Wy Brush 60,000 Colored People in St. Antoine Bank Work. What Have You To Do? Says, "We Will Get Somewhere If We Have 'Program'." Advises People To Work Through N. A. A. C. P. One Million Members United Can Win. Chicago Ill. April 24—Copyrighted By A. N. P.—in one of the most remarkable interviews ever granted, Col. Charles Young, U. at A. ret., and now the only at Omaha Ill. in an important Government work, laid a program, of progress; for the Race through the Associated Negro Press. Colonel Young, West Point graduate, a hero of the famous 100th Cavalry military government representative from time to time in many climates, including Wilberforce, Halft, Liberty, the Phillips and Mexico, for more than thirty years, a student of military and economic life, is undoubtedly in a position to have opinions worthy of the most serious consideration. What Colonel Young must have been if it be said that he is still an optimist, a man of forceful personality, whose convictions sink deeply in the mind of his listener. He was in Chicago this week where he delivered an address Sunday, before the members and friends of the famous Appomattox club. His message was one of great interest, and deep concern about the future of our people in America. At present the Colonel is president of the trial board which is rehearsing the trial of the twentieth Appomattox club with assuancing a white girl last year, and who granted a new trial at the instance of President Wilson. Aked. "What of the future of our race in America?" the Colonel replied with emphasis: "We will get here somewhere if we have a program." He continued. "With the return of the soldiers from France, and the new and grave problems of reconstitution, we must be firm yet we must be thoughtful and demand even more, but in making them must be a system and a definite program. We are hearing much these days from various leaders that sound beautiful in language, relative to what we must have, and must or must not tolerate, and yet, for the most part we are left absolutely without any thing desire to do, or any definite channel through which to do it. I believe the Association of Colored People the best established general body through which to work. It is composed of intelligent and thoughtful people of both races. Just ideal what a power for good it will be in 1000,000 of us would give only one dollar a year for the means. We would be like the driving arms of Africa. They are very small, but they go through every environment, by the millions of everything, anakes, sloths, slants, lions and people get of their way. "Take for example, the African Methodist Episcopal church, just think, there is but one of the bishops of that great church, taking a real active part. Bishop Hurst, and he is not a native American. What is the matter? The same may be said of the Baptists and other churches as great bodies. Nor do the majority of our Race teachers bestr them selves in uplift interest in the manner in which they should. "This is our time, and in working together we must forget our selfish spirit, indeed, we must. Again, I urge upon the young men of every community to take advantage of the universal military training and the reserve officers' training corps units now being organized in high ranks in the leges and judiciary, qualifying for the highest dignity, purposiveness and true patriotism. "Let us strive daily by acting up to the highest and best within us to make democracy a reality and succeed in our national life. This can only be done by daily endeavor in which the Golden Rule measures our conduct. Not acting so, we but cool the love of our friends, heat the love of our enemies to the wheels of our green of our Race. Let us with joined hands and singles of purpose face the morning and go forward." BOOSTERS' BALANCE $2057.85 The executive committee of the Boosters' Club announces that after all expenses of the victory demonstration have been paid there remains 16 of the club treasury a balance of $2,057-85.

District Deputy Myers presided and introduced the honored guest, Mr. Scott praised the two lodges and two temples in St. Louis for their rapid progress. Speaking of the order, lander, because of its real democratism, he illustrated. He illustrated, the harder you strike it, the higher it bounds." Speaking of the Negro's patriotism he said: "We have a right to demand of the white people that they give us every privilege granted any citizen in this country. We are not going to retreat, we are not going to give up, but go on. God is not sleep and right will prevail in the end. If we are persecuted now, or denied our rights by others, they must certainly suffer for it in the future." He passionately advised the president that there is no such wound as failure." Recommended by Wm. G. Mathews, J. C. Cole, Mrs. Tillie Griffin, Mrs. C. P. Adams, Mrs. Saddle-Winn, F. H. Hunter, Wm. Winn and Dr. Robinson. The inspiring meeting closed with the hand of fellowship.

Petty, custodian of an office building, chestnut street, reported to the police that he had been robbed of $1,015 while on a street car last Tuesday eve. It was rumored that Petty was a victim of a confidence game. When called on the telephone for a statement regarding the matter, Mr. Petty partially confessed that he was a victim of a confidence game, saying that he received a telephone call from a man by the name of Johnnie Wright. 3435 Pine St., to come out immediately, he wanted to see him on some important business. He said when he were strangers to the business did not mean anything left the house and had gone only a short distance he met two men who were strangers to him, but through their cleverness soon made friends and induced him to take a walk with them in Forest Park, where they wanted to show him something. After a long walk, Petty stated that one of them flashed a large roll of money, bragging about what he had, whereupon Petty says he pulled his roll and told them that somebody else had flashed a large roll of money, diamonds, and while Petty would not confess, it is understood that they succeeded in pulling off their game which left Mr. Petty minus his ring and money. This is another chapter in Mr. Pettys' troubles in St. Louis recently, it being recalled that sometime ago a Miss Golns assaulted him by throwing carbolic acid in his face, which cost him some time in the hospital, and more recently he was charged with having received a large sum of money for his part in the theft of the referendum petitions in the U. R.案. Mr. Petty was well known as the man who made a "flash" with his diamonds and large bills, especially among the ladies. His many acquaintances will miss Mr. Petty's bills and diamonds while the confidence men will enjoy the benefit of them. Y. W. C. A.

Published In The Interest Of Colored People Tuskages, Principal. Believes Southern Organization Will Do Much Towards Democracy and Justice. Defends His "Modest" Advice to Soldiers in France. Chicago, April 24—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, successor of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, made his first public visit to Chicago, covering a period of several days. During his stay here Dr. Moton confined his public addresses to the subject of the "Negro in the World War," and "put at rest the criticism in some localities relative to his advice to the soldiers of the war." During his visit to Chicago, Dr. Moton appeared no less than five times in public before the "last word" in Chicago cath winares. His first appearance was before the Tuskegee club, Sunday afternoon, in Casey's Hall, where after his address he was presented with a Liberty Bond by the alumnae association, as an evidence of their faith in his work, and to be used in behalf of some worthy Unkegee student. May night, Moton presented 300 copies in the mammoth Orchestra, Hall, the vast majority of the audience being white. Here he delivered a frank address relative to the Negro in the War, in which he told how the soldiers never faltered in the face of great odds. "Our soldiers had to fight both the enemy without and prejudice within" he declared." And now, we have our greatest battle at home in getting justice, which should not be delayed, as no special favors, but we do in assist that we be given an equal opportunity in the battle of life." At South Park Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church, Dr. Moton adressed an audience of 1,500, the majority our own people. Here he told very frankly of some of the wild rumors that were afloat concerning the Race soldiers, which in induced President Wilson and Secret Service agents, which he did, running down every one, and making recommendations for betterment that were immediately adopted. "There has been some criticism concerning my using the term 'modest' in some of my talks to our soldiers, but I am sure there could be no misunderstanding or criticism if I understood in its proper relationship. "I want to declare to you that spoke frankly to those who were in a position to do us the most good, and I did not hesitate to call attention, to any injustices hat were heaped upon us. General Pershing treated me with the utter commanding generals inasmuch as much of my mission was to prevent the injustices that are things that I am not even yet at liberty to say, but I am suns they will come out in time. "In the work of reconstruction be fore us, we must all work together. The best white people of the South are deeply concerned about the wel fare of our Race, and in a short time you will hear much concerning the injustices that we have met near Atlanta, Ga. and who pleaded themselves as 'crusaders' to bring to pass the fruits of the true spirit of democracy, and justice." Dr. Moton, also addressed the Chi Cage, Advertising Club and the City Cage. Dr. George C. Hall and Editor Robert S. Abbott of the Chicago Defender.

P.—The people of the contrainte are watching with the greatest interest the fight of the people of Ohio to have the Beatty Bill, which grants equal rights to all, placed on the statute books of the state. The bill was introduced by representative Lee Beatty of Cincinnati, the only member Race in the legislature of Ohio. Ohio Civil Rights' bill, it is declared that it not ironclad enough, and hence the new bill seeks to overcome the deficiencies, for in many sections of the state, particularly Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield, Toland, Zaneville and Hamilton, of the larger cities, there is the most wanton abuse of civil rights. The legislature of Ohio is Republican, and the governor, James M. Cox, democrat, in a leading editorial in the Ohio Advocate leading Race newspaper of the state, and which has always supported the Republican party, is the declaration that unites the Republican legislature passes the bill the Colored people of the state have come to the parting of ways. Never in the history of the state there has been a more united effort to put over the bill, "Whatever is done," said one leader, "Ohio is going to be done." The state was always been regarded as a fairplay but it seems these latter days white Republicans are but lit the better than the former day Southern Democrats. Some of them are such hypocrites that they stink to high heaven." DOCTOR ARRESTED The case against Sweeney, which came up in Division one of the Court of Criminal Causes Tuesday, was continued by request. Sweeney was charged with practicing medicine without a licence. The case grew out of the efforts of Dr. W. Neilson, a surgeon at N. Jefferson avenue, who states that Sweeney came to his office and told him if he would help him (Sweeney) patiently he would "split" with him, assuring Dr. W. Never that his methods were perfectly harmless and a charge of 25 cents to £25, or whatever they could pay, was his fee. Dr. Wever, after listening to the appeal, appointed him to appointment with Sweeney, telling him he would have some patients on a certain day. In the meanwhile Dr. Wever reported the matter to the Health Department who had a man present on the appointed day. Dr. Wever got attorney Homer G. Phillips, who has offices at 2335a Mark street, to act as a patience. At the appointed hour Sweeney and his associate was present at Phillips and a health officer. And after Sweeney had diagnosed the case as appendicitis and gave a little rubbing, accepted one dollar as part payment. He was promptly arrested. Dr. Wever stated that he felt it his duty to assist in bringing to justice such men who go around among poor and prey upon their ignorance. He told me that he could him that a barrel of money could make off the Colored people with his aid.

PRICE 5 CENTS RACE PREJUDICE IS A PERPETUAL BARRIER AGAINST PEACE SAY JAPS TOKIO Times Declares That Peace On Earth And Good Will Toward All Men Must Be Considered As Stil Very Distant Beeause Of Refusal Of Peace Conference To Accept Principle Of Equality. TOKIO, April 21.—In an editorial commenting on the failure of the racial equality clause to secure a place in consent of the Lenage of Nations, the Japanese said that the national disappointment of Japan verges upon disaffection and affords opportunity for sensationists to stir up antiwife prejudice. Representative Japanese regard the Paris decision as a snub and a humiliation, the newspaper says. It continues; with wide ear the public deserves of white peoples to accept the principle of equality of nonwhites probably will erect a perpetual barrier to the harmonious commingling of the races toward which it was believed the world was tending. It can only tend to accentuate racial prejudices, with wide ear the political President Wilson's ideal of lasting peace. Japan's admission to the company of the great powers must be considered as only for the political convenience of the allies, the Times declares, and it compares Japan's position to that of a Negro preacher asked to speak in church because of his oration, but who is not considered the racial equal to the white congregation. "It is well for Japan to remember this point," the newspaper adds. "The only way of sustaining Japan's prestige must be sought in preparedness to cope with international situations as they may develop. Peace on earth and good will toward men must be considered as still very distant." JEWS AND JAPS WANT RACIAL TOLERATION IN THE PEACE PACT WASHINGTON, D. C., April 24—By A. N. P.—Although the Japanese seem to have been given a temporary set back in their fight at the Peace Conference to secure equal rights for all, regardless of Race, it is very evident that the clever little people from over the seas have not given up hope. The fighting alliance has developed between the Japanese and the Jews. The Jews are asking that the league of nations shall include a stipulation for complete religious toleration. Japan has seized upon the suggestion and asks, "Why not to tolerate us?" Why not to the Japanese government is determined to compel a definite answer on its demand for racial equality. JEWS AND ITALIANS SUPPORT CIVIL RIGHT BILL IN RHODE ISLAND PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 24—A N. A. P.-Jewish, Italian and Race support, together with that ever present group of loyal whites, was given the civil rights bill in the legislature here. Phillip V. Joslin was the Jewish citizen who spoke in behalf of the bill. Representative Luigi De Pasquale a member of the Democratic party, said in part: "To desise a man regardless of his intellectual attainments and his charm器 simply because his face is black, is a crime against civilization. It is very unfair to say that certain people should live in certain locality not because of their race or religion but simply because they are different in complexion from others. Race prejudice and Race hostility present a serious problem and its solution cannot be had by depriving citizens of their privileges and of their rights guaranteed under the Constitution."

Dr. Moore made a very inspiring talk of his experience in the war. The debate was well discussed. Mr. C. Scott wa at his best and succeeded in winning from G. F. Craven. The discussion was close, 14 to 13 points. Although Mr. Craven had the weak side, and displayed wonderful oratory. All are invited next Monday night as an excellent program has been arranged. Rev. S. V. Terry, pastor. ST. PAUL A.. M. E. CHURCH Never before was St. Paul decorated more beautifully than it was last Sunday morning, including the lecture room. Promptly at the appointed time, the choir marched to the soft followed by Dr. Williams dressed in his robe and opened the service in a way belitting the occasion. He selected his text from I Cor. 15:20, "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept." Before he had finished the scripture lesson, the church was filled to its overflowing. Notwithstanding the fact that extra preparation had been made to seat the vast throng of people, even the ladies' parlor was packed to its utmost capacity and standing room was at a premium even around the walls. Bro. Stanley offered prayer that was touching to all who heard him. Too much credit cannot be given Miss Ella Severe for the way she conducted the music, with the able assistants and the choir members. We have read and heard many Easter sermons but we make no mistake when we say that Dr. Williams' measured up if not eclipse any sermon it has been our privilege to hear. The description of the arrest, trial, crucifixion and the resurrection of the Lowly Nazarene, brought tears to our eyes, and especially so, when he laid so much stress on the fact that sin was the cause of it all. The fall of man, the reemption and God's love for man were some of the striking points. Then the pastor demonstrated how timely it was that Christ ards at this season of the year, just when nature is awakening from its long slumber, and flowers come forth in all their splendor and glory in what we call Springtime. Here the pastor referred to the blooming roses and the many ferns that partly hid him from the view of that vast multitude as we all sat wrapped in his flow of gospel words as he would reach some of the highest peaks of his son and "especially so, when he described our suspended Lord on the cross and we could see by faith and imagine we could hear the Savior say: "It is finished." O thiemane, Golgotha (the place of the skull) and Calvary were vividly brought before our eyes as Dr. Williams who was under the influence of the Holy Ghost spoke for twenty minutes about the awful tragedy. We joined in with him when he said, "O death, where is thy sting, O grave, where is thy victory." Here the pastor showed with what authority [the Savior could say, "Come unto me all ye that lobe and are heavy hiden and I will give thee rest." As the pastor steped from the palpit to extend his appeal we could hear people say, "why did the pastor stop so soon when we were in the midst of drinking from the fountain." Nevertheless, the pastor has a definite system from which he never swerves. Several united with the church. As Stewartde's Board No. 1 had prepared an excellent dinner, quite a number took advantage of it and remained for the exercises of the Primary department, at 3 o'clock, where it was seen that Mrs. Jones' efforts are not being spent in vain in training the younger minds. In the evening a cantata was rendered by the choir and all on program acted well their parts. Again, we repeat, that Miss Severe's superior as an organist will not be found, and the progress of St. Paul is largely due to her efforts and that of the choir. Amount raised for missions Easter day, was $124.94. It can be seen that Eastr was a success financially and spiritually as well as from a point of attendance. The pastor's sermon last Sunday was far reaching, and those who wish to be benefitted next Sunday morning should be on time. A special invitation to strangers. Bishop Parks will preach Sunday at 11 o'clock. SEVEN CHURCH UNION The Seven Church Union, hold its regular meeting with the Thessalonian Baptist Church, April 21.

The day began with a "Pentecostal Shower" at the five o'clock prayer meeting under the leadership of Sister Maria Galines. At nine thirty the Sunday School room was packed with more than three hundred bright eyed boys and girls and parents, to enjoy the unique and inferring Cradle Roll exercises conducted by Mrs. Ella Jones the efficient superintendent of that department At eleven o'clock every seat was taken and standing room was at a premium. The altar was banked with costly flowers and superb potted plants, each representing the departure of some loved one. Dr. Peck was at his best and delivered a scholarly ermine from St. John, 20 Chap. 18th Verse. Theme: "I have seen Jesus." So vivid was the picture drawn of that scene enacted, over nineteen centuries ago, and so beautifully was the story told that the immense congregation sat with rapt attention, eager to catch every word as it fell from the lips of this eminent divine.

BEN STATHAM, C. M. WILKINS. Contending For Justice Contending For Justice Japanese On Peace Conference By A. N. P. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 27—"Who does this world belong to?" is the question the Japanese nation desires to have answered in a concrete manner by the Peace Conference now in session in Paris. The question is giving deep concern to the various nations assembled, and particularly the United States. Not only is this country interested from the immigration viewpoint, but, also from the viewpoint of the relationship of the American Negroes to the body politic. It is an open secret that the American Negroes are very much determined to get more favorable consideration from the government than has been accorded in the past. This is especially true of the South, but is applicable to every section of the country where open discrimination is practiced. While loyal to the government in every respect, there is no group of people who can better sympathize with the discriminations because of Race, that is being practiced upon the Japanese, and the citizens of that country are bold to say, that if the allies were sincere in the principles for which they fought, there should be no color line anywhere in the world, but every nation and each individual in every nation, should be marked only by merit. CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEM 1ST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nurtheses the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinna-soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinnaoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled, by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinnaoap, asking for them by their full names. Price is 25c each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mall them to you direct. Seeby Drug Co.

CARUTHERSVILLE, MO. Mrs. Billie Saunders gave a reception last Monday night in honor of her brother, Private Walter Greer, who has just returned from France. Private Green, who was attached to the 92nd Division, spoke briefly of his sojourn in France, paying glowing tribute to those who stood with him on the diring line. It could plainly be seen from his address that while our soldiers suffered as soldiers must, it has not been in vain. Our boys return to us not as the listless lad of yesterday, but as men who can be trusted in hour of need and with a finer conception of the world in general. As the boys stood on the burning deck, so did our boys stand at the battle of Metz, for democracy, and we have faith in the President, that the Democracy we fought so gallantly for reaches America and proves justice to all and special to none. Men of our race who stand for something: Mr. J. L. Smith, furnished rooms and restaurant; Louis Caruthers, confectionery; Charley Willis, restaurant and rooms; Jentry Thomas, tonsorial parlor; Frank Howard, Front street barber; Ben Fields, second and Walker, pool room and restaurant.

Now the war is over, and uttered with honor and glory, won on hard at the defense of their country and its flag, to demand at the hands of their government. During the Wilson Regime, the lot of the Negro people of America has been a hard one. With the advent of his administration prejudice became rampant and discrimination was found in many high places. The Federal government at Washington, itself, took the lead in Jim Crowism. Heads of departments caused the hated monster to intrude his head into places where, for years before the two races had worked side by side, without any friction or semblance of discomfort or inconvenience whatsoever. As a result of its lead, conditions all over the country became infinitely worse for black people, and in the Southland it was almost unbearable. Thousands of Negroes left their homes in the South—some of them very comfortable homes—and sought liberty and better opportunity in the strange and cold North, among strangers, rather than endure the terrible and well-nigh intolerable conditions of the place of their birth. Lynching and mob violence increased rapidly in frequency of occurrence and in brutality of execution. Women and innocent babes were lynched and murdered amid the cheers of white men women and children, and it seemed that the black man was destined to pass through hell, itself, before the orgy was over. But when this country declared war against Germany and its honor and flag became imperiled, the Negro forgot his wrongs. No, he did not forget them, but out of his deep love for his country, his great patriotism made him able to table the question of their righting for the time being, to take up immediately new business of winning the war, defending the honor and flag of America, and "making the world safe for democracy." German propaganda found no lodging place in his ranks. Pro-Germanism was a stranger to him, and even those who imputed to him sentiments of disloyalty, did not believe their own lies, and were speedily refuted by them. Instead of being slackers and shirkers, Negroes eagerly came forward and offered themselves to their government as soldiers. This, even in the face of jeers and discouragement from recruiting officers. They were not permitted to volunteer. The government at Washington made little or no provision for the voluntary enlistment of Negroes. Yet, when the draft came, they went singing to the camps, they sang through their training and went over the Hildenburg line shouting and smiling, in the face of certain death, to victory. Now the war is over, and they have returned, covered with honor and glory, won on hard fought fields of battle, in the defense of their country and its flag; they have something to demand at the hands of their government.

He expects to be protected in his right to vote, and while voting. He expects to have his votes counted as cast, and he further expects to cast it so that it will count in favor of his liberty and for the betterment of his country. He asks that he be given a man's chance to earn a decent living that will support himself and his family in the style and circumstances which his ability to contribute to the economic welfare and betterment of the country and community entitles him to expect. He asks safety from mob violence. He asks fair treatment at the hands of juries and before the courts of justice. He asks for the abolishment of the Jim-Crow car and all discriminatory laws that humiliate him and vex and harass his soul because of race prejudice. The Negro asks that his children be given the same opportunity for receiving an education that the children of other citizens are given that the school funds be justly distributed, and that his child shall have appropriated for its education the same amount of money that is appropriated for the education of other children in the community in which he lives. The Negro also asks that public funds which rightfully belong to him shall not be diverted to him for his detriment. And chief among the things which he asks is that the American people, and particularly the American press, tell the truth about him and cease from circulating lies and mis-statements about him. He does not ask for special friendship or sympathy, but he does ask a man's chance to work, live develop, and enjoy himself according to the privileges and rights granted and guaranteed by the Constitution to American officers. That, as he has put his all on the alter of his country's goal forgetting for the time being his own wrongs, such wrongs as her people in the world have been called upon to suffer, his country will grant him simple justice, and an equal opportunity within the mass of life and will lend him the encouragement which is necessary to enable him to make the highest and best out of life himself and his.

Callragg (The Lion) will lecture at Pleasant Green Baptist Church, Elliott and Wash, Rev. J. K. Parker, pastor, Monday, April 28, at 8 p.m.; also at First Free Baptist Church, Lucas and Garrison, Rev. A. H. Bastick, pastor, April 29, 8 p.m. His subject will be "Fall and Rise of Ethiopia," how Ethiopia can get her heart's desires; When? Why? How? Evangelist Brogg is called the World's Greatest Ethiopian Genoologist. The following are extracts from press and public opinion of him: Is a living volcano pouring out the lava of wisdom in a faming fire of understanding. A gushing geyser spouting forth living words of consolation. Is a horn of salvation to blow down the walls of sin, with the tune and harmony of the Lord's spiritual strength. His inspirational words of truth are so prophetic and menacing to the ears and heart. Rev. C. S. C. Bragg (The Lion), the Ethiopian Classic Interpreter, is so plain until he glorifies his words with color of enthusiasm, with tints of mental magnetism, with lights of the soul, he makes his message, quiver with brilliancy of the spirit of truth, until we see a great artist painting a picture of colors on our imaginative minds of canvas. So manifest in the spirit of truth. Rev. J. S. C. Braggs, the evangelist, is the world's greatest Ethiopian Genealogist and Biblical scholar, very studious, full of reverence for the Bible, devout with eminent power of deaf, strong expression, in wit mixed pathos sometimes blending with humor, very conspicuous for his knowledge of the history, geography and customs of the Bible times. Having traveled extensively, his forceful power as an orator enable him to portray to his audience his insight into the steep spiritual meaning of the sacred texts. (Abyssinia Bainlekhlem, Festia Negast Ethiopie's Hieroglyphics). He presents a rare combination of qualities to produce this important subject. "The rise and fall of Ethiopia," or the "Confusion of Man." As he does not offend or approach any Sect, Creed, Religion or Faith. He believes the God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel and the only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Israel of heaven and earth. Among the questions asked by Evangelist Bragg are: Do you know that the Ethiopians were the first people that God gave land? And named it Ethiopia after Adam, and Eve were made, and the only nation that lives on their land till this day? Do you know that the Ethiopians were the first nation to turn to God and the first to turn away from the God of Israel? Do you know the Ethiopians absolutely were the first nation in literature, art, science and music? Do you know that King David had srighips, armored tanks, engines of war and many more instruments of war than you have today? There is nothing new under the sun. And this war will be won by cavalry. And why? Do you know that according to the Ethiopian hieroglyphics numerals that King Zerah, the Ethiopian warrior, had (2nd Chronicle, 14 Chapter, 9 verse), 100,000 soldiers and 300 charlets of war and fought his own brother, the Prophet Iddo, and both were Moses? A. Competitive Drill Between Uniform Rank, K. of P. and Arab Patrol Ethiopian grandsonss by blood? And one of his engines of war could shoot 500 miles—from Chaldea to Noph? Do you know that Moses' wife Zipporah, sister of Heber, son of Hobab the Ethiopian warrior. Do you know that Ethiopion wife of Moses Zipporah, were kin to Deborah and sister to Hebter the Kinite; sister-in-law to Jael was praise by God of Israel personally above all women on earth. Do you know that there is 2,832 nationalities and only one race—not five? I can prove it. Do you know that after every great war the Bibles have been translated into the winner's language? The Bible has been translated 2,832 times. Do you know that St. Thomas' Gos pel is not in your Bibles? Do you know why you have kings and chronicles in your Bibles, the cause and effect? Do you know that every language under the sun derived from the Ethiopic Hieroglyphics (sacred writing?) Do you know that God of Israel personally praised and said the greatest woman on Earth above all women in Israel was an Ethiopian woman? Do you know that confusion of Ethiopians today was on account of Israel not having a teaching priest, law or Bible or a true God for 999 years? And under Judges for 450 years, the greatest Judge ever, was an Ethiopian woman? Do you know that the Prophecy of Isahal, Daniel, Ezekiel, St. John the Divine, the first by Enoch, the 7th man from Adam, foretold of the present war and the Civil War? Do you know that the highest educated on earth except Moses was an Ethiopian woman? Do you know that Ethiopians had the greatest cities ever built on earth, one with a street made of solid gold 60 miles long and 3 miles wide in the Topaz of Ethiopia? Their buildings studded with diamonds, Sapphire, onyx, coral, pearls, rubis, Sardonyx, sardines, chalcedony, chrysophasus, amethysts, jacinth, chrysolite, beryl and on the outside of their buildings covered with precious stones? Do you know that the first man to be baptized by the spirit of truth, Holy Ghost, and the water was an Ethiopian man of Abyssinia, under and relative of Queen Candace, the Queen-of Sheba, and first to establish the present Christipath upon the earth? Do you know that out of 50,000,000 of people that lived in Jerusalem, all was captured, slain or destroyed except one Ethiopian, for his righteousness sake he was saved, and was the treasure of the God of Israel government? And don't let them tell you different. Do you know that I will positively answer and absolutely will answer all the question by your Bible, by chapter and verse? LEONARD AVE. BAPTIST CHRURCH NOTES. Monday evening, April 21, Leonard Ave, Baptist Church was the scene of a brilliant gathering in honor of the Fifth Anniversary of the pastor, Dr. P. W. Dunavant. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and mottos, and with the vast crowd that gathered to do honor to this good man of God, it made a most picturesque scene. Dr. Dunavant introduced Tabernacle Choir which furnished the music for the occasion. Too much cannot be said in praise of this organization. They are always ready to do their part and there are few choirs to equal them. A most interesting program was rendered which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Among the prominent speakers were Mr. David Bush, Mr. Wm G. Mathews, Miss Taylor, Mrs. Juanita A. Brady and the presidents of the different auxiliaries of the church. A most excellent report was given of each department. Mrs. Alexander made the presentation speech and gave the pastor a fine Stetton hat presented to him by the official board of the Sunday School. Over $500 was reported raised during anniversary week. Dr. I. E. Moore, who has recently returned from France where he served in the capacity of 1st lieutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps of the United States Army, was next introduced. He told of his many and varied experiences in France and of the splendid work done by the Negro troops. He COLISEUM MON. EVENING, MAY 5 EVERYBODY INVITED told of the prejudice shown toward them by the white officers. Dr. Moores also read articles from the French general of the 2nd Army Corps and Major General Ballon in commendation of the valor of the Colored soldiers. He also read his article written for the leading newspaper of Hattiesburg, Miss. The information given by Dr. Moore was new to the people for it has never been printed by the white press of this country. Dr. Moore is practicing his profession with offices located at 925 N. Jefferson avenue. All joined in voicing the reception a most enjoyable affair and too much cannot be said in praise of the work being done by the pastor and members of Leonard Ave. Baptist Church. The Grand Benevolent Association will give a musical and literary entertainment Friday evening, April 25, 1919, at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, 4200 Finney avenue, Rev J. L. Caston, pastor. Admission, 10 cents. Dr. Moore and other interesting speakers will be featured. Come out and hear them. Mrs. Juanita A. Brady of 3227 Lawton avenue has accepted the position as private secretary to Mme. Evelyn Horton, 4188 W. Belle place. Both Mme. Horton and Mrs. Brady are to be congratulated. EASTER AT UNION MEMORIAL CHURCH. Every department of the Union Memorial Church Sunday School, assembled en masse for the Easter Celebration Program, entitled, "The Abounding Life," which embodied a great Centenary Message of Missionary effort for the Sunday School. All departments, inspired by the deep significance of the Happy Easter Day, entered into the spirit of its observance. While the Primary Department had the best attendance, 117 present, the Parents' Reserve as usual had the best offering, the Intermediate-Seniors the best addresses, the Juniors under the supervision of their superintendent, Mrs. Mary Goode Young, took splendid care of the service end of the program by contributing a large number of putted plants and beautiful flowers to the Peoples' Hospital. These flowers were first brought to the altar and following the prayer of dedication by Dr. Abbott came the Junior Procession. Through the courtesy of our friends in business, Dr.Abbott secured enough autos to take the teachers and their pupils to the hospital. Thus the Juniors experienced the real joy of service and the school had the benefit of the object lesson, and extended service. Thanks to our friends in business, who helped to dispatch the service program. The Sunday School Glee Club was on program to sing during the celebration of the Sunday School Program, under the direction of Mrs. T. N. Scoggins. PEOPLE'S HOSPITAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
