Berthelsen, Proprietor Agency—Indian Motorcycles and Pope Line of Bicycles Repairing Guaranteed Most Distinctive In America, Some Resonance Browder Says Benjamin Brawley. Benjamin Brawley in a recent article in the Southern Workman has the following to say of the possibilities of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wall of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. The Russians are a case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckons to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but so far much of his talent has not soared above the vardeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which, need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. TYLER AN HONOR GRADUATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO. Son of Ralph W. Tyler Completes Course in Pharmacy. Columbus, O.-The only member of our race in this year's graduating class at the College of Pharmacy of the University of Ohio is Waldo Woodson Tyler of this city, son of former auditor for the navy, Ralph W. Tyler. Young Tyler took the four year course, specializing in chemistry, in which he has been rated high, and will graduate with the degree of bachelor of science. There are thirty members of this year's graduating class, the remaining twenty-nine being white. The majority of the white students took the two year pharmacy course, but Tyler, along with eight whites, took the four year course, and this course at the University of Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest and most efficient of any university in the country. From the ten colleges which make up the University of Ohio there will graduate this year over 800 students, only seven of whom are colored. One young colored man graduates from the College of Agriculture in the person of Henry A. Wilson of Talladega, Ala. There will be five graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine—Norman Dumas Miller of Fort Smith, Ark.; Robert M. Winkfield, Lexington, Ky.; Louis M. Weaver, Ironton, O.; Ralph Vincent Kennon, Cedarville, O., and Elmer LeRoy Carson of this city. The University of Ohio has 5,000 students, only about thirty-five of whom are colored. The institution is richly endowed by federal and state appropriations, and possesses buildings that are second to no university in the country. No distinction is made in the admission of students on account of color. Commencement Week at Tuskegee. Commencement week at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute began on Sunday, May 23. The commencement sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. The students marched to the chapel in a body. Thursday, May 27, was observed as commencement day, and the address was delivered by the Right. Rev. R. S. Williams, bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church of Augusta, Ga. Special trains for commencement day were run from Opelika, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. Dr. J. W. Darden was in charge of the party from Opelika and Victor H. Tulane was in charge of the Montgomery delegation. National Sunday School Congress. Henry Allen Boyd, secretary of the National Baptist Sunday School congress, is congratulating the local committee on entertainment at Birmingham, Ala., where the annual session is to be held beginning Wednesday, June 9, on the splendid arrangements which it has made for the care and comfort of the thousands of delegates and visitors who will attend the sessions of the congress. The meetings will run for six days. The program is ready for distribution, and the subjects cover every phase of Sunday school methods and management. Sahara Temple to Hold Big Reception. One of the largest events in secret society circles for the early part of June in Pittsburgh will be the summer reception of Sahara temple No. 2, Ancient Accepted Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, which will be held at Duquesne Garden on Monday evening, June 7 What the Noted Prelate Says About the Coming Chicago Exposition. Chicago.—In connection with the large exposition to be held in this city at the Coliseum from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, will be held the Abraham Lincoln tribune celebration, at which hundreds of relics of the martyred president will be shown and tribute paid to the memory of the great humanitarian. The exposition will be unique, says Bishop Samuel Fallow, state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and president of the exposition. Nothing like it has ever before been done or even attempted. The exposition will mark fifty years of freedom for the colored race in America. Assurance that President Wilson will be present was made to Bishop Fallowes in a message from Washington which stated that Mr. Wilson will attend if no unforeseen governmental complications arise to prevent. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois is the president, ex-officio. State Senator John Dalley of Peoria is vice president. Among the honorary vice presidents are Miss Jane Addams, Governor Baldwin of Connecticut, Governor Bass of New Hampshire, Judge Theodore Brentno, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas H. Cannon, head of the Catholic Order of A. H. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN. Foresters, Chicago; former Governor Charles S. Deneen, Cardinal James Gibbons, Governor Whitman of New York and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Twelve distinct departments have been created for the exposition, and in them will be shown exhibits from nearly every state in which the negro is a part of the population. These departments are religion, education, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional, fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Nineteen state legislatures have either passed or have before them bills providing appropriations to establish state exhibits. Hundreds of letters approving the purpose of the exposition have been received, representing every race and religion, every profession and business and social activity in America. The exhibits of the progress of the colored man since his emancipation from slavery will be many and various. Each of the 400 colored schools and colleges in the United States will be represented. The best of 3,000 patents granted to colored men by the federal government will, by special arrangement, be brought to Chicago to show in the Colleseum. The government of Liberia, Africa, made up originally of freed slaves from America, will send an exhibit, and Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has been appointed their official representative by the Liberian government. The Roman Catholic exhibit will be a feature of the exposition, including, besides paintings and sculpture, many relics of the Negro in his relation to the church. There are more than 2,000,000 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits, and 78 per cent of them are in the southern states. More than 28 per cent of the total number of farmers in the south in 1910 were Negroes and 12 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by them. The Negro has produced 6,000 books and periodicals, nearly 7,000 songs and musical compositions. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann is secretary of the commission, having charge of the celebration. Growth of the Mayesville (S.C.) School. The Mayesville Industrial school at Mayesville, S.C., was founded many years ago by Miss Emma Wilson. It is doing a most commendable work among the people of that section of the state. The school was started in an old abandoned cotton gin house without any furnishings. Ten children of the neighborhood formed the first group of students. It has grown from a very small school to one of the largest and best managed of its kind in South Carolina. Miss Wilson is still at the head of the work and tells a most thrilling story of her struggles to maintain the institution during the early years of its existence. Many good white people, north and south, contribute to its support. Some Features of the June Crise. The June issue of the Crisis Magazine is called the Great Northwest number. It bristles with much interesting and instructive reading matter. The "Men of the Month" section is illustrated from photographs of persons who have won distinction in their line. Each month brings new friends to this militant race publication, "which has come to the kingdom for such a time as this." OAKLAND SUNSHINE Mt. Zion Lodge No. 4, A. F. & A.

Davis, San Jose MEMBER NATIONAL NEIGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION In the Oklahoma case won by the Society for the Advancement of Colored People they have achieved a decided victory. In the case just decided by the United States Supreme Court it vertually puts a stop to the ground for the clause. Now let us take fresh courage. All fair-minded men are not dead. Mr. Bryan was too big a thinker to be second in command. We expected that he would grow despondent under restraint. Some men must lead always; it is not theirs to follow. We consider that the act of Governor Skalton of Georgia in saving the life of Leo Frank was in keeping with the wishes of the people of this country. There never was any positive evidence offered that Frank was the slayer of the Fagan girl, although we regret that some one tried to make a negro the scapegoat. That is no reason why Frank should not be given the benefit of a reasonable doubt. We hope that the day will soon come when those wild-eyed people that are always ready to take the law into their own hands in those Southern States will have enough of lawlessness. A WORTHY SOCIETY. After careful investigation we is due. Until very recently the West Indian Aid Association was charitable organization in the brass society is broad and liberal, assistians alike.

After careful investigation we are giving credit where credit is due. Until very recently the writer had no knowledge that the West Indian Aid Association was really and truly a benevolent and charitable organization in the broadest sense of the word. This society is broad and liberal, assisting both West Indians and Americans alike. We have ample grounds for saying that the West Indian Association is the only organized body or society amongst us that assists destitute persons outside of its own membership. To the best of their ability and without any outside assistance, it has fed and housed dozens of men and women, both West Indians and Americans. Too much cannot be said in honor of this noble band of united workers, who silently and without any ostentation do all the good they possibly can to assist the unfortunate of their race. We have before us at present over two dozen checks for meals paid for by this society. We can very clearly see the cause for the immense throngs of people who attend their picnics annually at Shell Mound Park. We are no prophets, but we venture to predict that the attendance at their picnic this summer will be unprecedented. CIVIL SERVICE ELIGIBLES PROTEST AGAINST CON- TRACT WORK. A protest has been made by the civil service eligibles on the janitor list of the Oakland City Hall by the men now waiting on the eligible list for appointment to those positions through Attorney F. W. Moore, Jr. The men claim that under the charter the City Council has no right to let the work of Oakland's million-dollar City Hall cleaning be done by contract, since they have taken the examination for those positions and qualified as such. Attorney Fred W. Moore, Jr., who has been retained by the protestants, says that it is a big piece of injustice to the men who have taken the examination and qualified for the positions, and that they should be given the positions under civil service as was intended not only by the charter, but by the Civil Service Board as well, although the Commissioners have taken the adverse opinion and are making arrangements to let the work out by contract. SUNSHINE MAKES PARTIAL FORECAST FOR TWO METHODIST CONFERENCES. The A. M. E. Bethel Church Conference Meets in San Francisco With Rev. J. H. Wilson. Bishop Parks Presiding. It appears to us that Rev. Price of Bakersfield will be transferred. Rev. Gregg is giving satisfaction in Los Angeles and will no doubt remain for an indefinite period. Rev. Wilson has worked very hard and faithful in the city and likes the work and people very much. But ill health compels a removal, although he is now convalescent, but a reaction may come at any time. Pasadena will no doubt have a change, as will Sacramento. Stockton is not slated for any change this year. Oakland may be supplied during the year, possibly after the holidays. It is to be regretted that Rev. Peck desires to still stay in the fight for Bishop. This will of necessity compel him to transfer to one of the Eastern conferences. This is necessary from the fact that a candidate for a general office must be in touch with the center of population as near as possible. Out of sight, out of mind, seems to be the fact in looking up timber for the high offices. For the same reason Rev. W. W. Matthews of the Zion connection goes East to get in touch and to let himself be seen and known. The preachers here this side of the Rockies are forgotten. Rev. Mathews aspires to be Secretary of his connection, although it will be a great loss to the Conference of California. The Sunshine sees no other way out of the dilemma except to transfer the Rev. Jesse Peck to the East in order that he may be in position to demand the votes, and that is what it takes to elect a Bihsop of the great A. M. E. Church, and Dr. Peck is polished and possessed of as many qualities as the average candidate and more than some possess. Rev. Harbert makes a splendid District Trustee, but there is no saying at present but what a change will be made. COLORED RACE AT THE EXPOSITION. To the Many Readers of the Oakland Sunshine. It affords me great pleasure to accept the invitation of the editor of this paper to contribute "special feature articles." To those who read the Oakland Tribune, remember a few weeks ago it contained an article from my pen, "Booker Washington and the Clansman." In this article I gave to-the reading public a statement that Booker Washington had issued to colored people through the United States by sending Mr. Washington in my statement I omitted those parts that would cause the other race to criticize our actions in the fight we were then waging against the performance of the play. I have always maintained that news of especial interest to us as a people ought to be discussed in our own papers among ourselves. But if a bit of news that would have a tendency to better our position in the community, then it should not only be published on our own race papers in the paper as well; or if we had a distinguished member of the race visiting our city, then we should have the same mentioned as general news, as my write-up in regard to Chaplin Scott in Tuesday's Tribune, so that when you pay your two cents for a daily paper you will get race --- ```markdown ``` we are giving credit where credit writer had no knowledge that the are really and truly a benevolent and broadest sense of the word.

It is to be regretted day in the fight for Bishop. This transfer to one of the Eastern con- flict the fact that a candidate for a gen- eral the center of population as near mind, seems to be the fact in look- s. For the same reason Rev. W. ton goes East to get in touch and the preachers here this side of Mathews aspires to be Secretary be a great loss to the Conference no other way out of the dilemma Peck to the East in order that he eotes, and that is what it takes M. E. Church, and Dr. Peck is any qualities as the average candi- Rev. Harbert makes a splendid saying at present but what a news as well as other daily occurrences. But coming back to Booker Washington and the Clansman, the portion of his statement that I omitted was as follows: "It will be a serious and grave mistake to wait until the pictures are actually being exhibited in these cities and then attempt to close them up. The weakness of this plan has been clearly demonstrated in New York and Boston. Another and more important reason for taking preventive measures is that once the play has been put on in a city the managers encourage and even skillfully initiate opposition on account of the advertising the play receives when attempts are made to stop it. The people of Chicago are acting very wisely in forestalling its appearance and this is the policy which it would be well for every community to pursue." Thus I have given Washington's heart to talk to children and to cooperate as since then the play has opened in Chicago and the Mayor was promising to stop it; whether he succeeded or not I am unable to at this writing to say, but will in my next letter. I am particularly hopeful that we as a people will try and grit our teeth and ignore the return engagement the play is filling now in San Francisco. I sometimes think, and not without a reason, that the letters and sermons published against the play while it was playing in Oakland was the direct result of the invitation for the --- colored people to participate in the Alameda county parade. There was a time that the mere mention of the colored people to even want to participate in a Fourth of July celebration with the white people called forth some very harsh criticism from one of the largest papers in San Francisco, to think (I am using their language) that the negroes even thought themselves good enough to march under Old Glory, etc. Other papers joined in the unnecessary criticism. This all occurred after the Emancipation Proclamation. You can see that the mere fact that colored children marched through the streets of San Francisco, carrying the Stars and Stripes, showed a decided change of feeling toward the colored people in the parts, often make the remark. Old Glory is good enough for me. I say it because countless numbers of colored soldiers died in the last war with Spain and the war of the rebellion in defending the Stars and Stripes, and then we are told that during the Civil War, when as the 54th Massachusetts lost heavily, the bearer of the Stars and Stripes was a colored man, who was mortally wounded, and after the battle Col. Shaw sought him out. Just before he passed from life he said, "Colonel, the old flag never touched the ground." To me the American flag is sacred, if for no other reason than I have stated. Take for instance the Exposition now being held in San Francisco. We often say we have no building, no exhibits.

We believe that humanity and encourage the case of right and justice for all sorts and conditions of people, women, children and men. We believe in an Almighty.God and we are unalterably opposed to the sovereign will and power vested in one human being, man or woman. We believe in inspired and divine race leadership and we are uncompromisingly opposed to specially hired or charitably bribed leadership for specially hired or willingly be specially hired and privately paid to lead the people can be bribed to mislead the people. We believe that colored men in all parts of the republic should vote and be allied with any political party they desire, and we strongly advocate taking an active part in politics and voting at all elections. We believe in a broad franchise for women and men, and we advocate the same qualification for both, because it is just, right and fair and will work for the success of human progress and good government. The object of the Colored Citizens Protective Association is: To seek the truth by turning the searchlight on in dark places; to oppose false teachings ```markdown ``` exhibit and building, the Stars and Stripes, representing the United States Government, said the negroes are worthy of an exhibit, nd so some of our best work is being displayed in Stars and Stripes.

[Name] I convince the most doubtful, I will give to anyone mentioning this announcement a seven days' treatment of herbs at half price. This is barely enough to cover the cost of the herbs. At the end of this trial you will be able to judge for yourself just how efficient this herb treatment is. We have letters of thanks for cures of almost every known disease. These letters from local and out-of-town sufferers are open to your inspection at our office. The following are two of the many letters showing the high regard in which we are held by our many grateful patients: Dr. Chan. Dear Sir: I am pleased to testify to the merits of your Chinese Herbs, which I had occasion to use for stomach trouble, after trying several physicians for three years and obtained no relief. Yours truly, E. SHERMAN, 1739 Buchanan St. S. F. Chan and Kong Herb Co. Dear Sir: Having lactored by several doctors for kidney trouble and getting no relief whatever, I decided to take your treatment, and after four weeks was absolutely cured. Respectfully yours, FRANK C. SACHS, 1132 Tennessee St., Vallejo, Cal. Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the Nationa. Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determination to have the size dolls sent out that they the big dolls. "We will wait to see the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from seventeen to thirty-six inches. The orders are being rapidly sent out. Many of the churches have sent in orders that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF the County of Alameda, State of California.

DeHart, who has recently returned from a visit in Brenham, Texas, has kindly consented to write something for the Sunshine on the progress of the race there under her observations.

Simms, teacher in special school; Ann Elizabeth Crosswaite and Robertann Babbear, teachers in the department of English of Summer High School, St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Mascengale also has as her guest Mrs. Greer and Mrs. Craddock of St. Louis. Mrs. L. Gilbert, on Manila street, was hastily called to the bedside of her daughter in Washington, D. C., who underwent an operion for appendicitis. The entertainment given by Parocial Chapter on the 15th ws a grand success in every respect. This is not a surprise to the public, as the chapter could have nothing else but success with such an able chairman as Mrs. M. Fisher. Meet me at Shellmound Park Tuesday, July 20th, the Elks' Picnic and Vaudeville. If you want to see what an Elk can do meet me at Shellmound on July 20th. Irma, the infant child of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hickerson, was badly burned Tuesday and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. At this writing she is resting as easily as could be expected. Miss Pearl Hinds is expected to arrive home Saturday from Wilberforce, Ohio, where she has been attending school. Her cousin, Miss Elliott, will accompany her home. Mr. and Mrs. John Wilds were agreeably surprised Monday by the return of their son James, who has been gone for 25 years. Mr. Wilds left Tuesday on a special car. He expects to return again sometime this summer. We are rather late in mentioning the fact that Editor Collins of the Western Review was in Oakland a few days ago. Why he did not pay this paper the respect it deserves by calling at the office, 401 8th street, is unknown, unless he was afraid he would be required to cut the weeds around the Old Folks' home. Accacia Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons will hold their annual Thanksgiving Service Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at Fifteenth St. A. M. E. Church. The Fannie Coppin Club held a' reception Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. E. Brown, 836 34th street, in honor of distinguished visitors in our midst'.

Brown on 61st street, while attending the Grand Session. Lest you forget again we will say that Rev. Lena Mason will be in our midst to conduct revival services at Fifteenth Street A. M. E. Church, beginning with Sunday morning, July 4th. Chaplain Scott left Wednesday, June 10th, for San Jose. Rev. R. D. Arline has been conducting revival services at Beth Eden Baptist Church the past week. Rev. Arline seems to have made a spiritual awakening by his persuasive power. Rev. W. H. Tilman, D.D., of Los Angeles preached a regular old time sermon at Beth Eden Church on last Sunday evening, June 20th. Rev. G. Haines of 1687 10th street is ill at his home with a severe cold. Dr. Purnell has presented his son with a fine auto in honor of his graduation. Lest we forget, July 5, 1915, the I. D. O. K. K. 4th annual picnic at the new Grand Canyon Park at Richmond, Cal. The Sunshine is always glad to print any news sent in from all the churches or from any other source, but the negro editors are too busy to look up news. Mrs. Mary Church Tyrrell, daughter of Mr. Bob Church, one of the wealthiest negroes of the South and wife of Judge Tyrrell of Washington, D. C., was one of the visitors to the Exposition, where she spoke in the negro race. Indge James G. Conlan, one of the judges of the Justice's Court of San Francisco, rendered a judgment against the American Theater, located at 1121 Market street, in that city, in the sum of fifty dollars damages favor of Cyril Saunders, a man, residing at 1020 Saunders street, for their refusal to seat him upon the lower floor of their theater after he mounted a ticket which entitled him to a seat upon that floor. Mr. Saunders was represented by Atorne Oscar Hudson of San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Silas Lars of East Mr. and Mrs. Silas Lear of East Oakland have changed their residence Miss Mollie Primous received sad news from San Jose in regard to the death of her brother, Phil Primous, who died Sunday morning at 2 o'clock and was buried Monday at 2 P. M. He was not only known among the boys in San Jose but Oakland as well. All who knew Phil will miss him, as he was well liked among the public. The Sunshine extends sympathy to Miss Primous and the relatives. Mrs. Massey of 531 Chester street is very ill at her home. Mr. Arthur Wilson is confined to his home, suffering with heartt rouble.

Woodly of San Diego were in attendance at the State Convention of Baptists that met at the North Oakland Church recently. Rev. Woodly was the candidate for State Treasurer on the Socialist ticket last fall and it is claimed that he ran ahead of his ticket in many sections. He preached at the Bethel Church in San Francisco on last Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Stafford of Willow street are making some improvements on their property. The residence is being renovated and an addition being put on. Mr. Stafford is having a large sun room added in the rear, new hardwood floors are being put in, and when completed the house will present an entirely new appearance. Some distinguished guests are looked for at the Stafford home before the summer is over. Dr. W. W. Purnell can go some quick now. If any of our good people should happen to be ill during the small hours of the night don't hesitate about a physician. Just ring up Dr. Purnell, for he has lately purchased a new auto to aid him in his fast growing business, and he will answer all calls immediately if not soon. Mr. James Wilds, son of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Wilds of East Oakland and founder of the Oakland Sunshine, has returned to his home whence he has away twenty-five years ago. Young Wilds has kept in touch with his parents all these years by letter. Some years ago while living in Butte, Montana, he sent his wife and daughter to visit his parents. John A. Wilds, sitting around the fire on last Monday evening, told the son that folks ask him why he did not send the officer after his boy and he always explained to them that he considered it a good riddance of bad rubbish. It seems that the elder Wilds has waited all these years to say this to the prodigal James, and now he feels better, and the mother was certainly happy to lay her eyes on her boy once more. James comes west with a pair of physicians and will not remain long, but will probably return before the Fair is over. Mrs. Sims of East Oakland gave a recital last Wednesday evening at Forresters' Hall to a large and appreciative audience. The affair was free and invitational. The Oakland Literary and Aid Society met on Wednesday evening, June 23d. The society is one of the oldest in the city and is still flourishing. $60 is paid at death and $4 per week sick benefits.

On his recent visit to New York, where, upon invitation, he addressed the members of the board of education and delivered a series of addresses under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, Dr. Booker T. Washington observed closely the efforts of many members of the race who are engaged in business. He found time to investigate carefully and thoroughly the attitude of the race in New York city toward patronizing the business enterprises conducted by its own members, a thing which he always encourages Among the active, well trained and energetic women in this city who are engaged in business for themselves is Mme. Louise W. Hill, whose hair dressing establishment is one of the best in appointment and reliable service in MME. LOUISE W. HILL. this city. Mme. Hill recently moved her business to new quarters near the headquarters of the National League on Urban Conditions. She is devoting her time and talent to the things which make for racial advancement and deserves much credit for the splendid record she has made and is making as a business woman. "It is encouraging to note, as did Dr. Washington while here, the growing sentiment among our people to patronize the business enterprises of the race. Mme. Hill has had several years of experience in her line, to which she has given much time and study at great personal expense in order not only to meet her competitors, but to give the best service to her patrons. Mine. Hill is a fine example of what a woman may accomplish in business if she has the courage, ambition and knowledge to go forward. She has had her struggles, but continues to stick to her profession. If one is to judge from her past efforts, it is only reasonable to predict that with the same painstaking business methods and native ability her future success is assured. CONCORD BAPTIST CHURCH. Brooklyn Congregation Prospers Un- der the guidance of Dr. Dr. W. M. Moss. der Lead of Rev. Dr. W. M. McCarthy Brooklyn—The annual reunion of the Concord Baptist church in this city, the Rev. William M. Moss, D. D., pastor, was held on Monday evening, May 17. Among the features aside from the social mingling of the members were a brief historical sketch of the church given by Dr. Moss, communications from out of town members read by the church clerk, Peter H. Fisher, who has held the position for nearly thirty years; an address by N. B. Dodson, superintendent of the Sunday school, and the reading of the annual report of the board of trustees by Secretary Graham H. Carter. The Concord Baptist church is the largest in membership of any church of the denomination in Brooklyn. Among our people, according to the clerk's records, the total membership is 1,721. Of this number over 500 have joined since the Rev. Dr. Moss became its minister in September, 1910. The report of Secretary G. H. Carter showed receipts for the year with balance brought forward from 1914 of $14,059.44, leaving a cash balance in bank of $13,163.19. The receipts of the Sunday school amounted to $811.33 and expenses $666.48, leaving a balance of $1048.5. The members are co-operating heartily with the officials in an effort to raise the necessary funds for the erection of a new church edifice. Sunday, May 30, is the day on which all the members and friends are asked to contribute toward the building fund. The plans and specifications for the new edifice call for an expenditure of from $05,000 to $70,000. Work on the new structure will begin as soon as the members raise $15,000, including the amount on hand as above mentioned. Dr. Moss is an title leader and eloquent preacher. He came to Concord from the Bank Street Baptist church, Norfolk, V., of which he had been the minister for eight years. He is an alumnus of Virginia Union university at Richmond, Va., and corresponding secretary of the Alumni association.

WEBBER 3306 Adeline Street Berkeley WEST VIRGINIA SUNDAY SCHOOLS Executive Secretary Arthur Thomas Arnold Accords Students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute Liberal Place on the Program—Great Christian Body Practices the Golden Rule. Charleston, W. Va.—At the thirty-third annual convention of the West Virginia Sunday School association, held in this city in May, the teachers and students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute were present in a body. This action was taken by the school upon the invitation of Arthur T. Arnold, the executive secretary of the association. He had invited the school to participate in the general program of the meetings by singing folk songs and the school band marching and playing in both the children's parade and the men's parade. Special seats were reserved for the teachers and students in the First Methodist Episcopal church, where the PETER H. ARTHUR THOMAS ARNOLD. morning session was held. When they had finished their numbers on the program and the presiding officer attempted to go on with the business of the association, there was one continuous ovation on the part of the audience—so much so that the presiding officer was compelled to ask the students to sing one more selection. The following editorial which appeared in the Charleston Daily Mall, reflects the general opinion of those who were present concerning the part taken by the students: "One of the most distinctive features of the state Sunday school convention now in session in the capital which the delegates will carry away with them will be the musical part, especially the part taken by the young men and young women of the West Virginia Collegiate institute. "This delegation from the foremost colored school for higher education among the colored people of West Virginia came up in a body and occupied special seats provided for them at the First Methodist Episcopal church and at the armory. Music is one of the accomplishments of the colored race. The colored people take to music as a duck takes to water, and it is music too. Strong and rich, and soft, the range is wide enough to take in every requirement and to satisfy every demand of the ear attuned to melody. "And not only to the visitors from all parts of the state was this achievement in harmony a revelation. Those at home were also on the list of the surprised and joined heartily in the applause and commendation which were given the institute delegation earnest and without stint. 'Some' singers are those students of the West Virginia Collegiate institute, and the state, which supports the school, has a right to be proud of the showing they made." President Byrd Prillerman is highly gratified at the uniform courtesy with which the students were treated throughout the entire day's proceedings. The officers of the association and the ushers treated not only the school, but all other visiting members of our race at the sessions with absolute fairness. The occasion really marks an epoch in the history of religious gatherings in the south. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Mitchell, the competent music teacher of the West Virginia College institute, deserves much credit for the efficient manner in which the students had been trained for the occasion. Mr. Arthur Thomas Arnold, whose out is shown in this article, is the general secretary of the West Virginia Sunday School association. He is a young man of high character and standing, who believes in liberty and justice for all the citizens of the state according to law and not according to race or color. Mr. Arnold recognizes the struggles of our race to rise in education, business and Christian character, and he may be depended upon at all times to do the square thing by them whenever he comes in contact with them along any line. The race will always stand by such men as Arthur Thomas Arnold. he in trying to help other young men to become proficient and make good. He has earned all that he has or all that he has made in the way of a reputation. He has been doing work along this line for the past sixteen years. When he entered Mehnity nearly twenty years ago he was without money, but he had pluck, push and ambition, backed up by industry, honesty and reliability, and with these he appeared before Dr. G. W. Hubbard, dean of the college, declaring that he desired to be a dentist. He was not afraid of work, but had formed an alliance with it. He worked in the school printing office and during the summer found employment in hotels in various parts of the country. Achievement of the Association For four years he has been president of the Negro Teachers Association of Virginia. Under his direction this organization has become a vital force in the educational affairs of the state among colored people. Through the association's activities and its affiliated organizations the colored people have been inspired to put over $100,000 into their public schools since 1911, when President Long was elected head of the association. In speaking about this good showing a prominent educator has the following to say of President Long: "A moving force in this good showing for improvement in Virginia is the association's president, Professor E. A. Long, principal of the Christiansburg Industrial institute, Cambria, Va. Professor Long took the leadership of the association at a time when it needed a strong hand to guide it, and within the past four years he has organized it into a vital, active force for carrying forward the work of educational efficiency and social uplift throughout the state." President Long's Annual Address. In his annual address President Long said in part: It is significant that just fifty years ago another army captured Richmond. Mid the din of battle and the clash of arms they came into your city. With streamers they paraded your streets, and the drums which to some was the note of victory, was to us the funeral march of slavery, which died here, was buried at Appomattox and which will rise no more. The army fought against the slaves. Today, after the lapse of half a century, a new army which has been fighting that men might have life and have it more abundantly come up and died for the country's future fighting, freed the body of this people, deserve our gratitude and will have their names carved in marble and bronze which must crumble with the lapse of years, but will remain the crest of the emulation of men's souls, my friends will have their names written in the hearts of a grateful people as well as inscribed that hall of fame in the "city with foundations whose builder and maker is died." The state association lays no claim to directing the work of the teachers in their efforts to create better school conditions for furnishes, however, a means for an ex-tenured teacher to prove helpful. There is engendered a friendly rivalry between teachers which helps mightly in the spread of professional zeal. We do collect what has been done by the teachers under their various leadership. In 1912, the record of the progress made from year to year. The first year, 1912, of which we have any authentic record, the sum of $15,233 was raised through the various school leagues, in 1913 $24,938 was raised, in 1914 $29,938 was raised, when the records are all in, we believe it will be over $50,000. Not counting this year, however, more than $20,000 has been put into the public schools by the Negro teachers, and more than $20,000 include work of which no reports were made to this organization. These splendid results have been made possible largely by the supervising teachers under the direction of our own Mr Jackson Davis, a prominent progressive spirit of the new south. It is well to be proud of what has been accomplished, but it is better to remember what is yet to be done. According to the book "The Children in School," children out of school. The summarized reports of the division superintendents show that the capacity of the Negro schoolhouses is 13,553. The records show, however, that there were 11,047 children in the Virginia schools, and there were 13,044 more children enrolled than could be seated in the schools. Let us not forget that there were 14,111 children who were not enrolled. It means that there were 14,111 children in the Virginia schools cannot be accommodated in her schoolhouses at the present time. Here is a situation, my fellow teachers, that calls for your thoughtful consideration of the school authorities to build schoolhouses for our children let us go down into our pockets and build them ourselves. Some of the buildings in which Negro children live in Virginia are built to be able to build magnificent churc edifices in which to parade our hypotheses and show off our fine clothes and see our children to a junk house to imbibe character and get it, too, of the kind you wish the Richmond penitentiary with youthful offenders. Effect of Environment on Character. When we learn to properly appreciate the effect which environment has upon the formation of character we are going to learn to put into effect fine churches and put it into the building of better schools. How about that. Brother Preacher? Perhaps you don't like this and but one more way to say that time has come to ministers of the Gospel have got to preach less about mansions in the skies and more about better schoolhouses in Virginia. If the children are going to be going to have the "For Rent" sign hung on them for lack of tenants. Next in importance to getting a place for the children to go to school is the question of how much money is going enough to make them really effective. It means this, that if you will raise money to extend the school one month the state will put up enough to extend it one month; if you will extend it a half month, you will put up enough to half. With this opportunity before us every Negro school in the state ought to be brought up to an average of at least seven months. And it can be if you want to be a Negro school, earnest Conference with some of the officers of the department of public instruction has convinced me that they are anxious to have our schools get their proportion of this fund. Surely we cannot afford to have a default because we do not rise to our opportunities, as was the case with the graded school fund. I am told that a part of this fund which was set aside for Negro schools was never used because we did not have any my fellow teachers, that we were waking up and claiming our own. We have stood back too long, scared to present our needs because of being afraid of losing our jobs if we ask for what is due to us. Let us stand firm in bitterness, neither by cringing nor fawning, but respectfully and firmly as men who ask men's rights. Nine Local Business Leagues Formed. Local Negro business leagues have been organized recently in Camden, M. J.; Cleburne, Tex.; Springfield, Mo.; Anderson, S. C.; Brinson, Ga.; Ramer, Ala.; Staunton, Va.; Gainesville, Tex and Mason, Teu twenty-three chal and six laboratories fitted with most of the latest equipments. Most of these improvements and progress have been made under Dr. Voorhees' supervision. In the graduating class for this year are thirty-nine students, and they are working hard to finish and then launch out into the world. The demonstrator, Dr. Voorhees, keeps in direct touch with the graduates from his department and is prepared to tell about each of them. He shows what thorough preparation will do for a young man who tries to advance. Useful Book on Business Enterprises. C. H.
