no success; without unity there is no strength. United we stand divided we fall. The Church needs men and women who will work tenaciously for the cause of Christ and who are steadfast and unmovable, letting their light shine and not hiding it under a bushel. The Church should have more simplicity and sacredness, and not so much formality; more followers and less leaders; more doers and less fault-finders and grave diggers; more intelligence, and less ignorance. The Church should have a standard. When we know what we are doing, we should next inquire how it compares with what we should be doing if we did our share. A program for the Church is another great need. This program may not be as elaborate in one Church as in another, but surely much of the inefficiency of our Church life has been due to the fact that we have not been moving consciously towards some well defined purpose or accomplishing some new and splendid objective. The Church program should include the recruiting of life among the young people, training through education. The great point of emphasis here is that the Church should have a definite program with great objectives. The Church is in need of men and women with a vivid Christian experience and vigorous Christian message is paramount. There is a vital need of men who have the power of bringing others face to face with the real issues of life; men and women who won't roll in any direction; as one writer has well said: "Her ideas were like marbles on a perfectly planed floor, they roll equally well in any direction in which you placed them. The Church is also in need of Christian leadership. There is a demand for men who will give themselves with the same determination and usefulness and unselfishness to the task. Help Young People It is not enough however to lead our young people to a decision for Christian service; they must be given direction and help in preparing for the service, and here the utmost discretion, and the broadest visions are --- More Simplicity ation Series publish, each week, biographies and women of the race who have con- to the history of our common articles is to acquaint the youth of lien, with facts that are not to be bury. es a large number of aliens of the laws limit the number of whites, but permits the darker races this fact is due, no doubt, out of no.

We are living in a day when the demands upon true Christian workers are greater than ever before. Popular education has raised the scale of ordinary intelligence far above that of other days. In every sphere of life the highly Christian man or woman is in demand. The Christian minister or missionary must need be not merely a leader but a leader of leaders. To a profound Christian experience should be added the fullest possible intellectual preparation. We are dealing with a phase of christian work of the utmost moment, and constant guidance from above must be sought. Church Needs Love The most pressing of all needs of the present day Church is love. "How the storm clouds would vanish, like mist of the night at the rising of the sun, if men could only learn to love one another, taught by the example of those who name Christs name as His profound follower. Would you grasp the greatest treasure, time keeps buried 'neath his woe? Think and act alone for others, leaving self to lag behind; Treat man-kind as sisters, brothers be forgiving and be kind. THE PRESENT DAY ADVANTAGES OF THE CHURCH It is often thought, when one looks around and considers the condition of the world—the recklessness of living, the lawlessness on every side—that the church has become a less important and influential factor in life than formerly. Of course such is not the case, but in order to appreciate fully the church of today and its advantages, one must trace the development of the church from an earlier period. The ancient church, we recall, was not a building or even a group as we thing of it to-day. We have read how the prophets, Amos, Jeremiah and Moses of old, led their respective groups, preaching to them of the heavenly kingdom, of the coming of the Messiah. Also how the Christ and his disciples went from place to place, preaching to their followers and to those whom they met who were filled with curiosity or the desire for knowledge. Then the churches of the Middle Ages, when Catholicism flourished. The Church was then the most important institution, being the seat of the government and the place to which supplicants came from distant countries to seek its repose and peace. Here we find more a basis for our present day church. To it our ministers invite those who are weary, heavy laden and oppressed. Thus it would seem that within the church was this peace and comfort, but Ruskin tells us that "the Church is a body to be taught and fed, not to teach and feed." So we see that only as we comprise the church may we be usful. It is here we come after wan- mes biographies and who have con- of our common at the youth of that are not to be of aliens of the number of whites the darker races dering from place to place through brambles and bushes of sin, thickets of unbelief, and sorrows, to soothe our fears and be protected and loved. Surely to such an institution no one will be so foolish as to ascribe failure, even though the world today seems to be money-mad, insane with the progress of science, the folly of youth and the seeming indifference of middle age to things worth while. By no means. To the present day church, designated as being composed of faithful men, and being the one true, indivisible and indiscernible church, built on the foundation of Apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone, are attributed these advantages—first, the discernment of Christian character manifested by service and humanity; second love, that characteristic which makes the whole world kin, which keeps the strong from taking unfair advantage of the weak, and which renders the most savage and untamed as gentle as lambs; third, appreciation of the rights and privileges of others. And to these let us add the greatest advantage of all—that of freedom—freedom of mind, of body and that sublime freedom of the soul which when one feels it he may quote these lines: "Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods there be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced or cried aloud Under the bludgeoning of fate My head is bloody but not blooded It matters not how straight the gate, How charged with punishment the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." MRS. E. BELL. CORRECTION In speaking of the participants on the excellent program rendered at the membership banquet at Memorial Baptist Church Wednesday evening, Jan. 28th, we wish to state that the soprano solo "When God Gave Me Love and You" was sung by Mrs. Jerry L. Larkins instead of Miss Larkins. Mrs. L. W. Pleasant was the accompanist. Mrs Larkins formerly resided in Seattle. The names of the committee who acted on this occasion were not submitted to us, however, we will be pleased to publish same in our next issue. Owing to lack of space the "Papers" by Mesdames Coleman and Stelle appear in this issue. Final Day—SATU Semi-Annual Straps Oxfords Plain Pumps Semi-Annual Clearance Sale Spend YOUR Money With Our Advertisers They Appreciate Your Patronage THE SIFTER I was much pleased with your railroad column in your last issue. It will fill a long felt want. I am a retired railroad man, and this new department of your excellent paper may get me in touch with some of the "old boys" of the eighties. I would like to know the whereabouts of the Burnette brothers, Charlie and Mark; Will Gillisple and Zeke Perkins, Fred Cross—he of the sideburns, Charlie Mason, Will Johnson, Jasper Taylor, Tom Grayson, Fenton Harsh, Sim Johnson, Isaac Bryan, Ed Peck. No doubt many have passed on from this terrestrial sphere, but those that abide it be a pleasure to hear about. CHAS. WILSON, New Orleans, La. Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 4, 1925. Dear Editor: I am a Bulletin-Apeal booster and probably always will be. I want to see the paper grow and prosper, and am always anxious to know just how I can help. I try to trade with your advertisers at all times. I have spent carfare quite a few times to go across the town to buy from merchants who advertise in the paper of my race, and I think it is no more than right that all of us should realize the necessity of having a local paper and of trading with those merchants who show their appreciation of their colored business by advertising with our publications. I notice that many of the business places thickly populated by our group never advertise in our papers. For a long time I have had occasion to use taxi-cabs, but it always bothered me to see so much advertising in the other papers and none in our own papers, when I knew that people of our group patronized the various cab companies heavily. Two weeks ago I opened my Bulletin-Apeal and saw that one company had at last seen the light. From now on that company gets my business. That's the kind of Bulletin booster I am.

Early in February, 1923, Mr. Campbell was taken ill and every possible means of medical science was resorted to. Accompanied by Mr. Payne, he spent some time in Hot Springs, Ark., hoping to receive some benefit. No matter what business enterprise he was engaged in he was highly thought of by his employees and gave them every consideration. He never refused assistance to any worthy project or individual.
