COOLIDGE REMAINS SILENT ON RACE APPOINTMENTS An Exponent of Truth and Justice VOL. XIII NO. 50 Has Not Indicated Who He Will Name For Register Of Treasury Or Any Other Position Of Responsibility. Associated Negro Press WASHINGTON, D.C. Apr. 8.—One entire month of the new Coolidge administration has passed. On every hand, Colored Amerien is asking, "What is President Coolidge going to do?" There is no one hereabouts who can let one into even the outer, crust of the deep secret. President Coolidge is "powerful in his silence." The situation has already placed a number of the allied forces or allied factions—on the defensive. The best assurances that they can offer to the quellions is "Be patient, you know it takes time, and the President is not one to be rushed." To this the quizzical individual replies, "Sounds natural, heard that four years ago." The biggest piece of news going out of the White House recently is themunumentation that the President is to spend the summer in Massachusetts. This is being played up with characteristic journalistic enterprise. Pictures of the "Summer White House" and all. But what the folks want to hear is something about some "stand the President has taken that will give "truth a hearing" and the Brother a chance, or some "outstanding" appointment. This has not happened yet. There is more talk about the office of Register of the Treasury than any other. "We must have that office this time," many people are saying from many different sections of the country. The white force of the Register's office has already organized against it. "The President ought to name a Colored man to show them where to get off," say the folks in the street. Ernest G. Tidrington Most Frequently Mentioned Ernest G. Tidrington of Indiana, attorney, Vice Supreme Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias has the largest comment regarding appointment for the office. Tidrington is active in Indiana politics, backed up the straight Republican ticket in the last election, at a time when many of the leading colored Republicans of the state got out of line, so far as the G. O. P. was concerned. Indiana went Republican, "hook, line and sinker," and hence the people who helped carry the cause, feel that there should be some practical recognition. Tidrington is cordially disposed toward the assistant leader of the Senate James E. Watson, of Indiana, and next year Senator Watson is one of the twenty-five Republican Senators who expect to hold their seat. Senator Watson has made no open declaration for Tidrington for the "place, but it is believed that he is kindly disposed to Tidrington, and friends of the Hoover attorney have been showing Senator Watson a "deep point" on how he will make the best Register who ever registered his cogent for the official value of paper money. Reports enanating from various sources in Indiana that Tidrington "personna non grata," are answered by the statement that few men have as large, a personal following any where as Tidrington has in his home office. So Washington is the high spot where all are standing by to listen in on the White House political radio. There are rumors galore, but that is mere "sounding brass and a tinkling symbol" so far as actual developments are concerned. The last thing at night and the first thing in the morning one hears the refrain "Sight me, sight me, I am blind I cannot see. Sight me." COLORED MAN APPOINTED DEPUTY U. S. RECORDER WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 8—Jefferson S. Coage, 1900, old, formerly of Wilmington, Delaware, was appointed Deputy Recorder of Deeds by Arthur G. Free. The cath of office was administered last Saturday by Al G.

The St. Louis Argus PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIZING SUNDAY Rev. J. K. Parker Will Take 75 Converts To Mississippi River Easter Morning At 10:30 REV. J. K. PARKER The 20th annual Easter revival at the Pleasant Green Baptist church is now drawing to a close. Baptizing in the river at the foot of Pine street Sunday, April 12, 10:30 a.m., will mark the final stroke of a grand and glorious revival with great success. The sisters' evening prayer meetings under the leadership of Mother Vaugha have been well attended. Mother Vaugha's services in these meetings for the last 20 years are more commendable than words can express. Many children who are connected with the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were converted. Too much cannot be said for the example of Christianity set by the parents and teachers of these children, for Jesus, said, "Sister little children to come unite and forbid them not, for such is the kingdom of heaven." All members are requested to come home on Easter Sunday. The pastor wishes to thank his members and friends for their liberal donations and Easter gift presented to him, also for the 30 days (after Easter) vacation.

All persons waiting upon candidates be present at church Friday night, April 10, for instructions. Sunday, 11 a.m. preaching, 2 p.m. covenant and communion.

C., April 8—It has been 83 years since Uncle Phillip Roseboro first saw the light of day in a little cabin in the southeastern section of North Carolina. Now after a life filled with many hardships and burdens, the gray haired and bent old man is to receive a pension from his beloved state for whose cause he so bravely fought in the civil war, even though if victorious, it meant continuation of slavery for He will be the first Negro in the state to receive pension and perhaps in the whole south. Uncle Phillip sought for the Confederacy throughout the Civil War he was wounded twice, and saw two of his owners in battle. He returned to the home of his widowed mistress and her daughter after the war and worked faithfully earning a living for them until their death. After the death of the Roseboros, Uncle Phillip wandered about the state earning his livelihood as best: he could. His wife was dead and his eleven children had left him. For the last ten years he has been making his home at Shelby, where he has been a teacher and a who ever wielded an ax. Despite his age, he can still chop over two cords of wood a day. It is said that Uncle Phillip's proportion of the apportion that North Carolina allots her veterans will make him independent for the rest of his life. VICTIM OF MOB OUTRAGE BELIEVED TO BE INNOCENT WILLIAMSON, N. C., April 8.—The trial of four men, Female W. Sparrow, John Gurkin, John G. Carrey and Allen Griffin, leaders of a mob that performed an illegal operation on Joe Needleman, 21, accused of assaulting Effie Griffin, a 17 year old salesgirl, is being rushed with all haste, for fear of more violence. Since the crime, sentiment, has changed, and Needleman, at first, believed guilty, is now thought innocent. The soridiness of the incidents which preceded the attack on Needleman have caused the general belief that it was a frame-up. The assault was witnessed two weeks after it happened to have Miss Griffin told her flame, Sparrow, that the man he had introduced her to assaulted her during an automobile ride. After Needleman's arrest, although he pleaded to be removed from Martin county, which is a Klan territory, until he could prove his innocence, the sheriff, H. T. Roberson, raid him no heed; and even when he heard that a mob was coming after the pits, he did not attempt to interfere. The mob removed Needleman from the jail and took him two miles in the country, where they offered him a choice of having his head severed or being maimed. He was operated upon and left, but managed to reach town and secure medical aid. Doctors at first were despairing over his chances for life, but an operation is believed to have saved him. . . Friends of Needleman have sent $10,000 to aid in the prosecution of his abusers, and the governor, has offered $800 reward for the arrest and conviction of any member of the mob. The attorney general has set out in an effort to bring all of the participants in the financial crime to justice. NEW YORK, Apr. 8—The Annual financial report of the National Association for the Advancement of Cultural People shows that the amount spent over $60,000 in 1924.

SEGREGATION SUIT AGAINST GROWS BITTER CITY HOSPITAL IN CALIFORNIA NO.2 IS FILED Whites Drive Negro Family Out Of Newly Purchased Home. Second Occurrence Within A Week. LOS ANGELES, Calif., Apr. 8 — The latest development in the neighborhood segregation oppression that the Negroes of this city have been undergoing, occurred last week when Mrs. Lola Turner, who is now residing at 1350° East 43rd St., was forced to leave her newly purchased home at Graham Station, a little settlement in the suburbs. Told to Leave Mrs. Turner, who is a well known respectable colored resident of this city, purchased the property at Graham Station under the specifications that there was no objection to Negro dwellers in the section and with her sister, and nephew, moved into the new quarters. She was only at the place for a few days, when she was visited by a group of whites. Orders were left that Negroes were not desired in the community, and that Mrs. Turner should vacate her property as soon as possible. Refused to Co Mrs. Turner saw no need for breaking up her comfortable new home which she had sacrificed so much to gain and pald no need to what she considered a braggadacious threat. But last week the little Negro home was visited by a self-appointed committee of white ruffians, who came to break the courageous spirit of the woman who had dared defy their orders. **Threaten Violence** They enforced her home boldly and demanded that she other rent or sell her property to whites as soon as possible, which she bravely resented, saying that the men had no right to organize purposefully to drive her from her home. The men are thereon quoted as having declared that "Graham would not tolerate the presence of any colored people," and that "if Mrs. Turner remained there would be serious trouble." Mrs. Turner, for fear of the safety of the life of herself and relatives, left her home the following day. And went to her third street. She proceeded to secure a prominent attorney to investigate the circumstances of the case, in view of filing a suit against the ousters.

April 8.—Prospects of Manhattan getting its first Negro judge in the next November election are highly promising since the passage of Representative Billupa's bill providing for a redistricting of the 7th Municipal Court district, which includes Harlem, and for the addition of a new judge, the former of whom is signed by Governor Al. Smith and star of Hylan, the election of a color-bridge is practically assured, since the Negro vote controls the district in which the judgeship is to be carried. WASHINGTON. D. C.

Discharged, Interne Asks $1500 Damages From City Of St. Louis. Dr. Jordan And Dr. Haskell Are Made Defendants. As a clerk to the many charges and cross charges of mismanagement and耻辱化 at City Hospital No. 2, a soul has sued for $1500 against the City of St. Louis, Dr. G. A. Jordan, hospital commissioner and Dr. T. C. Haskell, superintendent at City No. 2, by one of the internes who was summarily dismissed from the hospital recently. The plaintiff in this case is Dr. Omar H. Price of New York, who charges than the superintendent, Dr. Haskell, is partial toward those internes who come to the hospital from certain sections of the country, or certain schools. He states, also, that Dr. Haskell is unduly influenced by Miss Gertrude Martin, head nurse, and her assistant, Miss Cornelia Merkle, whose duty, Dr. Price claims, seem to be more to mobile after the personal affairs of the internes and nurses than to look after the welfare of the patients. This, he states, kept up almost a continuous "nues" and dissatisfaction among the nurses and in cases. Several internes have resigned from the hospital recently an account of what they call "intolerable conditions." While most of them believe that Dr. Haskell is sympathetic and willing to do the right thing, yet they give that he is dominated by Miss Martin who is intolerant and vindictive. Attorney John A.

LOUIS MAYORALTY RACE WINS ST. LOUIS MAYORALTY RACE HON. VICTOR J. MILLER What is said to have been the hottest contested majority election in the history of the City of St. Louis, resulted in the election of Victor L. Miller, Republican mayor, over William L. Igos, his Democratic opponent, by a plurality of 3196 votes. Mr. Miller, the "man of destiny," as some have called him, had an uphill fight to win the race, with the election of the remaining portion of his ticket practically assured when nominated. He was the marked man, being regarded as the weakest candidate on the Republican ticket. There were two factors in the campaign which were used against Mr. Miller. One was the general belief that he was radical, lacking in judgment and decision, and the other was that he, in some tangible way, bad Kut - Klux Klan connection. Organisation, however, was divided on these questions, and the vote shows that he overcame these indictments by only a small margin, running 17,600 votes behind his ticket. The Negroes voted against Mr. Miller as they had never before voted in this city against a man on the Republican ticket. It is believed now that from six to eight thousand broke away from the G. O. P. and voted for Mr. Ikoe, the Democrat; yet, most of the Negroes minister put their O. K. on Mr. Miller, and in a signed statement published in the St. Louis Star, endorsed Mr. Miller. These following are the names of those appearing in the Star: Dr. H. H. Jackson, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Rey. S. J. Lane, Secretary. Dr. B. F. Abbott, pastor, Union Memorial M.

Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Presion News Service "The Sun Do Move" said John Jasper—out of the fullness of his ignorance just about fifty years ago. Now comes one Hatcher or out of the fullness of his ignorance, of from the infinitive desire for small publicity, or as an incentive to larger collections, and says, "The Sun Does Move" Hatcher's one improvement over Jasper is the substitution of the word "does" for "do." If this latter day Jasper wants to be entirely consistent K suggest that he make his grammatical construction conform to big thinking. In the latter case he would CHRISTENING WEST END HOTEL Sunday, April 14 75 cents The New West End Hotel Orchestra issues Ramsey and Kewley and Chas DYD CAMPBELL. Ivise and Direct Activities of My Own Artists of Terpsiehore a Night of unparalleled and one long to be Signed: 75 cents CHAS. CREATH use the "do." The Reverend Hatcher's photograph appeared in the papers along with his sermon. He is cited in academic robes and the information is carried that he is a graduate of several of our higher schools. The Reverend lets it be known that he will not call God a lie. He says that he has "no quarrel with science" and gives several quotations from the Bible to prove that he and John dasper are the only people in the world who know exactly what is the shape of the earth or the motion of the Sun and earth in relation to each other. I fear that the Reverend Dr. Inttcher has run out of ammunition. The collections were perhaps falling off. Times are perhaps a little tight down in Virginia as elsewhere. A new "selling" talk was needed to make recounts balance the tremendous overreach of church—including the pastors' board and keep. That good old standby "Marching Upward to Zion" no longer filled the bill. Perhaps the plates returned to the front with plenty of nickels, but go few quarters. Maybe "hell-fire" had run its course and the simmers had cooked off. Maybe the golden streets of the "New Jerusalem" had turned to leaf. Something must be done! And then—perhaps, the shade of John Jasper arrose. Eureka! "The earth is squarer and the Sun does move." There may be other causes for this lapse into darkness pierced through with the light of Newspaper publicity. Our friend Hunter may have been talking with William Jennings Bryan. H12 may be under the spell of Macbeth's witches, the head hunters of Born o or some long-distance African medicine man. I don't know just what the trouble is, but I am of the opinion that the earth will continue to be an oblate spheroid and that it will run its annual course around the Sun. A business men's grand jury in Cincinnati, Ohio has made a rather encouraging report to Judge Edward Hurley in the common Plains Court of Hamilton County. It has to do with the "unfairness and non-fessance of the sheriff in office." The indictment charges that the sheriff, Wilt by name, was the partner of a Negro woman in operating a most notorious house of prostitution and lustlegging. The charge of the grand jury says that this house is "the most notorious building in Cincinnati." The report further says that most of the dives and houses of vike in the city are in the section Inhabited by Negroes. The housing conditions are ind. And yet says this grand jury in this section with all its squater and vice—many respectable and worthy families are compelled to live and rear their children. The above quoted expressions of the gmee jury are remarkable and hopeful. The fact that the sheriff was mixed up with a Negro woman in is neither remarkable, unusual or hopeful. It is only one further example of the social equality existing between white men and unny Negro women. It is a way that the white race has of demonstrating its superiority and the untainted purity of its Nordic blood. I wonder what the wife and white woman's associates of this sheriff think of their husband and projector? But, of course, this inferior Negro woman made him do it. The whites of North Carolina have been demonstrating their superiority also. A white man is charged with rape on a white girl. He is put in a little wooden jail. A group of those "superior" mutated descendants of J. loven himself go to the jail, remove the dike, trapist and antitate him by severing the spermatic cord. The rapist or alleged rapist, as the case may be, is about death and the community is up in arms over the outrage perpetrated against him.

This is an example of mob rule at its best, and its highest efficiency. It is inconsistent, for according to southern congressmen nobody, in the South raptes white women but Negro men. This mob of ten enslaves being composed of white men must have known this. On is forged to draw the conclusion that there was some other reason for the mutilation of this man. For it is only Negro men that white women fear when they walk the country roads of the South alone.

THE OLYMPIA Mrs. Wallace Reid in "Broken Laws" will be the Olympia Theatre special on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. It deals with the necessity for law observance and respect for the laws, particularly as it effects children. It combines the theme of Mother Love and Respect of Law in a vire, dramatic story of two families of a middle west town.

Million Dollars Awaits Missing Colored Woman Associate Negro Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 3.—So far, Emma Johnson, 37, has not made her appearance to claim a forfeiture of $750,000 in Oklahoma oil bills. A white attorney of Oklahoma was in the city this week seeking only the hand Emma three quarters of a million dollars. The woman is said to have married an Indian in Oklahoma and later to have left him. When he died some years ago, half of his accords went to the tribe and half was held in trust for his wife. Oil has since been found and Emma is now nearly a millionaire—if she only knew it. India is the world's treasury house of pearls and the 'chosest collections of them are owned by native rulers. The Gaekwar of Baroda has a sash made of 100 rows of pearls with a lassel of pearls tipped with emeralds. His Highness possesses what probably is the most valuable jewel ornament in all the world, a shawl of pearls ten feet long and six feet wide. This shawl or rug, literally is woven of strings of pearls and its center and border are set with diamonds. It is worth several millions of dollars. A necklace of eight strings of pearls, which are said to be the finest specimens in India, and also worth millions, is owned by the Rahal of Dholpur. In the Far-East, and especially in Manchuria, and in China bordering on Mongolia, thousands of factories are dedicated exclusively to dog breeding. When the animals are seven months old, they are killed by strangulation so as not to rule their skins. These skins, with very thick hair, became of the 'great cold in these regions, provide winter coats for the inhabitants of the Chinese empire, new the Chinese republic.

C., April 8. Immigration experts here are studying the laws to determine whether, under certain strict intergrations, Mexicans and South and Central Americans of preponderance Indian blood are barred from entry into this country. Inquiries have been initiated by the Labor Department, which administers the immigration laws, as to the exact racial makeup of the Indians of Latin-American countries. If he is neither a white man nor a person of African descent, he would be barred. It is contended in some quarters, although a number of considerations might make for a different interpretation. If the issue comes over a Mexican Indian, it is pointed out, it might come under the terms of a special treaty signed with Mexico at the conclusion of the Mexico treaty, the racial question could be ignored. This, however, would be a case for Court decision, and other Central or South American republics would present a different problem. By Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Editor of THE CRISIS For a long time it has been the policy of President Fayette Avery McKenzie to return to form students who wailed voluntarily to withdraw from Fisk and other other institution, an official statement showing their class clamming and the work they had done at Fisk while in attendance. Several times lawsuits have been threatened because of this retaliation. Three cases where the student was not under discipline, when they were not objectionable had been repeatedly told that he did not like the he be could not sue. Nevertheless when she was to degree he was unable to breath residents. This has been the case for years but in the recent annual the Hutuation has been intensified. McKenzie is determined that "the dissatisfied students must witness that at Fisk University or lose their chance of education. Nevertheless when threatened with damage-suits on account of his unwavered arrest of all students during the associated "riot," McKenzie, having no witnesses to support him, went into court and on condition that the damage suits withdrawn, signed the following pledge: "Fisk University will give the undersigned students their credits so as to enable them to matriculate in any other standard University, and will not throw any objection or impediment in the way of their matriculation in any other educational institution" Police Doings WARRANTS OBTAINED: LILLIE MAY FORCEN. 3176 Cook avenue, granary land, arrested by Detectives Charles E.

Y., April 8.—The United Colored Democracy, the title by which the New York Negro contingency of the Democratic party has functioned, is having a merry battle within itself, that not only promises considerable disturbance in the political status in Harlem, but threatens the status of the Negro in the city controlling politics of the Democratic organization. For years the Negro organization created upon the lines that have entrenched the general Tammany society in the control of the metropolis and made it a factor in national politics, has been operated as a distinct unit of the bigger one, "Chief Lee" was its organizer. He is still active the for many years in a minor place. Robert Woods, deceased was the power who ascended in 1912, when the body took on a city-wide aspect. It has grown to prodigious importance in the hands of commissioner of Civil Service Ferdinand Q. Morton in recent years. A number of minor leaders have lately lent encouragement to the white district leaders who have always clashed under the knowledge that a Negro exerted greater influence in the councils of the party than could any of them representing but a single district. The Negro leaders who demand that the Negro be enlisted as part of the local district organizations, most of whom are doing positions at the hand of Mofet, are doing so in the hope that they may gain more consequence in their respective duties as the "white leaders" Men's Friday than they can be under the conditions that prevail. Morton 'charges that opposition comes to him mainly from white politicians and white proprietors of all night amusement places. "Because I have insisted on our community being kept clean," Commissioner Morton said. "I understand I have incurred the ennity of a certain element. The section in which Negroes live should not be honey-capped with all night amusement resorts and I have insisted, that only a Haitian number be allowed to do business." Its fine to see a really rich man a really good man at heart. FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1925 THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS JUNIOR IDEAS Edited By LORETTA E. OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES It was three o'clock, and they had fifteen minutes to get to the station. With a hardy handshake of the three and the Messrs. Cunningham, Jr. and Sr. they were on their way to the station. Raymond would not go to the hotel for his other clothes, but took Mrs. Cunningham and his "soon to be wife" to Festus. Mo., with him, at 7.53 p.3 m, the train rolled into Festus, and Raymond and his companion went immediately to a minister. When the ceremony was over, they went to Raymond's home where they were warmly greeted by his mother. Things had changed. Old Van was dead, and the house stood weather beaten and worn. When the St. Louis home was finished, Mrs. Cunningham would not return, but remained with Sophia and Raymond and they spent the remainder of their lives happily together. MOTHER It is a wonderful thing—a mother. Other folks can take you, but only a mother understands. She works for you, looks after you; she loves you, forgives you of anything you may do. And the only astonishing thing she ever does is to die and leave you alone. Submitted by Kewni Jolita, M. McCoy EASTER Easter is the festival commemorating the resurrection of Christ, observed in many branches of the Christian church. By the first Christians it was regarded as continuing the feast of the Passover, at which the palestinian lamb, a symbol of Christ, was sacrificed. Hence its name in Greek and in the Romanesque languages is taken from the Hebrew "pesach" meaning passover. The English name comes from the Ancient Amazon Eastré" a goddess of light or the festival was celebrated in April. The Council of Nice in 325 fixed Easter on the first Sunday after the full moon.

Name Address Age Birthday City State Human slavery flourishes in the African Sudan. During the war England's Arab allies were found to have colored slave troops. After the war the English discovered that Arabian ships touching African coast returned ostensibly loaded with goods but in their holdings were hundreds of blacks destined for the Arab slave markets. England, it is reported, has been trying to suppress this traffic, even to patrolling the coast with high-powered destroyers. But the Arabs are a slipery lot and the slave-running continues. THE LITTLE THEATRE Amateur dramatic productions have been staged by the Race in Sutlip, a remarkable success due to recent vigorous work and greater possibilities for this enterprise that have been considerably neglected. Notable among the productions that have been presented are the Urban League plays, the plays of Mrs. Ruth Shelton and plays by church organizations. It may seem foolish or unwise to talk about bettering the past status of dramatic works in this city, but it is not used here in the sense of raising to a higher-standard, as one might ordinarily take it, but, rather, it has the meaning of furthering the possibilities of the amateur theatre, by putting it on the highest basis of practicability, so that the citizens might reap its benefits in the fullest measures, and the greatest amount of satisfaction from the love of which this might be accomplished is what is commonly called the "little theatre." The following is an announcement which appeared on a Norfolk Va. bulletin last week: "Thais," a drama of unusual climaxes and opportunities for dramatic portrayals, will be presented at the Attucks Theatre, Monday night, April 20, under the auspices of the Players' Guild. "The play is the story of an Alexandrian Courtezan, who finds life through the efforts of a Christian Monk. The great love of the Monk turning to save Thais culminates in a comax that is unusual. "The group of amateurs has done well to get their play for their performance. A cast of fifty persons, well known in Norfolk, are players in this group. "The characters are represented by local talent under the direction of Miss E. A. Lighter." This is the announcement of an amateur theatre, one of the many similar institutions through which the colored citizens of Washington, New York and many other large metropolis are working out their problems of Negro dramatic presentations. The organization and operation of the community theatre is not such a colossal venture, nor such an impossible little theatre with the scientific little theatre has found steady growth among the whites. One finds them spread out in cities and towns all over the country. The community theatre is still in its early stages among the Negro house, but it is fast gaining strength and popularity. One of the ordinary ways of organizing the little theatre is through a club, although some individual or private enterprise is often behind an institution. Through the club members only those who have dramatic ability is solicited, but, also, members who may act as sponsors for the organization. in the organization of the little theatre three things should be given weighty consideration: the剧院 the audience and the players. certain extent, and to super personals can comfortably be built in it that could be seen plainly. There are many places that meet these requirements, that could be rented cheaply and put into satisfactory shape by members of the club. In several cities, little theaters have started out and been very successful through this method. There are numerous other plans for obtaining headquarters for the per-unit theatre, but this is the most approved of medium. The little theatre must pay special attention to its patrons, for it is up on them that it must depend for its support. There are many ways of getting the patronage of the community. One is by selling tickets for a series of performances in ad vance. This is a good method, but it is by having co-operate members enrolled in the club to attend its airfairs, in a number ampleent to make them a financial success. Still an WILLIAM "BILL" BAILEY The many friends of "Bill Bailey will be pleased to hear that he has been appointed special representative of the Hoyle and Rutrick Clothing Company, G0N 1. Broadway, the leading credit clotheers of the city. Mr. Bailey says, "I will be glad to call on my many acquaintances and explain to them our easy payment plan and arrange special terms to suit their convenience. You can pay you away." This firm has a large stock of extraordinary fine goods to select from. See their advertisement on page 8 of this issue of the Argus. other is by having the single ticket method, but letting the community that he treats is representing it, and depending on it for suctes. This is perhaps the surrest means of support. The play and the players are the most important things in the organization of an amateur theatre, for they are what generally make or destroy its chances for success. The club that makes up the theatre will of course have a president, secretary, and other staff who impose offices that must be considered in selecting an executive staff is the personnel that will make up the theatrical staff including a manager, stage director etc., under whom there should be committees for the reading and selection of plays, the making of scenery, selection of costumes, care for electric lighting etc. The bitter shirt should be responsible for the dressing of actors, the training of actors, and the selection of plays that are most likely to take best with the public, etc. As to the players for a community theatre, they need not be experienced, but they should be selected in accordance with their display of dramatic ability, and then trained to their parts under a skilled director. Players for the community theatre need not devote their time to theatrical duties to the sacrifice of other duties of earning a livelihood. Indeed the training and study for the stage should only go so far as to be a pleasant and beneficial diversion during the spare moments or those representing the dramatic persona. It is not expected that the actors and actresses of the community theatre should be engaged in playwriting in those engaged by commercial theatres, nor is it expected that they should be as good as those on the commercial stage. The community play house is more of a laboratory where both the audience and all those connected with the producing, most especially the playwright, receive valuable training, and benefits that come from the peculiar virtues of the drama itself.

What did she have to say? Well, she was somewhat depressed over Mary's desire to go out so many evenings in a week and she feels that you girls are just a bit indiscreet in your conduct. Oh, Auntie, Mary's mother is a dear sweet woman, but a bit too old fashioned in her ideas for this day and generation. Well, Mabel, I agreed with her in all she said. Do you really believe, Auntie, that the girls of today are a bit worse than in your day? I don't know that I do. Mabel and I was frank enough to tell Mary's mother so, but on the other hand, I believe the parents (especially mothers) are not as careful with their girls as mothers in my day. Why do you say they are not as careful, Auntie? Mabel, I have frequently heard it said, "give him an inch and he'll take an ell." Mothers today are doing just that. They are giving too many inches and the majority of the girls are going the full length. Ma- WANT HIM TO HEAD MASONS OF THE STATE WANT HIM TO HEAD MASONS OF THE STATE PETER H. ST.-JOSSEPH, Mo. April 2. —The Pasmasters' Council of Articulate Freed and Accepted Masons unanimously endorsed Bro. Harry H. Walker for Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Missouri, at a regular meeting of the council, held a few weeks ago at the Masonic Temple, Second and Lewis streets. His endorsement is a attribute to enthusiasm of the Masonic society and the assets of a trustworthy, and the record as Grand Treasurer of the M.W. Grand Lodge, serving in that office-treveal continuous years. Brother Walker has been a member of the Grand Lodge for twenty-seven years, and has attended, every session since his affiliation with the grand body, holding therein official connection eighteen years, earnestly serving seven. Past Grand Masters during their terms of office. As grand treasurer, he handled more than a quarter of a million dollars, giving a just' and accurate accounting for every penny. His loyalty and devotion to the higher branches of the Order have won for him the popularity and esteem of the brethren thruout the entire jurisdiction. P ry's mother was poor, that to herself. Why, Auntie, I think Mary is old enough to go out with young men. Perhaps so, but since she isn't old enough to be out of school, she isn't enough to be out in company. I hold these lax mothers responsible for the things they, which they complain, so often. They permit their girls to run entirely too much and too often in the care of boys who are not old enough to be away from their own homes after dark. What can they expect? On my way from Mary's home, I met girls not more than 15 years of age uncompanied, walking the streets at an hour when I was afraid to be out. On other occasions, I have met children all the way from 6 to 15 going into the movies when I was coming out, and I wondered to myself where on earth were the mothers of these children, especially the girls. It is a little hard, perhaps, to keep up with a boy. Mabel, but there is no excuse for the right sort of mother losing her girl after dark. It they would stop, long enough to know that it is too late to lock the barn after the horse is out, I think they would exercise more care. Good-bye, Mabel. Bood-bye, Auntie. Brother Walker has been a trusted employee of the Post Office Department for twenty-one years, and is an integral part of the citizenship of this city and state, enjoy the confidence of both races. Therefore, we, the Past Masters Council of St. Joseph, Mo., appeal to the burden of the jurisdiction for their soler thoughts, loyal and hearty cooperation in the election of Brother Walker as Grand Master of Mussons for Missouri and its Jurisdiction at their next annual communication.

Two weeks ago Hubbard also equalled the world's record of 66 15 seconds for the 60 yard dash in a dual meet between Cornell and Michigan. The fleet athlete finished first in the high hurdle race in the same meet, his time being .07 5.10. One of the most impressive athletic performances seen hereabout in recent weeks was turned in by Geoff Cook, the big colored boy, who correctly represented Stuyvesant High School of New York, and who is now a student in Syracuse University, in the special 600 yard race at the Knights of Columbus carnival at Madison Square Gardens. Although he was beaten in the event, he was right on the heels of Alain Haffrich whom he forced to clip more than a second off the former world's record to win. Critics have already stated that he may develop into one of the country's greatest middle distance runners, and join ranks with John Taylor, Penn's one time star Negro middle distance runner, and Earl Johnson, champion amateur middle distance runner of the U.S. Every year the Japanese send their best college baseball teams to this country to play the leading colleges in this country.

RACE FORMING COMMON TYPE Famous Scientist Declares Colored Americans Are Becoming A More Homogeneous Type. WASHINGTON. D. C. March 25—In an address before the Anthropological Society of Washington, Friday, on "Some Aspects of the Anthropology of the American Negro" Dr. L. J. Herksovitz, of the National Research Council, stressed the fact that there is a tendency toward racial solidarity among the American Negro, more so than there is among the American whites. Variations Decreasing In his address, based on the problem of the variability in racial crossing of the Negro-Indian-white groups, Dr. Herkosvitz declared that research developed a conception of present inter-racial admixture as a homogeneous, rather than a heterogeneous group, and showed lesser variability among Negro Americans than among the white population. Conclusions were drawn from tests made of the 1,300 colored school children of the Harlem district of New York, whose parents came from all parts of the United States and the West Indies. Negro variability from a homogeneous type in America, the speaker stated, was as low as that of the Buslars of Africa or of the Chippewa Indians or Bavarians. The statement accorded with the theory of Professor Todd, of the Western Reserve University, of greater variability among the white American group Research by Dr. Herksovitch revealed that the growth curve of colored children who live on the poverty line, compared with that of white children who live on the highest level, shows that up to 16 years, the Negro child averages 5 pounds heavier and is from 4 to 6 centimeters taller than the white child. Forming Detinite Group He declared that researches, now being conducted by him, among the male students of Howard University, reveal phenomena of prime importance that show conclusively there is more consolidation toward a definite group among the Negroes than among the whites. Of 300 genealogies taken at Howard University yesterday, only 10 had white, grandparent. With other similar stafffathers, the speaker concluded that racial crossing is at present on a marked decrease. Dr. Herksovitz indicated the physical destiny of the Negro in America, by demonstrating that among 50 per cent of students in Howard University, and in other groups studied, the mother was lighter than the father. He presented measurements which he regarded as a working hypothesis that the Negro is tending to become a stabilized homogeneous group. Discuss Address · The address was discussed by Dr. Hrdlycka and by Dr. Paul Bartsch of Howard Medical School. Dr. Bartsch attacked the veracity of conclusions drawn from genealogies which disclosed the color of the legal parent, but which could not demonstrate beyond a doubt the biological parentage. The loose social conditions in many sections do not assure that the legal parents are the actual parents of the child, unfortunately.

Bishop Manning Preaches in New York Bishop Manning of the Episcopal diocese of New York, preached in the pulpit of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church recently. He spoke on Christian Unity and took as his text: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female, for we are all one in Christ Jesus." He spoke nobly and notably. The Christianity of White America is a mere "sounding brass and a thinking symbol" as long as it is filled with prejudice and class hatred. Either Christianity is wrong or white America is wrong. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob: the Jesus Christ whose resurrection will be celebrated on Easter Sunday, are made the subjects of meekness in the religion practiced by the majority of American whites and of Colored America there is being made no end of skeptics. "But right is right since God Is God, and right the day must wire." Japanese Invasion of The South People are thinking, and giving play to their imagination. The older day in New York City, I had an extensive conference with a highly intelligent man who has been in the War Department for more than a score of years. He has traveled all over the world and can see the folly of race hatred in it most glowing insidiousness. He talked of Japan. He talked of Russia. He stated that there may some day be a Japanese invasion to the South through Mexico. That the Japanese would seek territory and hence might leap off all of the country south of the unbreaking Mason and Dixon line. That they would place it under Japanese control, and force the whites of this section to treat all people with justice. The Colored people would be given the absolute equality now guaranteed them under the Constitution but which is now, so far as those right are concerned, a mere scrap of paper. That the states North would then be absolutely fair to all men because being true of egalism and conceit, bowed down by adversity and the sins of omission as well as commission, there would be no heart or disposition, to further continue to play the hypocrite. A mere pipe dream? He cited Poland and Germany and Russia. "Ten years ago the same people would have called a prophecy of changes such as have taken place in those countries' pipe dreams,' and they were changed, over night so to speak, in the swirling of an eye. Shall we pray? God hasten or stay the day?" Senator Willis of Ohio for President News dispatches of the week de- clare that Senator Frank D. Willis of Ohio, is starting out on a speaking tour with the idea of making an ex- hibition of himself before the Ameri- can people in order that he may hear the call for residence in the Whit- House in 1928, and thereafter for four or eight years. Stranger things have happened, but I hope. This won't. W want no more. Presidents from Ohio hundreds of Colored Americans have told me. They have a right to say that, judged by Hayes, Taft and Harding. All of them fell that on the racial questions, and trucked to the claims of prejudice. McKinley, backed by Mark Hanna, was the only President who measured up from the Ohio galaxy. Senator Willis will be no better than any of the predecessors. He will four-fish and truckle. Like Harding, he has an en- gaging personality and is a good speaker. He will make some gestures in behalf of the race; extend the glad hand and pat us on the back, fi- ently. But Colored America is sick and tired of that type of Presidents of the United States. With them we get nowhere except backwards. We want a President with backbone who guts, one who will not low down to the Band of the bourbon South or any here where men are not treated as men. Already in Washington there is the talk of 'issues.' The greatest issue of nations is the issue of human right, and by this scale, we are weighted in the balance and found wanting. Election Laws Of the South it is a matter of satisfaction that the National Race Congress has set out to bring before the country the issue of Disfranchisement in the South. The Democratic primary laws of the South are a direct infringement of the Constitution of the United States. There are no Republican primaries because the Democratic laws are so fixed that this constitutional right is prevented.

Walking Information Bureau "Praise from Sir Rupert is praised indeed." In New York, in the office of the Negro World, of which he is now editor, I had the great pleasure of a long talk with T. Thomas Fortune. Who is he? No history of Negro journalism can be written with out his name taking first rank in the story. Founder of the New York Age, he, with Jerome Peterson, under the firm name of Fortune and Peterson, made a powerful instrument for good out of that well known publication at a time when racial journalism was looked upon with a small degree of concern. In those days the classes, ing the masses, read. Edw. E. Cooper introduced a new day in Negro journalism when he made the Indianapolis Freeman an illustrated newspaper. Pictures, are the universal language of mankind. Cooper, with drawing from the Freeman, and the same taken over by the external Knoxes, George L., father; and Elwood, went to Washington and established the Colored American. Booker T.

Shortly after the Associated Negro Press was established, Mr. Fortune wrote a comment of praise on the standard and necessity of the service that is still used as a tablet of inspiration. There is never been anything of the strength about Mr. Fortune. He has always had a good word to say about the new members of the Fourth Estate. To talk with him is an education in itself. He is rich in experience and memories of great contacts. For years his editorial utterances have been quoted by great dailies of the country. Today, besides his work on the Negro World, he writes for the Titter magazine and is one of the editorial writers of the justly famed Norfolk Journal and Guide. Mr. Fortine is 68 and is vigorous in his desires to keep on writing. He is neither wealthy nor penless. Colored-editors could well afford to see that this nester of journalism never knows want. T.

MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Foreign Advertising Representative W. B. Zinf, Cc. 400 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. MALONE FOR REGISTER OF TREASURY Rumors have it that President Calvin Coolidge has about made up his mind to appoint a Negro as Register of the United States Treasury. This news, of course, will be met with a grand rush of applicants for the office on the part of politicians, and what nots. Among those whose names have been mentioned, is that of A. E. Malone, our fellow townsman. We understand that Mr. Malone, who is a business man of our city, is in a receptive mood should this office be offered him at the hands of the President, Mr. Malone's acquaintance in the business and financial world makes him well qualified for the place. We do not know, however, whether the President has reached a decision in this matter or not, but we are taking the liberty to call his attention to Mr. Malone that he may not overlook a good bet in the selection of the proper man for the place. THE MAYORALTY ELECTION The Honorable Victor J. Miller has been elected mayor of this city. Many of the colored people voted for him because they had faith in the man, that he would be fair and square, and would do the right thing as mayor of the city toward all citizens regardless of race, creed, or religion; while others voted or him simply because he was on the Republican ticket. So here is little doubt but that he received the majority of the votes cast by the Negro voters in the city. The Honorable Victor J. Miller, this city. Many of the colored people he had faith in the man, that he should do the right thing as mayor regardless of race, creed, or for him simply because he was on there is little doubt but that he votes cast by the Negro voters in. We have no quarrel with those Miller. They may be just as honors who supported Mr. Igoe. We are truly made. All we hope now, is to their confidence in Mr. Miller, he ministers of the city, together with their seal of approval upon Mr. Miller. Responsibility has fallen upon the effect Mr. Miller to make good his purpose. Our opposition to Mr. Miller will link connection. We know that the enemy. We know that the ascent means a decrease in our common belief then, and it is our belief now. Fortunately for Mr. Miller, he must the kind of man he is. "By them." In fact, we sincerely hope as the colored people are concerned give him our support. Surely, some of the ministers barred to see their names mixed and so, which appeared in the St. magine that such a list furnished metropolitan daily newspaper. MAKING PHOTO We must congratulate the coloured to get out of the "same old antrodden paths in a political way their conditions, as was shown in the returns in the wards who vote, show, by a conservative, estated for Mr. Igoe, the Democrat from a thousand who refused to do what was created by the issues I progress.

Tuesday's election colored masses are beginning to the leaders of the past have been trying getting nowhere. Hence we Tuesday's election because we got the same old rut, and we hope, and more free to move and have and races have. Sure we believe in party organization, but we do not believe the best men in the party because. Not alms, not pity, not sympathy, and we will make our way. The vote is a mighty power-power is not using his vote for all. The Klan has brought the Catholics and the Greeks—we have trouble is brewing in the Sixth Report. Remember, brethren are those who are standing at the door so." Yes, we all agree now, that long, since we have seen shifting campaign. Attorney Silas E. Garner Corrects Bad Impression We have no quarrel with those who voted and supported Mr. Miller. They may be just as honest in their action as those of who supported Mr. Igoe. We all are subject to mistakes honestly made. All we hope now, is that since these people have put their confidence in Mr. Miller, he will not disappoint them. The insists of the city, together with some other leaders, have put their seal of approval upon Mr. Miller, and in so doing, a grave responsibility has fallen upon them. They will, therefore, expect Mr. Miller to make his promise or, "the people perish." Our opposition to good Mr. Miller was based upon our belief in hisilan connection. We know that the Ku Klux Klan is our arch enemy. We know that the ascendancy to power of the Klan means a decrease in our common rights as citizens. In taking our position, we believed that our course was the best for the colored people of the city at this time. It was our belief then, and it is our belief now. Fortunately for Mr. Miller, he will have the chance to prove just the kind of man he is. "By their fruits, ye shall know them." In fact, we sincerely hope that he will make good, so far as the colored people are concerned. In this, we stand ready to give him our support. Surely, some of the ministers of the city felt very much embarrassed to see their names mixed up with that list of "Dr." so and so, which appeared in the St. Louis Star a few days ago. We imagine that such a list furnished food for fun in an office of a metropolitan daily newspaper. MAKING PROGRESS We must congratulate the colored voters of the city who dared to get out of the "same old rut," and strike out for new and untrrodden paths in a political way, with the hope of bettering their conditions, as was shown in the recent election. The returns in the wards where there was a large Negro vote, show, by a conservative estimate, that more than 5000 voted for Mr. Igoe, the Democratic candidate for mayor, aside from a thousand who refused to vote because of the confusion that was created by the issues in the campaign. This shows progress. Those who have seen automobiles run in the same rut, know that it requires hard steering and more gas to get out of the rut; but once out, they are free to find new paths and make progress. So we feel, under the circumstances, congratulations are in order. In getting out of the rut, on the part of the few, the whole race gets a big boost in the eyes and estimation of the general public; because it demonstrates that the colored man, as a voter, was not the thoughtless slave, in a political way, that he has been pictured; but a thoughtful citizen, capable of thinking and voting as other groups and races. There were those who actually thought that the Negro, that is, the most of them, did not know how to vote what is called a "split ticket," or that they were afraid that some great calamity would befall them if they danced to do it. Tuesday's election has proved different. The colored masses are beginning to think. They can see that the leaders of the past have been trotting them around in a circle, but getting nowhere. Hence, we are proud of the results of last Tuesday's election because we got somewhere. We got out of the same old rut, and we hope, as time rolls on, we will be free and more free to move and have our being just as other men and races have. Sure we believe in party organizations. We believe in party regularity, but we do not believe in party discrimination against the best men in the party because of race or religion. Not alms, not pity, not sympathy; just get out of our sun-ight, and we will make our way. The vote is a mighty power.—The fellow who is not getting power is not using his vote for all it is worth. The Klan has brought the fight to us.—Negroes, Jews, ortholics and the Greeks—we have no alternative. Trouble is brewing in the Sixth Ward, according to the latest report. Remember, brethren, you are on trial. There are those who are standing at the door just ready to say, "I told you so." Yes, we all agree now, that politics make strange bed-fellows, since we have seen shiftings and changes in the recent campaign. There seems to be some bitter selling on the market, and many buyers, because of some problems. PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE LOUIS ARGUS PUBLISHES 1312-14 Market St. St. Louis, Phone, Bomont 1452 M. M.

I hereby tender my resignation as Precinct Chairman—of the 11th Presidency of the Sixth Ward, said resignation to take effect immediately. editor St. Louis Argus: A recent-meeting was held in Long- lass Hall for the selection of an Ex- ecutive Committee of colored citizens to cooperate with the City Central Committee in putting over the republican ticket. In the election on April 7, 1952, the committee names lined up. Most of the candidates in the audi- tion stated that in his opinion a minister of the gospel should be on the committee. At this intimation some one thoughtlessly shouted "We don't want any preacher on this committee" others chined in until there was a general "body of instinations, traitors and jests, which must have humiliated the ministers in the audience and dis- graced the thoughtful layman who were present. This too, when every one in the audience must have, known some minister of the city in whom he had faulted confidence. The ministry of the city hardly needs tiths, gratitude defense. They have among their number some of the ablest minds in public life, and they are capable of taking care of themselves. But it is felt that they should know that there are laymen of the city who do not approve of what was said at that meeting of the Ministry of the Church. Alliance of the African Methodist Episcopal Church make public their aptitude in the matter. An injustice has been done. In the least of a political campaign when passion is high a wide attitude must be laoved for a wide speech, but there is a point beyond which the most irresponsible must not be permitted to uninfluenge. It is a solemn moment to see anybody rise in a public gathering whatever its nature or the occasion, and question the integrity of the entire ministry of a graff city. Of course, no argument is necessary to prove that such charges and instructions grow out of utter recklessness and wain disregard of fairness and the truth. Bishops and other catholic men of the church whose lives are more reprehach, have been vigilants of this mischievance. It is one of the easiest things to mention, but it is hard to build one. Happily history does not record an instance where man has been honored for maligning his fellowman, no cross of war, no medal of honor has been awarded, nor do we find memorials erected to the memory of man for destroying the reputation and good name of his fellow man. Society has no place for such destructive forces. The public confidence in the ministry should never be tampered with unless there are serious and weighty reasons because more harm than good is done; the resultant is a weakening of the faith of the people, always, not so much in the ministry, but in the church. There are enough undermining influences operating against the church without sowing new forces in motion. Let us reassert our faith in the ministry of our city, and acknowledge their moral leadership whenever decisions are to be made upon great public question. Signed. ATTY, FRANK S. BLEDSOE, DR. C. M. POWELL, HENRY MASTON. TRADE WEEK TRADE WEEK Judging from, the enthusiasm shown at the meeting of the League Tuesday evening, Trade Week will be one long to be remembered.

MICHIGAN STATE WARNS NEGROES TO BEWARE OF THE REAL ESTATE SHARKS MICHIGAN STATE WARNS NEGROES TO BEWARE OF THE REAL ESTATE SHARKS Preston News Service. LANSING, Mich. April 8.—Reports are being received by the Division of Negro Welfare and Statistics that salesmen for questionable real estate firms are again active through the South, and are offering for sale tracts of unanticipated Michigan lands for farming purposes," declared C. A. Campbell, Director of Negro Welfare. Continuing Mr. Campbell rays. "Sexually flattering offers are being made to colored people who plan to move North and the quality of the land is palated in glowing terms." "Very little fertile or even illiquid soil is being offered by these agencies, as Michigan has thousands of acres of workless land, particularly in lake and manistis counties, and strenuous efforts are being made by study real estate dealers to upload this land," he said. State Offers Ad to Newcomers Michigan has a large number of good farm land and the Negro Division is making special efforts to have them on the land for "forest" or "forest" is claimed by the new comers from the South. Inquiries from interested persons will be welcomed. The State Department will make authentic reports on all Michigan land. Mr. Campbell says that with only a partial knowledge of the Michigan Certified Land Act, there is small possibility for one to become victimized in land swindles in Michigan, as under this law the buyer can, and is advised to insist upon dealing only with accts registered with the Michigan Department of Agriculture. The prospective purchaser should also insist upon seeing a detailed report of the property in question as submitted by the State Land Examiner. Some Michigan Cities Overcrowded Mr. Campbell also points out a recent survey of the industrial centers of Michigan, particularly Detroit, Flint and Muskegan, shows an overcrowded condition that is dangerous to the health and morals of the newcomers and seriously affects the social and industrial status of the Negro family. Mr. Campbell believes that a farm movement will remedy this condition as well as place the race in Michigan on a former foundation of independence.

CANNON DIES JESSE CITY, N. J. April 7. Dr. George E.

Realizing the loss to the race in a political way, William G. Mathews, organizer of the colored voters in the organ national campaign, sent Mrs. Cannon the following telegram: "Mrs. Geo, E. Cannon, 354 Pacific Ave, Jersey City, N.

FITEWATER, D.D., Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Q. 1825, Western Newspaper Union.) THE CRIPPLE AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE LESSON TEXT—Acts GOLDEN TEXT—"I am the Lord that health thee."—Ex. 15:26. PRIMARY, TOPIC—The Story of a Lame Man. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Care of a Cripple. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Care of a Cripple and Its Results. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Church's Ministry to Body and Soul. The indications are that some months had elapsed since Pentecost. The believers were being taught by the apostles who were showing their credentials by their mighty works (Acts 2:43). 1. The Lame Man Healed (v. 1:11). 1. The Occasion (v. 1). Peter and John were going to the house of worship. They were friends who were mutual complements—each having that which the other lacked. This fellowship was according to the Lord's own arrangement and was most fitting. They were going up to Jerusalem to worship, though they knew full well the corruption of Judalsm. 2. The Place (v. 2). It was at the gate which leads from the outer to the inner court of the temple. It was called beautiful because of its magnificent bronze doors. This man was placed at the entrance to the place of worship because when a man comes closest to God he also comps closest to his fellowmen. 3. The Man (vv. 2-3). This beginner was inform from his birth. He was a familiar figure, known by the people for years. When he saw Peter and John he asked alms. 4. The Method (vv. 4-8). (1) Gained the Man's Attention (v. 4). Peter and John commanded him to look on them. The sinner's attention must be secured before Christ can heal him. Having secured his attention they gave him more than he ushed or expected. He asked for money and got healing. (2) Peter Commanded Him in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and walk (v. 6). This was the very thing he was unable to do for so many years. Was not this mocking his very impotency? No! No! for it was in the name of Jesus. With the command went the ability to do. (3) Peter Took Him by the Right Hand (v. 7). This act was meant to give impetus to his faith, not strength to his ankles. 5. The Man's Response (v. 8) Strength came to his feet and ankle bones at once. He stood; he walked; he leaped and shouted praises to God. He thoroughly advertised the miracle. He ascribed the honor to God for his hentling, and walked into the house of God. 6. The Effect (vy, 0-11) The people were filled with wonder and amazement. The multitude ran together to see this remarkable thing. There was no question as to the genuineness of the miracle for this man had been a familiar figure for many years. It was evident that something supernatural had occurred. (1) The helgless beggar had to be carried to the temple gate. Men and women out of Christ are spiritually helpless. We should bring sinners to Christ. (2) Taking him by the hand shows the manner of Christian help. Ministers of Christ may not have silver or gold, but have something infinitely better to give. (3) Peter Witnessed of Jesus Before the Multitude (sv. 12:26). This miracle focused the attention of the people upon Peter and John. Peter immediately turned their attention from himself to Christ. Peter seized the opportunity to present Christ to the people who had assemblied. He told them that it was by faith in Jesus Christ whom the God of their fathers had goodified, whom they had delivered up and denied before Prince when he desired to set Him free, and had desired a murderer to be granted to them instead. He showed that the disciples were also witnesses that God had raised Jesus from the dead and charged home upon them their new guilt; for they had denied the Holy one and chosen Earbless, a purifier, instead of Christ, and even killed the Prince of Life. Despite their crime he appealed to them to repent (v. 19). Since they had committed this awful crime in ignorance, God would partition their sin if they would revert, and he assured them that they should yet enjoy refreshing seasons from the Lord when God would send back Jesus Christ to earth to consummate the work of redemption. Your Conscience Remember this: that your conscience is not a law—no; God and reason made the law, and He placed conscience within you to determine.—Sterne. The Treasure-Chest God made the earth to supply human needs. Constantly we are proving if to be a treasure-chest. We have but to lift the lid and help ourselves.—Evangelical, Tidings.

At 1 the close of the service two persons united with the church, Rev Chamney / praecedor a splendid sermon for club No. 1 at 3 p.m., and the pastor again filled the pulpit at 5 p.m., using as a teqt.

ZION Sunday, April 5, was another great day for Metropolitan church. The pastor preached at both the morning and evening services.

A very important meeting is to be held on Saturday, April 11, 2 p.m. in the years' portion of the Metropolitan A.M. Zion church, Lucas and Gerrison avenues. Every minister will no doubt be there. ** An intensive drive has been launched to raise money to repair, sand-blast the outside of the building, paint up, clean up, decorate the interior, erect a new smoke stack and do various other things about the church. The work has already started. By a careful estimate of the pastor and trustees, it has been found that it will require about $1,000 to put the church in proper order. With this end in view, thirty regular captains have been given clubs with members assigned to work with, and ten special captains, put to work. The rarity is to come about May 17th. The pastor and trustees are to be congratulated on this special effort to put the church in order as it has been allowed to run down considerably and needs it complete overhauling. It is to be hoped that each and every member of the church will join and work with some club in order to raise the money needed for this stipulations undertaking. Also ask your friends to help us. Will you help us beautify the church? Rev H H Jackson, pastor; Nora Hendra is secretary. ST. ANGEL BAPTIST 105' S. 22nd St. The Rev. J. R. Daddin will preach the Easter service at 11 a.m. and the Easter program will be rendered at 8 o'clock Sunday evening. The pastor, Rev. J. R. Tunstell, will speak at 15:20 Biddle, April 15. Come out early to service. Rev. J. R. Tunstell, pastor. BEREA PRESBYTERIAN Jesus, and the Resurrection Whether men will receive it or not, Calvary is the focal point of history and "Jesus and the Resurrection" is the key to history. How to bring unity out of discard has been and is the great problem of the world. Man and God wave the elements at varienced. The cross brings them together. God, as now recruited to man, beseeches man to be reconciled to God. If this be accomplished all is accomplished. Man is not only reconciled to his brother man, but to the whole universe. Paul's sermon at Athens is the most complete specimen of apostolic preaching and its theme was "Jesus and the Resurrection" "Jesus" the Redeemer of men; "the Resurrece elon!" eternal life in His presence. It substitutes for the service of self the service of others. It follows time with eternity. The early Christ tains greeted with "Brother, Christ is risen, and the response was "The is risen indeed." Easter is the vici- ty day of the church. Death is van- quished, Christ has won the victory. let the church the world over sing the triumph. Reception of new members and the sacrament of baptism at the Easter service. Bring flowers, and co- operate with Mrs. Nannie Chise, chair- man of the committee. The new year opened very auspiciously large atten- tance and double the usual offering. Our prayers and sympathy go for Mrs. Clay teacher in the primary department bereaved of her dear brother. The regular meeting of the Missionary society. Thursday. Rev. G. E. Stevens brought the message on the Day of Authority, Monday eve- ning. All the meetings were edifying. Mrs. Christina Barrett, daughter of Mr. James Caldwell, our beloved shut in, is convalescent. A prayer service was held with them Sunday, like as with Mrs. Holiday.* Mrs. Mary Wade and Mrs. Zeen Wagner set a high standard of service at the Ladies Aid meeting. Next month will be their third anniversary and the thirteenth of the pastor's ordination. ** We note with sadness the passing of Rev. H. Magill, who for twenty-five years was stated clerk of the Presbytery. He was conspicuous among his brother for length of service and nuwearing idolcity to his tasks.

One day I heard of Exelente Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25¢ at most drug stores, or will be sent p stained upon receipt of price / the EXELATO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.
