NATIONAL JUBILEE OF THE Y. W. C. A. WELFARE ASS'N TO BE HELD BY EVERY Y. W. C. A. IN THIS COUNTRY FROM FEBRUARY 1, TO MARCH S. PHYLYS WHEATLEY BRANCH WILL CELIERATE IN NEW HOME Fifty years ago the Y. W. C. A. became an organization in the United States. As a grand climax to this half century's efforts, a national jubilee is to be held by every Y. W. C. A. in this country, from February 1 to March 3, inclusive. Through this National Jubilee it is believed possible to bind the thinking, working and praying forces of the association together more closely; to bring to all members a fresh appreciation of the faithful work of those who have made our present association possible; to make the public in general conscious of the many and varied needs of our girls and women, which are not met by the present conditions; by giving their spiritual as well as financial support to the Y. W. C. A., opportunities will be made to meet these needs. We are earnestly urging every member and friend of the Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. to enter into the spirit of this national jubilee. An outline of the work of the jubilee is as follows: February 1-7. Pioneer Days. February 8. Members' Rally and Jubilee Banquet. February 21. Separate activities culminating in a program in which all departments participate. February 22. "Girls of Yesterday and Today" (historical pageant). February 23-26. Days of giving. February 27 to March 2. Days of consecration. March 3. Fiftieth Birthday Service. Y. W. C. A. REGITAL The Educational Committee of Wheatley Branch Y. W. C. A. will present Miss Myrtle A. Burgess, Y. W. C. A. piano teacher, a pianoforte Thursday evening, February 3, at 8 p. m.

The St. Louis Argus To the Editors of The St. Louis Argus and the Fraternal Clarion; The article shows that the union had decided if they could not 'get me' by honest means they would use false methods for they have credited to me words that are absolutely untrue and that I have too much respect for myself and my patrons to utter. I have always strived to improve my service and entertaining features of the Movie. In keeping with this I installed a $1,500 Wurtlizer Orchestra. Contrary to their statement I have in my employ a colored operator, who has been with me for four years. They claim my article in the Argus stated that Colored musicians do not belong to the union. This was not in the article. This controversy has been the result of an effort made by the musicians and operators' unions to unionize my place. My patrons know that in fairness to them I refused to join the union and discharge my Colored operator. I have made sure of my patrons' side of the question by employing a Colored lady musician. I will try in every way to be fair to my patrons, rather than the unions, who contribute nothing to my place. Inasmuch as my support is Colored people, I will continue to give employment to Colored and not unions, who only half way recognize them. Very truly yours, Thomas James Manager New Movie Theater.

P. doing with the money collected to fight segregation? The answer can well be given in the following extract from the Welfare Association's Expense Account. Money already expended for drafting ordinances and petitions and getting 3,500 signatures thereto, in addition to publishing "The Home Defender".....$8,000.00 Mail to 135,000 white voters. 2,772.50 Advertisements.....7,475.00 Total.....$18,347.50 In addition to this the welfare people are soliciting $14,147.50 to make the fight before the election, February 29, and $5,000 to keep up the work after the election. This shows the amount of money the opposition has spent and expects to spend to bring about segregation. HAVE YOU DONE YOUR PART IN ASSISTING TO DEFEAT IT? --- ST. LOUIS, MQ., FRIDAY, JANUARY. 28, 1916. Strong Factor in Helping to Raise Over $69,000 for Building. Resolution From Board of Managers St. Louis Argus: At a recent meeting of the board of Managers of the Colored Branch, a resolution of thanks was passed by the Board of Managers, and I was instructed to convey to the Argus Company the sincere appreciation that we have for the services rendered our campaign through your columns. Indeed, I have little doubt that the campaign was greatly helped by the publicity which you gave us. Now that the campaign is over we start resolutely to the collection of the subscriptions, and I am sure we shall have the same cordial co-operation on the part of the Argus Company in this important matter. Thanking you again for your interest, I am Yours very truly, David D. Jones, Executive Secretary.

WALKER'S TRAVELOGUE A SUCCESS The Story of Her Travel to the Coast Told in Pictures. Remarkable Scenes Introduced by Short Talks. Great Tomlinson Hall-Comfortably Filled with People from all Parts of City. Alpha Home Beneficiary. Brilliant Reception at Residence. REVISION DAY Travelogue! Travelogue! That was the word which had been circulating since Madame C. J. Walker, the well known hair culturist, returned not long since from her trip to California. Many of our people have gone to that state and returned, but a very few traveled along by slow stages, noting everything en route as she did. The madame not only visited the many points of great interest, she secured photographs of them and had them made into slides, and on last Monday night they were thrown on the screen to the great delight of the many persons who, had learned of the woman and her trip. It is but justice to the madame to say that her entertainment was clearly out of the ordinary, everything having the Madame Walker touch, and which is always unusual and particularly entertaining. The main events were interspersed by an extremely rare musical and literary program. It was a rare treat to see and hear Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, the mother of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the world famed poet. This dear old lady was introduced by Dr. Joseph H. Ward, who knew her well, and who had associated with her distinguished son. The introduction was touching and fitting, and such as could only come from one who knew both of them. She is the "Malinda" of which the poet so pathetically sang. Not one of that great audience was prepared for the treat in store for them when, after a brief mention of her son Mrs. Dunbar recited his "The Negro Soldiers." This was a most pleasing rendition, and would have been so even had she not been the poet's mother. The fact heightened the interest in her, and that great sympathetic audience eagerly drank in her last word. This glorious old woman read gloriously, giving emphasis to the theory of heredity. Paul Lawrence Dunbar was great because of his mother, as it has been with many great men. Lois Depp, the baritone, of Springfield, O., was heard to most excellent advantage in spite of the fact that he was practically pulled from his sick bed. This boy, only eighteen, a Caruso in the making, sang as it is rarely given men to sing. The audience was spellbound by his renditions, his fine conception, his sublime voice, his interpretation of the master and muse. Depp is eloquent, Depp is divine. "Hagar" was also a splendid reading by Miss Edith Thomas. She was fully in accord with the fine presentations of the evening. All of these persons were rapturously received, and as they so well merited. It is now the moment of the travel- Every voter who has been notified by the Election Commissioners to appear at the polling place in his precinct FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, and show cause why his name should not be dropped from the registration list, should be sure and reply if he desires to vote against segregation, February 29. Hundreds of voters' names are in doubt, on account of the clerks not finding them at home or not getting the satisfactory answer, in the clerks' house to house canvass the day after registration. If you received a notice be sure to respond. If you were not notified, your name is Q. K. on the list of qualified voters; but you should see that all who are in doubt, GO TO THE POLLS ON REVISION DAY, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4. LANE TABERNACLE CROWDED AN ANTI-SEGREGATION MEETING Lane Tabernaele, on Fairfax, was crowded to the doors, Wednesday night, on account of the anti-segregation meeting held under the auspices of the 23rd ward precinct organization. The stirring remarks by the several speakers on the program brought forth loud applause and cheers. Captain Wm. H. Robinson acted as chairman. Quite a number of prominent white men were seen in the audience. A resolution was read denouncing segregation as "un-American, unjust and in direct violation of the constitutions of the United ogue when the distinguished traveler will rehearse in pictures the story of her travels. The madame took her place on the great rostrum, and in a fitting introduction opened her part of the program. The travel began the first of July, and the first point was St. Louis. Then followed Denver, her former home. From here her tour practically began. Salt Lake City, in Utah, claimed her special attention; the great temple, the cathedral and its wonderful organ. The Yellowstone Park, with its geysers and great natural wonders appealed to her, also the vast and profound canyons with their gorgeous colored rocks as varied as the tints of the rainbow. She was particularly impressed with the magnificent palms that she saw on her way and in the California cities, and the giant geraniums that entwined many of them to their very tops, making for beauty indescribable. Among the pictures shown on the screen were; Pike's Peak, Palmer's Lake, Colorado Springs, the geysers, the Royal George, Collegiate Range, Mt. of the Holy Cross, canyons, Ananias' cave, Minerva Terrace, Jupiter Terrace, Paint Pots, Morning Glory Geyser, palm drives, giant cactus, pepper trees, Old Mission bells, Tent City at Coronado, Old Cave La Jolla, San Diego, U. S. Grant, Jr.'s home, glass bottom boat, seals, flying fish, divers, Japanese bungalow, high school and stadium, Tacoma, Wash., Mt. Ranier, Wash., Chimes University, Seattle, Wash., the Devil's Teapot, Butte, Mont. Many more places were shown nearly all being accompanied by interesting talks. At the close of the splendid program which followed the travelogue, Madame Walker was introduced by Dr. Ward as America's foremost colored business woman. She responded in a splendid speech which at once set at rest questions about her ability and attainments. She told of her career, her struggle from the depths to the exalted position where she now stands, a race example and inspiration to the drooping hopes of her kind. She let fall many expressions of cheer, including those of godliness, insisting that they were also requisite. She proved the ability to shine as a platform speaker with her fine well modulated voice with its splendid carrying qualities. Then her language was choice, leaving nothing wanting for a most eventful career should her lines be cast in that direction. She was unmistakably appreciated, creating an impression that will never die in the hearts and minds of those who heard her.

USE BRUSH IN THE KITCHEN Vegetables Cleaned With That Implement May Be Served With Assurance of Perfect Safety. One of the best ways to wash vegetables is to provide yourself with a stout little brush, which should be kept in a convenient place by the sink. With this you will find the work of washing the vegetables will be made a great deal easier. Then there is something that concerns house brushes of all kinds. When they are in need of cleaning, put tepid water into a pan, sufficient in quantity to cover the bristles of the brush, but not to reach the backs, which perhaps would be injured by the water. Add to the water three tablespoonfuls of ammonia for each quart of water, then put the brushes in to soak for ten minutes. Rinse them well in cold water and set them to dry, with bristles downward. In washing hair brushes, be careful not to use soap. Instead, dissolve a piece of soap in warm water and allow the bristles of the brush to stand in the water. The bristles will become white and clean. When allowed to dry you will find that the bristles will be just as stiff and firm as ever they were and the backs of the brushes will not have been hurt by soap getting down into the places where the bristles are set into the backs. An old tooth brush is a pretty good thing to save. It may often be found very useful in the kitchen around clean-up times, in getting into little niches where ordinary brush or cloth would not reach. when roasting meat, use a cousin meat tin. Put cold water in the under one. This prevents the dripping burning and also keeps it from bolling away. Plenty of hot water is essential for dish washing. Collect all the silver. Place the knives blade downward in a jug of hot water. Pile up the plates neatly. A little arrangement saves the muddle one so often sees in connection with washing up. Wash all the cleanest things first to save the water. Rinse glass in cold water after washing in hot and polish well with a dry, clean cloth. The most useful and healthy floor covering for the kitchen is fincloem. Inlaid linoleum in the best to purchase.

CITIZENS CANNOT BE SEGREGATED Segregation means humiliation, to the Negro. It designates his residence as a depreciation of property in his neighborhood, a con- tamination of social and civie conditions and, an abomiiation to the citizens generally. ? ++ It means. to quarantine the Negro as something unclean. It means té.make Pariahs out of a class who in national peril have been patriotic and loyal subjects and, in peace, rank among the most in- dustrious and productive element. The Negro”man has been in all the-wars on the side of national honor and integrity. ‘ In the Revolution he was in the outbreak; in 1§12 he helped save the day at New Orleans, in, the Civil War he bore the Star Spangled banner aloft in a hundred battles and in 1898 he made San Juan fa- mous. Nevertheless‘a lot of real éstate sharks propose his huriiliation. It is the serpent biting the hand that feeds it. * = Tt ig base ingratitude. Tt has its basis i race hate. It Tosters, irritates and emphasizes race hatred. It throws a wet blanket over the noble aspirations of the Negro. It says he is not’ fit to enjoy the equal benefits of a citizenship that he has won by the shedding of his own blood, It is in most direct violation of the great charter of American liberty—the constitution. of the United States“, state shall: not "enact or enforce a law that will abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of any state.” ; The genius‘of the American constitution is that no laws can be made discriminating or prescribing on race lines. Evéry law. enacted ‘by either the city, state or nation’saying a white man ean’t live here or a black man, can’t live there is a race law and.our constitution is against it. Neither the old constitution nor any one of its amend- ments have anything in them about races or color except that a man’s color cannot be made the basis for denial of privileges and immuni- ties’ or of disqualifieation for the exercise of which any and all citi- zens have an equal right to enjoy. The segregation now pending is a barefaced putrage upon our national constitution and utterly inconsistent’ with equal citizenship which is guaranteed the'Negro as a result of his nativity and pa- triotism, wie A ~ We say, most emphatically that such legislation is shamefully brazen. Such law could not exist except in the dark ages or in In- dia where the Pariah must not walk in the same street. where -a Brahmin lives, or in certain states of the United States where the curse of slavery hangs like a nightmare upen the white people. Men whoxfavor such a*measure are ignorant, gangrened with race hate, or they have some ulterior purpose—speculation “on: the prejudices of the masses. ~ A VICTORY FOR THE NEGRO | failure of thé Unions to conipel the manager of tl to employ Union help is a signal vietory. for the Negr is persistently closed its doors to the Negro seeking It denies him the right to a respectable livitig. - It of his ambition and strives to retard his progress. | with good Negro mechanies who ean find: no emplo: ade; because of the Unions, that will not admit him ¢ work.

His sales equal three hundred and fifteen dollars ($315.00) a year. Remember he only works one day out of each week. How He Does It He comes to the Argus office every Friday night or Saturday morning, gets his bundle of papers and sells them to regular customers. He is in his second year in High School and we are told that he is well up in his studies, being exempted from the quarterly examination. What this lad is doing many others can do. It requires only one day in the week. He wishes to thank his many customers for their kind support. As he has in the past it will be his endeavor in the future to give them the paper with the news for all the people. BOYS WANTED.—To sell the Argus, the leading Negro newspaper in the west.

Acting Director of the Sunday School School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918. Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY'30 THE LAME MAN LEAPING. LESSON TEXT—Acts 2 GOLDEN TEXT—Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none; but what I have to give them in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."—Acts 28 R. V. The coming of power (chapter 2) is soon tested outside of the circle of believers. It is put to a public test, is tried as to its efficacy physically, i. e., has the Holy Spirit power physically as well as over the spirits of men? 1. The Appeal to Peter and John, vv. 1-10. Following Pentecost the disciples seem to have continued their accustomed mode of life. (1) The apostles and worship (v. 1). As yet, and indeed for many years to come, there was no particular separation of Jews and Christians. Praying men like these two leaders, Peter and John, continued to fulfill their temple duties. The ninth hour was the prayer hour, the hour of sacrifice (Ex. 29:39; I Kings 18:36. All true approach to God must be on the grounds of sacrifice (John 14:6, Heb. 9:22) and we must remember that this hour was the one at which Jesus died for us, our sacrifice (Heb. 10:19, 29). Emphasize the need and importance of worship and prayer. (2) The afflicted one (v. 2). This man had been there often and made his usual appeal; his expectation was limited to material aid (v. 5); he may or he may not have been familiar with Christ and his teachings, but something unusual was about to happen because the two to whom he appealed really knew God and on them now rested this new power in the world. (3) The apostle's response (vv. 4-7). Peter took a good look at the man (v. 4). Peter was changed by a look (Matt. 16:7). What he saw was the man's fundamental spiritual need. (a) Demanding the man's undivided attention, Peter gave the man what he had not—not what the man wanted or expected. Peter's words, "Look on us," and Paul's "be ye followers of me" (I Cor. 4:16) are in no wise egotistical, but in each case the fearless appeal of a man wholly God's, men conscious of the endowment of power, trying to seize the wavering wills of men that they might point them to Christ. (b) Peter aroused the man's expectancy. It is usually men lacking in silver and gold who give to the world its greatest blessings and highest good (I Cor. 4:11). Every effective Christian worker must base his appeal upon the facts of a personal experience (I. Pet. 4:10, 11). (d) Peter bade the man to do the very thing he (humanly) could not do, but the thing which, "in the name of Jesus Christ" he would be able to do. (4) The result. (1) Upon the man. There is no doubt as to the completeness of the cure (v. 8). He had "strength;" was "lifted up" from his former position of weakness; he "leaped" (literally, ecstatic joy); he "walked," continuous activity; and he "worshiped," thanksgiving and renewing strength. (2) Upon the people. (a), "All the people saw." They may not have heard or comprehended the words of Peter, but they did witness the transformation. (b) "They took knowledge" (v. 10), they began to observe, even as the world always does, the one who professes his faith in Christ? (c) They were filled with "wonder and amazement" (v. 10), they could not understand. No more can the world of today (see I Cor. 1:18, 23) really comprehend the Christian. There was no guesswork, however, about this miracle, and, of the people who witnessed it and were so filled with wonder and amazement, many were converted (ch. 4:4). The miracle served to get for the gospel a good hearing and it accomplished its purpose (Rom. 1:16). 11. Peter's Appeal to the People vv. 11-28. Notice it was the man who attracted the crowd, not Peter or John, for he eagerly held the disciples while the crowd gathered (John 5:10, 11). This may suggest the weakness of the man's faith in that he depended upon Peter and John rather than upon Jesus. (1) Peter seized this opportunity (v. 12) and began his salutation by taking advantage of their curiosity. Peter eagerly turned their thought from himself unto Jesus. He wished to divert attention from himself and used the miracle for the double purpose of glorifying Jesus Christ and to convict these men of their sin. Verses 13, 14, 15 contain the chagos; whereof Peter and John were "witnesses." They were not to look upon "us" as though they had done anything, nor was it some new God of whom they witnessed (v. 13). The act of the crucifixion, he grants, may have been consummated in ignorance (v. 17), but since God had raised Jesus from the dead, and this doctrine of the resurrection was new, therefore they ought to repeat even though their acts were in accord with prophecy. Peter appeals to Jewish pride, in such an annual testiment? By REV. R. M. RUSSELL, D. D. Instructor In Doctrine, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT—He went on his way rejoicing. Acts 5:28. * The story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch presents at once an illus- tration of effective personal work in soul winning, and the portrait of a model seeker and a model Christian. It is safe to draw lessons from such an incident since it is so near to the fountain head of Christian history and so manifestly controlled by the spirit of God. The unuuch stands forth as a model of excellence both tration of effective personal work in soul winning, and the portrait of a model seeker and a model Christian. It is safe to draw lessons from such an incident since it is so near to the fountain head of Christian history and so manifestly controlled by the spirit of God. The eunuch stands forth as a model of excellence both as a seeker and a Christian. I—As a model seeker the eunuch presents four points of excellence: presents four points of excellence: 1. He was an earnest seeker. Knowing that Jerusalem was a place of special divine manifestation he made the long journey from northern Africa, not by the comfortable method of modern travel, but by the slow process of charlot driving. Neither distance nor desert sand hindered his journey. What a contrast here with many unsaved men who will not make any effort to come in contact with truth, even by as much as walking around a corner to some place of worship where the word of God would be explained. 2. He was a persistent seeker. Failing to find the truth for which he sought, either in the splendor of the temple worship, or by association with other worshipers, he left Jerusalem for his home still seeking, and was giving himself to a diligent reading of the prophecy of Isaiah. Here again he stands out in marked contrast with many of the unsaved who utterly neglect the Word of God and who do not open the Bible from one month to another even though they admit it is the good news of salvation, the time table of God's road of eternal life, and the description of a heavenly inheritance with the conditions of possession. 3. He was a teachable seeker. The eunuch was puzzled by the writing of the prophet. Confronted by one who seemed to claim knowledge, he has once invited the stranger to share his chariton and asked him to explain the prophet's message. In this regard he is a model for every inquirer. It is no confession of mental weakness to seek the help of another in things spiritual. It is simply the recognition that another has preceded us in the search for truth. Many people struggle for years with doubts and fears that might be removed in a single hour of conference with pastor or spiritual friend. 4. He was an obedient seeker. Hearing Philip's explanation of the gospel he at once expressed his faith in Christ and claimed the first opportunity for confession through baptism. A readiness to accept Christ on his own terms is the true test of a seeker's honesty and earnestness. The ordinances of the gospel are both simple and significant. Their observance permits the believer to express his faith toward God and to take the attitude of open testimony as a witness for Christ. H.—As a model Christian the cunuch "went on his way rejoicing." 1. He rejoiced over new-found truth. All truth is interesting. Men with eager joy push their investigations along lines of natural science, but the largest truth is God in Christ. 2. He rejoiced in a new relation to God. No longer was he an unforgiven sinner, or an orphan in the world, without joyous relation to its maker. Having accepted the gospel he rejoiced at being a child of God, a friend of Christ. 3. He rejoiced in new opportunity for service. The eunuch was financial secretary of his kingdom. Hereafter he was to have a share in the worldwide and universal embracing kingdom of Jesus Christ. He became an evangelist and tradition reports that he baptized Queen Candace. Association with Christ's kingdom work enlarges life and brings joy. A toilling woman explained her spiritual gladness by saying, "I work every day over the washtub. It used to be dreary work as I saw only the clothes, and the tub, and my little home comforts. Now I know of woman's work for women in foreign lands and give each week from my wages to spread the gospel, and now while I work my thoughts go out to the ends of the world." 4. Lastly the enuch relied on thought of his heavenly inheritance. Before this his largest hopes concerned political promotion, increase of salary, or lengthening of vacation—all earthly things. Now he thought of the heavenly. He did not worry because his hair was growing white, or because some younger man would soon get his place. He was slated for promotion to service in the heavenly realm. No one who is not a Christian can be cheerful and happy at thought of advancing age. I have never known a man sixty years of age and over who seemed really happy unless being a Christian. THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS Church METHODIST CHURCHES. St. Paul A.
