By Nahum Daniel Brascher, Editor (A. N. R. Sorensen) (A. N. P. Service) CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 26.—"The Voice of the Negro" is the latest production of Dr. Gerlin's. It is a well bound book of 200 pages, the most unusual publication that ever came from the press. It just reached my desk today direct from the philshers in New York, E. P. Button and company. The book is made up entirely from news stories and editorials from all our leading newspapers and magazines, touching our expressions, attitudes and beliefs from poetry to "social equality." The clippings from the various publications have been carefully selected, and form a most accurate presentation of the Negro point of view on all the big questions of the day. Every Colored person in America should have a copy of this wonderful book. Every editor should comment on its fairness and timeliness. That is our job. However, Dr. Kerlin, informed me that his chief object in producing this volume was not to distribute it among us, but listen to this: "I desire most of all to open the eyes of the people of my own race to the marvelous progress you are making. I want them to have this book." Is that not a most righteous spirit worthy of the highest commendation and strongest backing? Dr. Kerlin has set out in earnest to do the very thing that we all know is most needed at this time: Open the eyes of the white people of America. Dr. Kerlin says, following the distribution of this book, which does not carry any of his personal opinions on the subject, he is go- THE TULSA STAR ing to issue another book in which he will give his opinions, and that what he says will, well, he didn't say it in this everyday language, but he means that it will "lift the lid" of hypocrisy and "turn back the curtain" of injustice. Hats off to Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, a real American from Virginia—the braveest exponent of the New Voice in the Solid South. MT.

TELEGRAPH MESSENGERS RAISE ROUGH HOUSE H. W. Lilley Says Colored Officers Tried to Compel Him To Pay Telegraph Charges. It Is Alleged Officers Backed White Boys Collecting At Unusual Hour of Night. Several Western Union telegraph messenger boys endeavored to raise a rough house on North Green- wood at an early hour Friday; and Mr. H. W. Lilley of $307^{12}$ North Greenwood is authority for the statement that several Colored offi- cers encouraged the boys in their disturbance and tried to compel him to pay charges he did not bel- ieve were due. It all came about in the following way. Thursday evening at 6 o'clock, Mr. Lilley's wife received a telegram from Virginia announcing the death of her husband's sister, and another telegram was delivered at about seven o'clock. After these telegrams were delivered at Lilley's residence the boys went away down town. At two o'clock Friday morning, the Lilleys were awakened by a knocking at their door, and thinking another telegram had come, arose and went to the door to receive it. But it was not another message, the boy had returned and demanded pay for the telegrams which had been brought the evening before. To this, Mr. Lilley demurred, telling the boy to return at daylight, when he would look into the matter. The boy left but in a little while returned with three or four other boys, and awakening the Lilleys again, demanded the money. Lilley refused to pay and chased them away, the boys then returned with the Colored officer on the beat, who joined them in the racket by beating his club on the walls and side walk, and ordering Lilley to pay the money or be arrested. Lilley leclares he drove the whole bunch away and that about three or three-thirty, the first Colored officer and Barney Cleaver returned and made renewed threats to which he paid no attention, and they retired. Mr. Lilley called at the office of the Western Union Friday where he was told by an official, "That they had no Negro Officers collecting bills for them." Mrs. Lilley was prostrated by the disturbance.

OKLAHOMC CITY, Okla.—Governor J. B. A. Robertson today, in a lengthy letter to Art L. Walker, chairman of the state corporation commission, raked the public service corporation and declared he would ask the next legislature to revoke their charters unless adequate service was rendered to the people. Robertson sent a copy of the letter to the attorney general asking for co-operation. "I am not unmindful of the seriousness of the complaints that keep pouring in to the effect that these various public service corporations are failing to render the people adequate and efficient service, notwithstanding the increased rates that have been granted them," the governor stated. "The service must be improved and unless this is done forthwith a determined effort will be made on the part of the state to cancel the charters and franchises to the end that other persons may be given an opportunity to serve the public in their stead." The chief executive came out flatly against granting railroads an increase in intrastate freight rates until they were in a position "to satisfy your honorable body that they can give good service."

North Main Dep't Store 109 NORTH MAIN STREET --- ETHIOPIAN PRE-HISTORIC CIVILIZATION The Ancient Cushite Empire Which Ruled Three Continents Three Thousand Years Ago. (A. N. P. Service) By Drusilla Dunjee Houston, Special Correspondent. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug 27.—Present day students of General History become mystified at the contradictions as to the races and nations treated therein. Few realize that this falsification constitutes today's most sinister crime. The histories of today are of Aryan production and do not tell the whole story of the Ages. Man might learn many valuable lessons from the Prehistoric Ages that would help to solve correctly some of the bitter problems of today. All ancient histories begin with Egypt, because the uresent day historian does not dare go any further back. When the curtain of history rises we find the civilization of Egypt so old that it had become decadent, yet they profess not to know from whence the culture of the Egyptians came. They speak of the deeds of the peoples that stand behind Egypt as fabulous, yet the pyramids which they built, were very real. To find what was behind Egypt, one must go back into dusty, out of print volumes, the records of the past, that are the original sources of the facts of General History. From these authorities the writers of today, almost as a whole, have chosen what they wanted and have left covered under the veil fabulous, what they did not care to make known. Behind Egypt was a greater empire of which she was only a colony, and which was the source of all she knew and transmitted to Greece and Rome. There is no way to refute these statements or to longer discredit black scholarship, for in anthropology, sociology, archaeology and paleontology the footprints of these ancient and wonderful black people may be found all over the ancient world. gods of the Greeks and Romans were but kings and queens of the Ancient Cushite Empire of Ethiopians, whose people were black. So marvelous were their achievements that in after ages they were worshipped by the Mediterranean races as immortals. The stories of the Arabian Knights which so enthralled us in childhood, and which we believed in our little souls to be true, were written of this ancient people and acutely represents the stories of the gold and silver ages in which they lived. In ancient Chaldea, in Arabia, in India and along the Southern shores of the Mediterranean are to be found the proofs of this pre-historic civilization, dug up in wonder and astonishment by the archeologists of today. Many ancient peoples whom the reader of history does not dream of as dark called themselves Ethiopians. They never knew themselves under the titles that history has given them. Has there been a sinister purpose in this renaming? We shall see as this record proceeds. It is merely a question of taking the word of prejudice and superficial writers or taking the testimony of the universal voice GLOBE T and C We handle Detemer Woolen Suit Prices.

TAGALOG LEADER DE- MANDS FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE Physicians Sewed Instruments Up In Him, But He Pulled Thru Anyway (Star News Service) NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 28.—Gen. Aguinaldo was home after a year in a hospital. He had been operated on for appendicitis and the surgeons had carelessly sewed up an assortment of tools inside the wound and it was necessary to operate the second time. However, fate decreed that neither soldiers nor surgeons should kill him, and the hardy veteran survived. The effects of the ordeal were visible when my host, a slim man of medium height, grave, and pleasant face, with a jet black pompadour, and dressed entirely in white, entered the parlor into which one of the barefoot boys had urshered me. Though he speaks English and Spanish, Aguinaldo preferred to talk his native Tagalog, and called in a young secretary to interpret. "I have kept the oath I made to the United States not to talk politics, but now that the Americans are asking the views of the Filipinos, I will reply," he said. "Our people are happy, contented and more prosperous than they ever dreamed of becoming—as the result of the American rule. The schools have taught them to think, and industries and commerce have shown them the rewards of work. Now we want the independence which was promised to us—(Melencio).

OF THE DEAD IS THE LIGHT OF RICHARD THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD IS THE LIGHT OF HOPE FOR HUMANITY A. W. H. In order that you, dear people, may know that I am in great earnest and desire to enlighten you, concerning God's plan of Salvation, I wish it understood that while I am a poor man and look to God to open the way for my living, while this side of the vale, I will pay all necessary expenses anywhere in the state of Oklahoma to secure a proper public place for my opponents to meet me before the public and clear themselves, through the Scriptures of the charges that I have made and are making against them. from Adam to the Flood, a period of one thousand six hundred and fifty-six years or about 150 years to each generation). Now let us see; six thousand years are sixty centuries; three generations to each century would give us one hundred and eighty generations since Adam; and one billion four hundred million to a generation would give two hundred and fifty two billion as the total number of our race from creation down to 1872, according to this very liberal estimate, which is certainly more than twice the actual number. The present population of earth to date, is estimated to be about one billion, six hundred million; but our very liberal estimate and calculations of the human race from creation to 1872 should more than convince the reasonably minded that the estimated two hundred millions more persons since 1872 to date can easily be provided for in the resurrection. Where shall we find room enough for this great multitude when resurrected? Let us measure the land and see. The state of Texas contains two hundred and thirty seven thousand square miles. There are twenty seven million, eight hundred and seventy eight thousand, four hundred square feet in a square mile and therefore six trillions, six hundred and seven billion, one hundred and eighty million, eight hundred thousand square feet in Texas. Allowing ten square feet as the surface covered by each dead body we find that Texas as a cemetery would at this rate hold six hundred and sixty billion, seven hundred and eighteen million eight thousand bodies, or nearly three times as many as our exaggerated estimate of the number of persons that have ever lived upon the earth. Persons standing occupies, on an average, about one and two-thirds feet of space. At this rate, the population of the earth at present could stand on an area of eighty-eight square miles, an area of less than that of the city of London or Philadelphia. And the islands of Ireland (a area of thirty three square miles) would furnish standing room for more than twice the number who have ever lived on earth even at our exaggerated estimate. There is not much difficulty, my friends, in settling the question as room for the resurrected dead; and when we call to mind the prophecy of Isaiah (35:1-6) that the earth shall yield her increase; that the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; and that in the wilderness shall waters break out and streams flow in the deserts, we see that God indicates that he has forseen all the necessities of his plan, and will make ample provisions for the needs of all the resurrected dead in what will seem a very natural way. I beg to remind you that all these modern conveniences, labor saving devices, plans for irrigating the deserts, are all A B C Principles to be perfected during the day of restitution of man. This day of restitution or Judgment Day, which is a thousand years long, is the time God has set to restore all the willing and obedient, of the human race to that perfection from which Father Adam fell more than six thousand years ago. God has not judged the world, as a whole and individually, for life ever-lasting or death ever-lasting until his set time—the --- Listen, Dear People of the public, I am reliably informed that some of the would-be-wise ministers have told their congregations that my writings on Bible subjects do not amount to anything but that they will answer them every Sunday from their pulpits. Now listen again, if these writings do not amount to anything, why take the time to answer them? And again, why do they not accept my challenge and call me on the carpet before the public and show me up through the Scriptures? Their attempt to answer my writings by attacking them from their own private pulpits behind my back is just like a man who would lay in the bushes and assassinate an opponent if persecution he could keep from being caught. Dear people, you should inform these ministers that there must be something wrong with their teachings as a reason they will not defend themselves before my face and the public. Remember the place, 618 East Archer street, Masonic Hall, 3:00 P.M. sharp every first and third Sunday of each month during the summer, fall and winter. Watch this space weekly for subject of the lecture and any possible change in date. Subject for Sunday, September 5, will be entitled "THE EARTH ABIDETH FOREVER." Friends come and hear for yourselves the only consoling message during these times of great perplexity. It costs you nothing but your time. Seats are free and no collection. RICHARD J. HILL. When we look stern facts in the face and note the billions of humanity from creation to the present time that have existed upon the earth but a short time then passed into death breaking up the dearest family ties and leaving behind the most precious treasures of the earth, we wonder if it is all of life to live or all of death to die; and were it not for God's promise of a resurrection from the dead and a better life beyond this evil condition, this world's drama would be darker than ever. From Bible chronology man has been upon the earth a little more than six thousand years and of course the Bible statement is true. Should any one be inclined to question the Bible's reliability on the point of chronology the way is open to questioning its claim of being the inspired word of God; and any one who doubts the Bible being the inspired word of God (I do not mean errors that have crept into the Bible) is not in a condition of heart to be taught its deep truths nor to receive the comforts of the blessed promises therein for man. The resurrection of the dead is the most prominent feature of God's plan of Salvation. Some one has foolsibly said there would not be room enough on this earth for all the people who have lived upon it and died since the creation to the present time if they were resurrected. But such statement is absolutely without foundation for truth. 15 without foundation for truth According to Bible chronology six thousand years would reach from the creation of Adam down to 1872 A. D. Now for the purpose of making a mathematical calculation of the human race and for the purpose of avoiding fractions we will compute the number of all possible persons that have ever lived upon the earth from creation down to 1872 A. D., a period of six thousand years. Get your paper and pencil and let us assume that it is six thousand years since the creation of man and that there were as many persons created at the beginning as there is now (taking our stand at the year 1872) the estimated population of the earth at that time was fourteen hundred million or one billion, four hundred million. (As a matter of fact the human race began with only one pair). And further, let us suppose that there never were fewer than one billion four hundred million at any time during this six thousand years (but as a matter of fact the Flood, at one time, reduced the population of the earth to only eight persons). Again let us be liberal and estimate three generations to a century or thirty-three yars to a generation. (Though according to Gensis 5, there were but eleven generations RICHARD J. HILL Day of Judgment, or restitution on the Millenium Day. The term Judgment Day, Millenium Day or day of restitution means one and the same thing. It is only when the different ways in which God will manifest himself to the world of mankind during that period is considered that the different names for that period are mentioned. For instance, when we think and read of the awarding of blessing for obedience and the administering of stripes for disobedience we term that period Judgment Day; when we think and read of man (the willing and obedient) being restored to all that was lost in Father Adam we call that period the time of restitution; and when we think and read of the length of time required to do this work we term it the Millenium, or a period of a thousand years. As we stated in a previous issue, the Lord has not been dealing with any one, during this Gospel Age, but the body members of Christ, the little flock and the great company. In other words the work to be done during this Gospel Age has been and is the selecting of the officers to rule and govern the world in righteousness during the Judgment Day. For the purpose of giving you some idea of the character of Jehovah God we will give Him credit for having at least, as much sympathy, love and justice as the best of fallen humanity. My friend put this question square to yourself and get some idea of Jehovah's character. Take a case like this where a poor man or woman is the off-spring of parents very low in the scales of morals and further that this poor man or woman was raised under very immoral conditions. You can readily see and understand that the natural bent of such individual would be downward. Now, were it within your power to grant to this individual ever lasting life or death eternal, could you out of your heart of hearts feel justified in passing the most severe sentence upon this poor individual who is a victim of circumstances over which she or he has no control? I say could you consistently decree such sentence without first uplifting such and individual physiell. mentaly and morally? I believe the very first thing you would do be to strike down the evil influences that tend to drag the individual downward. I believe that you would see to it that this poor person was properly equipped physically, mentally and morally to make a good and successful fight for ever-lasting life. I feel sure that you would see to it that such individual did not gain life ever-lasting it would be because she or he willfully, intelligently and in opposition to all needed help decide to go the way of death ever-lasting. I further believe, dear friends, if it was within your power you would be glad to give every creature on earth ever-lasting life, provided they lived clean and Godly lives. I am sure you would rejoice to bring all the broken families of the earth together in one grand and happy band. I believe this the true sentiment of the Godly inclined individual. And such is just what God purposes to do. Unfortunately the majority of preachers have, ignorantly, been the most active agents of the adversary in that they have taught the people that God's plan is to save all who will be saved during this Gospel Age and the rest of humanity is to be consigned to an eternity of torture by fire proof devils. They have been teaching the people that the Lord has said in so many words "You poor depraved sinners, notwithstanding the fact that you have inherited tendencies to sin and that you were born and reared under a moral condition over which you had no control and notwithstanding the fact that the devil and his host of demons have you chained down in superstition, ignorance and sin, you had better get sense enough to join some church, pay up your dues and be preached into Heaven when you die or do otherwise and go to Hell to burn forever." Dear friends, the character of Jehovah God is so far superior to that of fallen humanity that we cannot even conceive of the length, breadth, height and depth of God's justice, power, love and wisdom toward his human creatures. He has not and will not permit the billions of humanity (not including the little flock) to come to trial for life or death ever-lasting until the arrangements are complete for giving them the most favorable trial. The resurrection of the dead will take place on the Judgment Day. "God hath appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness." (Act. 17: 31. The judges of the world will be Christ and the faithful over-comers of this Gospel Age. "The Father judgeth no man but hath committed all judgments unto the Son." (John 5: 22). The length of the Judgment Day will be a thousand years. "The Day of Judgment and predition of ungodly men"—with the Lord is a thousand years. Peter 3: 7-8. There is sure to be resurrection of the dead. "If there be no resurrection of the dead, then if Christ is not risen your faith is vain, ye are still in your sins." (1st Cor. 15: 13-17); "As all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive." (1st Cor. 15: 22). There are to be two resurrections a first and a second. The electors, that is, the little flock or the fait' ful ones of the Gospel Age, are to have part in the first resurrection in order to be with the Lord and help judge the world in righteousness during the Judgment Day. There is a blessed portion. "Blessed and Holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection." (Rev. 20: 6). The Church, the little flock, shall be partakers of the Divine Nature. (2nd Peter 1: 4). After the first resurrection is completed and the judges, Christ and his bride, take their seats, then, at their command the door to the prison house of Death must fly wide open and let the billions of Satan's captives come forth to judgment. "The hour is coming in to the which all that are in their graves shall hear his voice and shall come forth unto a resurrection of life and judgment." (John 5: 28-29). "They that hear (obey) in that day shall live." (Jno. 5: 25). We have much to be thankful for in these closing days of the Gospel Age when the light of God's plan of salvation is shining as never before. We are glad that the Judgment Day is a time for blessing and uplifting all the willing and obedient and not a time when the literal heavens and the literal earth shall be literally burned up. During that day "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." (Act 2: 19-21); "The earth shall yield her increase." (Psa. 67: 6); "The inhabitants of the earth shall not say I am sick." (Isa 33: 6); "The eyes of the blind shall be open and deaf ears unstopped." (Isa. 35: 5). In conclusion, I beg to remind all unfaithful servants and those who know not the truth and who spend most of their time advancing their own selfish plans, that the millions you have preached into error and into having heaven and into a burning Hell will soon condemn you in the resurrection day when they return and have no story to tell of being in a heaven of bliss or a hell of fire stalking with fire proof devils. There is positively no scriptural grounds for the false idea, that during this Gospel Age all good people, at death go to a Heaven of bliss and the bad ones to a Hell of fire to burn forever. As a matter of scriptural fact both the just and unjust go to the great prison house of death to wait the resurrection at which time the just will be rewarded with ever-lasting life and the unjust given a most favorable trial and a chance to gain ever-lasting life by submitting to the rules of the new covenant that will then be in operation. Let us take Jehovah at his word when he tells us in plain scripture statements what the condition of the dead is. If we take him at his word in the following scriptures to-wit: Gen. 2: 17; Rom. 6: 23; Feel. 9: 5-10; all will be as clear as a noon day concerning the punishment of the human race who are not obedient to his just and righteous laws.

He is a sophomore attending Erasmus Hall High School and excels his white schoolmates in athletics to such a great degree they deem him their idol and made him captain of the 1920 football eleven. Washington is only nineteen. Last year he was awarded a gold medal by the Public School Athletic League while starring on the Erasmus baseball nine. He is a cracker-jack third baseman and the Philadelphia Giants and other big Colored teams have been trying to induce him to play semi-pro ball. In the fall of 1919 every big daily paper in Greater New York selected him on the first All-Scholastic Football Team as star end. But Joe isn't gaining glory thru his athletic prowess alone. He is an excellent orator and receives quite an ovation whenever he arises to speak. Through merit, pluck and gameness, Joe has just won his commission as a cadet and first lieutenant in the Thirteenth Regiment, being the only Colored member of this military organization. That Joe has taken after his brother, Chester A. Washington, goes without saying, for the latter graduated with honors from New Utrecht High School and Columbus University a few years ago. Young Washington is after a scholarship at Columbia University to pursue his dental studies, but it is whispered if he wins an appointment to West Point he will accept and take his chances with the crackers.

Mrs. Gurley said that the selection of Muskogee as the next meeting place for the Grand Lodge threw consternation into the hearts of the people of Boley, who have grown to look upon the U. B. F. Grand Lodge as a Boley institution. Her financial report which showed remarkable growth over last year was well received and approved by the Grand Temple. Mrs. Gurley was re-elected Grand Treasurer of the Grand Temple. ONE OF THE MAIN FEATURES Julius T. Presley Telephone 7874 THE TULSA STAR. Saturday, August 28, 1920 An Able Tulsa Instructor.
