On looking back over 1919 we see the paths of destruction, death and disease of peril by day and by night, through which we have passed, what is coming who can tell, cer this year closes, many may be chilled by the land of death. Whereas, the grim monster death has visited us and with his sickle keen, took from our mildst 35 of our beloved members. In this great destiny man is but a shadow in the will and purpose of the divine Father. We can truly say that the years roll by and steal away the breath that first is gave whate'er we do, where c'er we be we are traveling to the grave, and in their passing from us they have been transplanted from this to a life into which enters no sorrow or pain. Their lives were full of usefulness and they lived with us and proved they were children of the King. They were our friends and comrades but no longer can we see them, they are folded in the embrace of death, yet, we remember them for what they have done and the memory of their beautiful deeds will live forever. Friend after friend departs, who hath not lost a friend. There is no union here of hearts that finds not here an end, and Whereas, we how humbly to His divine will, for he doeth all things well. The battle fought, the victory won. Enter thy Master's joy. Sheen on dear ones unfil that great day when we shall meet to know as we are know Resolved that we tender our heartfelt sympathy to their bereaved ones, commending them to that source from whence the greatest consolations come, be it further Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon a page of the church record, dedicated to their memory and the same be placed for publication in all of our church papers.

SATURDAY DEC 27TH, 1919 EMANCIPATION We come again to the celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation, which elict, uttered out of the fire of civil war, set black men of Africa free from the bonds of chattel slavery. Without analysing how and why it happened, we are glad and grateful for it, and we revere and immortalize the name of Abraham Lincoln, along with Lovejoy, Garrison, Phillips, Douglass, and the others. We have recovered from the joys and exhilaration of having been set free; and we are staking and stretching our limbs and griding ourselves to accomplish the great purposes for which we were set free. It must have been a sacred and ideal purpose. God, who directed it, must have given us a high commission in 1805, and he must be even today sitting in observation and judgment upon us in the discharge of that high mission. If we are good, strong men and women, deserving of the high responsibility and trust which the experiences of our race in America have thrust upon us, we will sense our position, our opportunity and our duty in this particular. We will avail ourselves of every chance to forward the interests of those purposes which inspired our freedom. We will conserve and increase our strength, of all sorts, to meet the issues which concern our objective, to defeat it. Thank God, we are coming to realize our duty, and many of us are curiously and unselfishly accepting it. We are feeling "free"; we are coming to feel that we deserve a man's chance, we are realizing we must fight for it; and we have enlisted to do that. We must break up lynching. We must increase our economic strength. We must improve morally and culturally. We must increase our general efficiency. We must co-operate intensively. We must get together everywhere. We must respect and prefer one another. We must hear each other's burdens. We must not forget God. These make up the creed of successful race groups. This is the history of the world. In the new year, so help me God, we will fight under this flag, and for the enthronement of these principles of justice and brotherhood, without fear and cringing, because these principles are eternal and right. We all enlist. MEDALS AND HEROES Admiral Sims, who commanded the American Naval Forces in European waters in the great war, has refused to accept the Distinguished Service Medal from the Secretary of the Navy and has sent back a stinging criticism charging most flagrant unfairness and injustice to the scores of men who served under him. He claims that many men whose ships were submarined have been honored, while heroes whose daring and bravery under great responsibility were conspicuous, have been neglected. He even goes so far as to claim that favored men, including relatives of those making the awards, have been honored contrary and out of proportion of his recommendations, and in this connection cites the case of Commander Worth Bagley. Secretary Daniel's brother-in-law, who was singled out for an especial honor, although he lost is shine while the man who rescued Bagley from drowning was neglected. Admiral Sims makes the point and worthily too, that it is impossible for any board to decide the relative merits of under-officers or men with the degree of accuracy and fairness of their superior officers, and that no board ought have the right to go back of his recommendations. This, he claims, has been done in so many cases, and is so manifestly unfair and noticeable that it has tended to destroy the e-fletter to the Secretary says: "In short, efficiency and break down the merale and discipline of the navy. Admiral Sims, commenting in his letter to the Secretary says: "In fact, it must always be impossible for a board or any outside authority so to modify the estimate of relative merit of the services of officers in an organization as made by their immediate and active superior in command without inflicting actual injustice, and this necessarily defeats the whole obf or merit in time of war." ject of instituting a system of awards The high rating of Admiral Sims not alone by Americans but by the British and French who had the better chance to know that high character and distinction of his services to the allied cause, will cause this sharp charge to provoke no little sensation. Congress will no doubt send the probe deep into this serious affair, which resembles in many respects the acadia over that greatest American de- 9 KEMPER HARRELD, the well-known Atlanta Violinist, who will appear at Masonic Temple Jan 6 corations, this Medal of Honor, which began in 1865 and lasted over fifty years, till 1919, when Congress withdrew the medals from underserving and deserving alike. It would seem that to some extent many of the departments of the army have been prostituted to the purposes and advantage of-such who were in position to do so. American public opinion has not quite forgiven the pigeon-holing of Leonard Wood and Col Charles Young, to say nothing of the refusal to accept the proffers of trained veterans like the distinguished Roosevelt and others like him; nor has the Negro forgotten the many denials of studied discrimination as it was practiced and allowed in the lines in Europe.

C., Dec.-Negro births in South Carolina during the first ten months of 1919 show a decrease of 2,064 as compared with the same period of time for 1918, according to the annual report of the bureau of vital statistics, now being made up. White births show an increase of 219 over the figures for 1918. The decrease in the Negro birth rate is accounted for by C. W. Miller, chief clerk of the vital statistics bureau, on the theory "that large numbers of Negroes have left the state in the past few years, and when the Census for 1920 is taken it will be found that the Negro population has been largely over estimated." The Negro migration from South Carolina to Northern and central western cities in the early part of the year was widely commented upon, but as they left as a rule in small bodies the extent of the movement may not have been fully realized. The decrease in the number of births in a single year of more than 2,000 caused much comment at the health office. The Negro births for 1918 totaled 17,527. The total for 1919 was 15,463. The white births for the same two years were 14,793 and 15,012 respectively. DOUBLES ITS MEMBERSHIP New York, Dec. 20th—Race riots and lynchings in 1919 have only served to increase the determination of Negroes throughout the United States to organize to wipe out these evils, according to announcement made today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose membership more than doubled in the year. "Colored people of the United States are awake as never before to the need of organizing," said the announcement, "to obtain justice and maintain peace. The membership of this association, which was 18,427 in November 1917, jumped to 40,729 in November 1918, and more than doubled this, reaching 88,292 on the first of December 1919. "The number of branches throughout the country jumped from 80 in 1917 to 145 in November 1918, and was more than doubled in the current year, reaching 310 on December first last. 1920 AND BACE BIOTS Demand Against Jim-crow Cars by Senate Gives needed Test on Presidency Washington, D.

The issue is abolition of the iniquitous Jimcrow car in interstate travel by inducing some senator to introduce a simple amendment for bidding the segregation of passengers for color in interstate travel and inducing other senators to support, and push the amendment to the railroad bill. The need is for individuals and race organizations to write or telegraph this week to their senators to offer and push such an amendment. Also to bombard Senator Cummins, chairman, to do or give the race a hearing. The National Equal Rights League is already doing this and urges all to set Another opportunity also presents itself in this connection in as much as Senator Harding of Ohio, Howard Sutherland of West Virginia, and Poindexter of Washington are out for the Republican presidential nomination. By requesting these to offer the amendment, not only should the race get it done, but no better test can be had to find out whether they will stand up for the race if nominated and elected to the presidency. It is vital for the race in the states of these three senators to deluge them with requests immediately. In fact let them receive requests from other states also.

Dear Sir:- As one of the delegates elected to represent our church at the General Conference next May 1920, I desire tor tell the public and the generat cLurch the troe status of affairs as I saw and witnessed at Swainsboro, Ga. There was in attendance less than forty (40) delegates, and when the council was ealled and the officers elect ed, the resolutions which were read and passed, had its minority oppossers, and I happened to fall in fhat class. After considerable discussion pro and con, tere wis a motion made and passed by Jess than thirty four (24) delegates endorsing Dr. W, SX. Foun- tain for the bishopric. I mean by this,-that out of the cighty five (85) delegates elected in this state, that there were less than forty of them pres ent at the Georgia Ministerial Council, and of those present, Dr. Fountain did get the largest vote, fot Dr. Wm. D. Jotnson did nat stay in the council, as he together with myself and a num- bef of others could not swallow the “gag” part of the resolution, which they endeavored to force every dele- gate present to go with the majority in everything, which the majority wanted passed. Dr. J. A, Hadley, 1. H. Smith, C. A. Wingfield, W. G. Alexander, N. Bembry, R. L. Heard and T A Townsley would not suffer to be “gagged” off in such a manner. Drs. L. B. Smith, Allen Cooper, L. A. Towns ley, J. A. Hadley and C. A. Wingfield openly announced that they ‘would support two men from Georgia, and Dr. Wm. D. Johnson was openly naned as one, I don't think Dr. Hadley said that he would support Dr. Fountain. I am sure that % told Dr. Fountain that I was going to support him and Dr. ‘Johnson. ‘There is no need of any one trsing to disguise or deny the fact, Dr. Wm. D. Joknson has a strong following in this state, and this will be seen as time goes by. I have said tothe lead- ers and delegates, that Georgia can easily, afford to offer Drs. Jobnson and Fonntain, and no matter what the newspapers say, Pr. Johnson will have to be reckoned with everywhere inthis great A. M. FE. charch, I am a friend of Dr. Fountain, and have ever stood by him. (and I have not de- serted him now) and have nearly had fisticnifs in his defense, but I am frank to say. that there isno earthly use, neither is ubere any Wisden in uny set of men tying to put Wm, D. Johnson upon the sacrificial altar in trying to put my friend of long stand. ing, Dr. W. A. Fountain into the bish- opric. Tam not for the division of strength of the Georgia delegation, but | know that if the Georgia Ministerial Councit attempt to whip men in line at the sacrifice of men, measnres and principles, there will be a mighty rambling somewhere, Let the article read, Dr. Wm. A, Fountain was overwhelmingly endars: ed by Iess that thirty-four of the del egates elected in Georgia. The truth of the whole matter is, there were qnly thirty-nine (39) delecates in Swainsboro, Ga., cut of -cighty-five elected. Dr. Wm. B. Johnson will eas. AM THE MAN!

Our Christmas Savings Club for 1920 Now Open Mechanics Savings Bank 721 West Broad Street Boston, D. C.—Dr. Emmett J. Secretary and treasurer of Howe University, announces that Colo- Theodore Roosevelt, son of the former President of the United States, has accepted the suggestion of Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University, that his name be proposed for election as a member of the Howard University board of trustees at the meeting of the board to be held in February. President Roosevelt, in speaking of Howard University some years ago, said, "It is from this institution that are graduated those who will lead and teach their less fortunate fellows. Upon their leading and teaching much depends for their race and their country. I have a peculiar interest in Howard University because of having seen the effects of their close at hand." The former president's son has some thing of the same peculiar interest in Howard University, and is planning to cooperate in every way possible with the officials of the university in putting under way the great reconstruction and reorganization program of the university, which has assumed a new lead ership and has attained, as has been aptly said, a new conception of her mission, through aiming practically and deliberately at meeting the national demand in race leadership, and thus fulfilling her proper duty and mission as the national institution for the high er and professional education of colorful youth. --- TO AGITATE NIGRO OP- PRESSION IN UNITED STATES New York, N.

One long weary year has passed since God called you home, but we will bow in humble submission, your going being God's holy will. It is a bitter pain a shock severe to part with one we love so dear, but, there is no pain in that fair land, life, joy and peace go hand in hand. A land that is free from every pain, And we hope to meet again; How happy were the br-gone days When our circle was complete. But now its broken, one is gone To live at Jesus' feet; Twas sad to say "good-bye" to her, When she was called away, But God knew best.. to Him we'll bow; We'll meet again some day.
