State Historical Society SENTENCE FOR LIE High Court of Illinois Rules That of Original Court and Therefore County Court—Triumph Throughout Country Contrary Bundy Given Ovation in On Most Favorable Impression (Special to The Monitor) SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Dec. 30.—A favorable decision was rendered here Monday, December 20, in the famous case of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, former East St. Louis dentist, who was sentenced March 28, 1919, to life imprisonment for conspiracy to murder, in connection with the East St. Louis massacre in which scores of Negroes, men, women and children were done to death with unbelievable brutality at the hands of a white mob, July 2 and 3, 1917. Dr. Bundy, who urged his people to protect themselves, was charged with conspiracy to murder in connection with the killing of two detectives during the riots. He fled to Ohio and fought extradition until passion had cooled. The governor of Ohio refused to surrender him to Illinois, until Illinois had deposited $500,000 with the state of Ohio as a guarantee for Dr. Bundy's safe conduct. He was tried at Waterloo, Ill., one of the most prejudiced towns in Illinois, was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. The supreme court of Illinois here Monday reversed the decision of the lower court and granted the dentist a new trial, declaring that errors were contained in the verdict, which sentenced him to life imprisonment at his trial at Waterloo, Ill., almost two years ago. A special telegram from court officials at Springfield and personal friends of the dentist in this city informed him of the court's findings. Dr. Bundy is now practicing dentistry in Cleveland, O. Make $25,000 Bond Chief Justice Orin N. Carter of the state supreme court ordered the release of Dr. Bundy from the southern Illinois penitentiary on Friday, March 19, last, pending the disposal of an appeal to that court. The dentist had completed several months of a sentence to life for murder in connection with the slaying of Detectives Coppege and Wodley (white) of the East St. Louis police force. The court made the bond $25,000, pending final disposition of the case. Writ is Heard Attorneys Hueston and Calloway of Kansas City, Mo., represented Dr. Bundy at the time, and obtained his release on a writ of supersedes. Chief Justice Carter, who at the request of Justice Duncan, also a member of the supreme court, heard the application and passed upon the proceedings. In granting the release Chief Justice Carter said: "It appears to me, upon due consideration of the record and abstract thereof, and the brief and argument of counsel, that there is serious and prejudicial error in the record of the crime of which he stands convicted and supersedes is herein granted." Trial at Waterloo It is charged that at the time of the Bundy trial at Waterloo, Ill., race prejudice was openly permitted in order to obtain a conviction. The presiding judge favored the prosecuting attorney in all angles of the case, denying Bundy's lawyers objections to the procedure at various intervals of the trial. It was further charged that jurors were selected at the behest of the state because of the peculiar fitness to serve the purpose desired. Insane Juror The word "nigger" was permitted to be used in reference to Dr. Bundy and his efforts to uplift his people at East St. Louis.

Doctor Bundy was heard in Omaha last July when he spoke here under the auspices of a citizens' committee of which the Rev. John Albert Williams was chairman. He was given an ovation by an audience which packed Grove M. E. church to the doors and upon which the simple recital of the tragic events through which he had passed made a profound impression. A liberal contribution was given at that time towards his defense fund.

This statement was made recently by George Rambo, president of the Brazilian-American Colonizing Syndicate, in the course of an address on the general opportunities for Negroes in the republic of Brazil. In a later interview he declared: "Not only are there good business openings for live people but there are splendid opportunities for successful ventures in the fields of manufacturing. Ice, cotton goods, leather articles and furniture making offer inviting chances to make money for anyone who has fair knowledge in these several directions. This would apply particularly to the large number of towns and small cities in the interior sections of the republic. "Most all structural iron, fabricated metals such as gas and electric fixtures are imported into the country. This is also true of the better grades of office and household furniture, shoes, clothing, men and women's furnishings, in fact one can include most of the manufactured necessities in the list of things that could be made and sold to profitable advantage in nearly every section of this rich country. "The government encourages home production of necessities by maintaining a high protective tariff on all manufactured imports. The wisdom of the government, in this connection, is sustained by the great abundance of raw materials available everywhere that but awaits the disposition to turn them into manufactured products. I HOMESTEADER IS (By the Associated Negro Press) BILLINGS, Mont., Dec. 30.—E. F. Lampson, a homesteader, near Tuffley, was burned to death in his cabin, a possse having set fire to it after an allnight riffle and revolver battle and numerous attempts to dynamite the house. Lampson perhaps fatally wounded Sheriff Jesse Garfield, who had gone to the cabin to arrest him for suspected insanity. (By the Associated Negro Press) SELMA, Ala., Dec. 30.—The Payne University, one of Selma's well known schools, will, after the present session, be moved to Montgomery, where grounds and buildings have been purchased for its use. The board of trustees of the school have acquired the property of the old St. Joseph Catholic school, together with all buildings and properties and about 200 acres of land. The St. Joseph school is situated about three miles from Montgomery. The purchase price of the property was said to be $30,000. WOMAN 100 DIES; BELIEVED (By the Associated Negro Press PORT DEPOSIT, Md., Dec. 30. Mrs. Mary Ringold, more than 100 years old, died recently. Mrs. Ringold was the widow of Thomas Ringold, at one time one of the most prosperous merchants of Port Deposit. He was reputed to be comparatively wealthy, but at the time of his death his hoard could not be located and his widow would not allow her home to be invaded by searchers. His friends have maintained the belief, however, that the money will be found now that the obstacle is removed. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! again emphasize, however, that the people who go to Brazil must possess a good working knowledge of the business and trades they wish to follow, and they must also acquire a reasonable acquaintance with the Portuguese language which is spoken in the country. "But the cultivation of the land," continued Mr. Rambo, "is the shortest and most practical way to success in Brazil. You can't miss it if you go this way. Land is cheap, land is fertile, as fertile as it is anywhere on the earth. There is no place that I know about where land is as cheap and as good as it is in Brazil. And there is no end to crops. You sow and you reap, and you sow and you reap again. It is almost an endless proposition, this crop matter in Brazil. This makes farming a profitable investment. The market is ever ready, both domestic and foreign, for your products and labor effort is quite a negligible question in the investment. Any place in the Brazilian republic will serve the purpose of the man who desires to enjoy a profitable farm life, for that is what farming means in Brazil. "I am confining myself to a short presentation of the advantages offered in the fields of manufacturing and farming in the republic of Brazil at this time. At some other time I shall be glad to make a statement regarding the mineral wealth of the country and the profits that can be realized in cattle and general live stock raising." Mr. Rambo will be in the United States for several months. He is actively engaged in presenting the claims of Brazil as a desirable place for ambitious colored people to settle in. He is meeting with considerable success in this connection. AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the American Negro Acadamy was held at the Dumbar High school, the attendance being large. John W. Cromwell, president, took as the subject of his address, "The Challenge of the Disfranchised." The Rev. Charles D. Martin also delivered an address. One of the features of the session was the exhibit of rare prints, portraits, manuscripts, books and other interesting products of Negro culture. J. Weldon Johnson of New York City spoke on "Some Phases of the Haitian Situation," which, in view of the report of the court of inquiry recently made public, was very interesting, timely, and was well received. WEALTHY TEXAN PLACES FORT WORTH. Tex., Lec. 30.—What is said to be one of the largest and most expensive cemetery monuments in Fort Worth is the one which is being set up in Trinity cemetery by William M. (Gooseneck Bill) McDonald in memory of his son, who died about three years ago. The shaft is thirty-one feet high, of polished granite and cost $12,000. It was made by a Chicago concern, whose manager, Josef Rittemeyer, is here to superintend its erection. It required three weeks to set the derrick and lift the monument upon its base. Rittemeyer is editor of the Monument Reporter, one of the oldest trade journals in the country, and a former Texan who is renewing old acquaintances while in Forth Worth. McDonald is one of the best known Negro politicians and business men in the state. Anna Belle's Dinner By AGNES G. BROGAN Anna Belle had come to her last fifteen cents; it was as bad as that Anna Belle had been homeless, indeed, since grandma Brown died. The motherless baby had been safe in the old woman's care, and when grandma Brown grew to be in need of constant care herself, Anna Belle most gratefully had given it. Now that it became necessary for the girl to earn her livelihood in the big unaccustomed city, she found how unfitted the simple round of home duties left her for greater tasks. The business world was a very confusing place in its exactions for 'experience.' Every advertisement that Anna Belle sought out so eagerly, ended with that disappointing requirement. As Anna Belle went, like a small gray nun in her woolen suit and gray hat down the walk, she stooped to pluck a scarlet bloom to fasten beneath her own rose cheeks, and considered what would be best to buy with fifteen cents. One roll and a cup of coffee, she decided, would be all that she might expect, so Anna Belle made her way into the inviting Dutch interior of the cafeteria. She carefully followed the others with her appropriated tray, keeping her face resolutely from the tempting array of food before her, one roll and a cup of coffee was to be her entire allotment. Perhaps, she thought hopefully, the scant meal would take the edge at least from her healthy country appetite; but alas! the roll and coffee were all insufficient. It was not until she had finished, busy with her troubled reflections, that Anna Belle saw the doughnut. It was a tempting, taunting doughnut, deliciously light and brown, with an odor of hidden nutmeg like grandma Brown's own. Suddenly tears and memories clouded the girl's eyes. That the doughnut was part of a satisfying meal belonging to an opposite table companion, Anna Belle did not realize. She only knew all at once, that she was miserable, penniless and alone. And then, more to screen her tear-filled eyes than in hope of finding work, she unfurled the newspaper she had bought that morning, and scanned again it's 'Help Wanted' pages. When she lowered the paper, her table companion had departed, leaving a half-finished meal behind him. The doughnut was gone—she noted that, but there was a savory slice of ham, some glorious browned potatoes, a slice or two of tomato on its lettuce leaf. Anna Belle hesitated no longer. The voice of hunger was more insistent than that of convention, why waste food which was discarded? She helped herself rapidly from the opposite dishes, and rapidly ate, and as she finished, a pleasant-faced young man slipped into the recently-vacated chair opposite and placed his tray before him. There was another doughnut on this tray and a steaming cup of coffee, but Anna Belle was tempted no longer. With hunger appeased, her bright courage returned. "Beg pardon," said the young man quickly, "and please don't be offended at my question. I see you are interested in the Help Wanted Female department. Could it be just possible that you are looking for employment? Because if you are," he added hastily, "our firm is in urgent need of an office woman." Anna Belle gasped. Then she smiled. It was a sad little smile and she shook her head. "Experienced of course," she quoted. "Not necessarily," the young man answered eagerly. "Fact is, we are hoping to train a girl, making her competent for our own needs, you understand. And we'd be willing if she was—well, worth while," finished the young man honestly, "to take her on and coach her. Dad has his own ideas regarding his own office. Here is his card, and if you can drop in there between three and four this afternoon, I'll have paved the way for your coming." Anna Belle stared from the engraved card back to the young man's kindly face. The firm stated was one whose advertisement she had yesterday answered and been repulsed. But the young man with a nod was gone, and Anna Belle still holding the card, and with new hope in her heart, went out to begin her long walk to the destination office. And so strange and unexpected is life, that when she had reached full competency in her new accepted work, and was giving the greatest satisfaction, Anna Belle decided to give that work up altogether. The junior partner of the firm had persuaded her most happily, that her true place in life was at his own side, while the senior member gladly gave consent. "You may know now, dear." Anna Belle told her lover, "how very much you have done for me. Why, when we first met, I had only fifteen cents left to buy my dinner, and—" "I know," that young man cheerfully responded, "and, so you ate mine. I had just gone after an extra doughnut and a cup of coffee, you see, when you did it." "Jack!" exclaimed the girl, "you don't mean that you were the first man at the table!" "I'm afraid," Jack said tenderly, "that your eyes were too full of tears at the time to see very well, my dear, but there never will be any more tears if I can help it." And Jack kept his word.

The philanthropy of almsgiving was to Him a mere cloak for the imperfections and inequities of human relations. He put all the emphasis of His teaching and example upon justice and love. In a world where these prevailed charity would be unnecessary. We have traveled so far from the ideals of Jesus it is not easy to restore them. But there is no other way to find a per- manent solution for the troubles that disturb us. His road is the only road. It involves sacrifice. We cannot avoid the cross, But beyond Calvary lies the realization of our hopes. It is not enough that the spirit of Jesus should be wor- shiped in our temples or revered in our homes. It is not enough that His sympathy and help should be expressed in our hos- pitals, our orphanages, our institutions sop the poor and the afflicted. To be satisfied with this is to evade the real challenge of His message and to lose the real meaning of His promise. The spirit of Jesus must be brought into factory and mine and bank and railroad system; into store and office. It must reveal to us that man is more than the machine with which he works; that material wealth was meant to be the servant, not the master, of the human soul; that the mak- ing of a life is the supreme thing, for which the making of a livelihood is merely incidental. Until we get this vision, we will aprmach the solution of our problems without true understanding. It is time that men who believe ie Jesus should make their faith count—not merely in religious observance, but in human relations; in civic duty; in business; in industrial man- agement; in the tasks of office and workshop. The hope of the world rests upon the leadership of Jesus. Start the New Year Right | Lia a sys kee AVE that long = eS.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE THE BUNDY CASE THE Monitor has received frequent inquiries from those who heard Dr. Bundy when he was here last July and made such a splendid impression as to what disposition had been made of his case. We are pleased to be able to answer that question by an article which will be found elsewhere in this issue. The Monitor has not the slightest doubt that the new trial, which has been granted, will result in Dr. Bundy's acquittal. The success achieved so far shows what can be done by intelligently-directed, united effort in a fight for justice. The Bundy case also demonstrates the fact that among our race can be found some of the ablest legal minds of the country. FOR IRELAND'S CAUSE WE have refrained hitherto saying anything about the struggle for independence being carried on in Ireland. Later, we shall give an analysis of the situation for our readers as we understand it. Whatever other factors may enter into it this one fact is quite apparent, it is part of the travail through which smaller nations and nationalities are passing for the right of self-determination, a right which no one who believes in democracy can deny. NO, it is not the dying year that suggests this topic; but certain things which have been forced to our attention lately and calls for comment. One of these matters is extravagance at funerals. We learned the other day of two funerals one that of a washerwoman and the other that of a laborer upon whose burials nearly $800 each was expended. Such things are a sin and a shame! Such cases may be rare, but they demonstrate an extravagance which cries for reform. Another place for reform in funerals among our people is in the case of ceremonies which consume half a day. Make the ceremonies briefer and then at some subsequent time have memorial services with resolutions, etc., galore, but they are out of place in the funeral obsequies. SHOULD BE FAIR THE Monarch cabaret has been denied a license. The real reason for it, if anyone should ask you, is not that it differed one whit in its management or general patrons from many other cabarets to which licenses were granted, except that, in keeping with the civil rights bill of Nebraska, it admitted both races, while they, in violation of that law exclude Negroes, but because it did so admit the public and was drawing largely from the patronage of the less popular "garden," "cabarets," et al., not far distant from the same vicinity. There's the milk in the cocoanut. Those who have withheld the license should be honest enough to give the real reason. They should at least be fair. SNYCOPATED SPASMS AMONG the old books left us by grandad is an old wornout, green-covered volume known as "The Royal Path of Life." We never read it nowadays because we figure that the book and grandad are both out of date and decaying back numbers. But in the aforesaid book there is a chapter on Character. Now some of us blossoms of garlic may think that character is out of date, but it isn't. We need character today just as much as we needed it 'steen thousand years ago. A man or woman without character is just the same as grape juice without a kick in it. If you feel that you can tamper with wrong and get away with it, you are seeing cross-eyed and it won't be many moons before your dogs will slip and you will FUNERALS go into the sack with the rest of the human wrecks and junk. Go in strong for character. Every race leader from abacus to zizard has always got a long string of puny chatter about what the race needs, but seldom do you ever hear of one planting his foot on the loud pedal and hollering character. As a rule he hasn't much of it himself and for that reason he can't quack about something he doesn't know anything about. But character is the thing. Start building a character as soon as you are knee high to a duck. If you don't know how to build one, read the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. If they don't fix you out al humpididdy, then after you have read, digested and otherwise thoroughly eaten up the aforesaid, start on a still hunt for further information. The man or woman without a character isn't worth two whips in the warm place they call hell. They might be able to get along swimmingly for a moon or two, but after a bit the public will get hep to them and they won't have any more chance among men than a fly will have trying to explore the web of a spider. But don't imagine that our race is the only race that needs character. Only the other day the big business men of the U. S. A. decided to hold a convention next year and the keynote of it is to be the fostering of character among the business men of the whole country. Everybody needs it. There are 110,000 colored residents in the city of Baltimore. That forms quite a respectable group of brunettes by itself and is an increase of nearly 30 per cent in the decade. At the same time the colored population in Louisville has fallen off. Prohibition hasn't had anything to do with the movement, either. "OUT OF DATE" (Boston (Mass. Post) It is about half a century since that after-clap of the civil war—Ku Klux Klan—made a noise through the southern states. To such an extent was it successful in disturbing conditions in that section, that the "Force Bill" of 1871 was passed by congress authorizing the president to make use of the army and navy to suppress it. Even the writ of habeas corpus was suspended in cases of offenders; the courts made short work with them. It is like a leaf from ancient history that we read of the revival of an organization of the same name in the state of Virginia which is making lively demonstrations along similar lines.

On Thursday night they actually held a "mass meeting" in the municipal auditorium. It does not appear, however, that this demonstration will survive the action of local authority looking to its suppression. The times have changed. It is out of date. LOOKING BACKWARD As we near the close of another year we are mindful of the past twelve months. Taking a retrospective view, we are asking ourselves the question, have we lost anything, or have we gained anything? The pessimist will cite the lost opportunities and bemoan our shortcomings. The optimist will cite our achievements and good fellowship. These are some of the things to be argued by different minds. Let us take stock, just as a business man would of his wares. Let us be perfectly honest with ourselves. As a group, we surely can point to achievements during the past twelve months that were never before ours, but have we done our best? Have we lived up to our highest opportunities? It is true that here and there a shining light has brilliantly shone among us, but the masses must be considered in measuring our distances. In a political way, there were eleven race men elected to legislative offices throughout the country, which is the largest number ever before recorded in favor of the race during any one year. This to us, looks like real progress. But when we think of the opportunities that we we had whereby we might have elected twice that number, it looks somewhat like climbing a notch and falling back a notch. In looking backward, we can see our mistakes. The future is a dark veil but we have the past upon which to look back. Looking backward we see many battles fought, while the onlookers are asking, have we lost anything, or have we gained anything? We all have made mistakes which are common to humankind. As we look back and see them, we note they are many. Wise are they who will profit by their mistakes.—St. Louis. Arces. (By William Pickens What illusions we live by. For example, whenever anybody says "shootin' dice" or "seven come eleven," we all think of Negroes and we grin—we see black faces and shiny eyes. Why? Because for generations the newspapers, the comic page and the comic writer have associated dice and colored people. But I paid a couple of visits to Juarez, Mexico, where American white people come over to gamble and drink on absolute equality with "greasers" and "niggers." And whom do you suppose I saw "rolling the bones" with the greatest fascination and most perfect zest? American white women in high-heeled shoes and silks. Not a colored woman in sight and just a few colored men. But would you ever suppose so, from what you read in print and picture? How would it look in our comic pages, if after showing those ragged Negro boys on their knees in an alley, and those Negro "deacons" and "elders" rolling dice on the floor of that cabin, we should put alongside of them that American white woman, dressed in the height of fashion, with diamonds on her hands and rubles in her ears, while men of all races stand around and stack their coins, throw- (Pronounced U-FALL-ER) BEAUTY PREPARATIONS The World's Fountain of Beauty Secrets ILLUSIONS A Ha ANDRE Coloree Star C 27th and L We thank you one and neighbors if they were not they had the money—and same.

ABOUT THE FOURTH ESTATE (By the Associated Negro Press) The Tulsa Star's Christmas number is a whale. An illustrated title page and nineteen pages of solid reading and advertising matter comprise the holiday effort of our good friend Smitherman. This is enterprise with a vengeance. More power to the Star. May she live long and get out Christmas numbers until all other stars refuse to shine. It may not be amiss to note in passing that Montgomery, Ala., has been making it pleasant for Miss Mary Vaughn, the business editor of the Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Union. Miss Vaughn will be remembered by the craft as one of the able and progressive women in the South. She is making a mark in Murfreesboro, where she is held in high regard by its citizens of both races. The Omaha (Neb.) Monitor is standing up strong in the limelight of our journalism. Father John Albert Williams is putting real life into its pages and giving us an editorial department that rings true in spirit. The Monitor's stand on the commission form of government as it operates in the city of Omaha was clear sighted and brave. It is this sort of thing that is going to give character to the Negro journals throughout the country. Long life, Brother Williams. Keep up the good work.

Reporter. ST. PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN The organization service, in which the temporary name of Seward Street Presbyterian church was changed to the official name noted in the heading of this article, was well attended and much interest was manifested by all present. Sickness and other causes prevented eleven of the twenty-seven signers of the petition for the organization being present. These, however, will be considered charter members of the organization, as will also any others who join with us before the church is enrolled in Presbytery, which will be about two weeks hence. The sermon by Rev. J. W. Pressly from Matt. x:32 was exceptionally strong and convincing and its impression upon the attentive audience was very manifest. The double quartet choir sang quite well. The solo work of Mrs. Hutten, Mrs. Shackleford and Miss Ruth Alexander deserves special commendation. Ruling Elder R. A. McEckron of the North Presbyterian church and a member of the commission of organization, was present and gave a very encouraging talk congratulating the newly organized church. It being impossible for Dr. Hutten to be present, his ordination and installation as ruling elder will take place at another time. Sermon topics next Sunday will be as follows: "A Call to Service," 11 a. m.; "Those Whom Jesus Loved," 7:30 p. m. The Phi Delta Girls held their annual Christmas affair in the form of a formal dancing party this year instead of the Christmas eve party, at the home of Mrs. Wade Hampton Green, 2863 Ohio street. Twenty-five couples of the young set were present. Camp Fire girls will hold all future meetings at the Y. W. C. A. Friday afternoons at 3:30 o'clock.

PAINT OF QUALITY shall not have died for us in vain; but we as men and women will continue to have faith in the promise that God made to Abraham. God promised Abraham from thy seed all families of the earth should be blessed. The order teaches us that to be blessed we must first learn the lesson that our Father Christ Jesus taught his disciples, and is known as the Golden Rule, which reads: "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you." To learn this lesson, we must also lean on the foundation of this grand old order, which are friendship, love and truth. Friendship: The most precious of earthly possessions. Love: The tie that binds, the force that links earth to Heaven. Truth: The greatest force in mortal mind, the one virtue that overshadows and spreading out its wings, covers all the virtues. The rulers of this earth did not apply the Golden Rule, and their actions caused the world war, which war made more widows, more orphans, and caused the expenditure of more money than any other calamity known in the history of the world. With the war ended so far as guns and ammunition is concerned the war for the rights and justice of the common people has begun. The nations of the earth are in a great crisis, unrest and distress are in every locality, and the burdens of the common people are increasing daily. The cause? In Israel's time three dominant elements ruled, viz., the king and his household, constituting the professional politicians; the princes, nobles and Pharisees, which embraced the wealthy, prominent and influential citizens; and the rabbis, scribes and priests, forming the clergy of that time. Those three elements formed a conspiracy against the common people. Jehovah warned them time and again and showed them his remedy whereby they could avoid a great punishment and be restored to his favor. They ignored the divine remedy and the result was their overthrow. The prophecy was fulfilled on Israel, and the same conspiracy against the common people is going on today at a rapid pace. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows teaches us that the same warning that was given Israel, is given to that class of people which is governing this earth or the inhabitants of this earth and the prophecy on Israel was fulfilled and it is sure to be fulfilled on the people of this earth, unless the divine remedy is heeded. Every sober-minded person should stop and consider and profit by the events of the past. Some people have said that the Odd Fellows do not live up to the principles of their order. It is by no means an easy task to accomplish all the good in life without having them mingled with bad. Christ Jesus organized the church through his apostles, and from that time many have strayed from the straight and narrow path, few stepped out of line but in every corner of this THE MONITOR McGILL & DAVIS Cafe and Pool Hall Free employment for Armour and Dold packers. - 2516 Q St. Lawyers JAMES M.

D. 3, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows has been used as a vehicle to convey the message of our crucified Saviour to the men on the highways and reach and pull from the slums of this old sin-cursed world men and women bring them to the sacred altar in our temple and ask of them. Do you believe that Christ is? Then and there he must make a confession of his past wrongs, call upon the Ruler of the universe to assist him in ever keeping himself clean and spotless from the world. In the foundation of the grand old order is written a remedy and cure for the world's ills. The love for mankind which means practicing of the three principles of the order. Those principles are Friendship, Love and Truth. Then and not until then will we have faith in the commandment, Thou shall have none other Gods, before me.

There was a case where a female bob-tailed sheep dog made friends with an old hen which shared its kennel. When the animal had puppies the bird brooded over them and kept them warm during the mother's absence. N. W. WARE, Attorney Notice to Non-Resident Defendant To Percy O.
