The Colored Pythians have the city. (The Petersburg Daily Progress.) Petersburg, Va., June 21.—Three excursion trains—one from Richmond, another from Norfolk and the third from Roanoke—reached the city today, each bringing a large crowd of colored Pythians and their friends to the city to attend the festivities held in connection with the Grand Lodge now in session at the First Ebenezer Baptist Churhc. The local committees have been unremitting in their efforts to provide proper entertainment for the visitors. Homes have been provided for delegates and a tented city for the uniform rank. This afternoon at four o'clock there was a parade in which W Grand Chancellor, Grand Lodge. the First Regiment, U. R. of Richmond and the Second Regiment of Norfolk and detached Companies from other parts of the state took part. It was one of the finest bodies of colored men ever seen in Petersburg and their soldier-like bearing was highly complimented. Commander General John Mitchell, Jr. of Richmond, was in command, and among his staff officers were Col. Ferguson, Col. Wyatt and Major E. B. Cornish, the latter of this city. There were several bands in the parade, which discoursed martial airs. Business places decorated. A number of the merchants, both white and colored in the vicinity of Center Market have decorated their places of business in honor of the Pythians. The Maceo Guards of Newport News, Capt. John Steward in command, and the Battailon of Pythian Cadets from Richmond, Companies A and B, Major Ammons in command gave fine exhibition drills which were greatly enjoyed by the several thousand spectators. The banquet will be a feature. Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., will be Master of Ceremonies and addresses will be delivered by a number of prominent members of the order. It is estimated that fully 3,000 Pythians and visitors were in the city, and the good order which has prevailed has been cause for remarks. The visitors have conducted themselves in a manuel worthy of the highest commendation. The PROGRESS, is informed by Chief of Police Rogland that not a single complaint of any kind has reached police headquarters and it is the most orderly crowd that he has ever seen in the city.

MUSIC EVERY EVENING AFTERMATH OF MUSICAL FETE. Mammoth Dramatic Performance For Walker Memorial Fund. New Howard Theater the Scene of a Most Brilliant Array of Noted Stage Folk, Educators and Leading Citizens, Who Plan to Erect Monuments to the Late George Walker. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.-Strange as it may sound, yet it is true that one of the most stubborn obstacles that the Negro in music and drama has had to overcome was a strongly intrenched prejudice against Negro professional stage people that dominated the cultured and refined members of his own race. But the Negro artists in music and drama have now at last the "heart and hand" of the better class of their own people. A most striking illustration of this fact was demonstrated recently when the Hackley-Coleridge-Taylor-Dumas-Aldridge-Walker-Cole Dramatic club of this city presented for two nights at the new Howard theater a most remarkable and historic musical and dramatic entertainment which was participated in by some of the most celebrated colored artists. The entertainment, which drew crowded houses both nights, was called "the George Walker memorial," and the proceeds are to be applied to a fund to erect a suitable monument to MILITARY AIDA OVERTON WALKER the late George Walker, "America's greatest straight comedian and most successful pioneer of the Negro profession." On the stage as participants were the leading colored professional artists in music and drama as well as leaders in education, in the professions and in other high walks of life. There was Aida Overton Walker, the foremost colored woman on the American stage today. There was Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, noted lecturer and educator, schooled in the best universities of America and Europe, and J. Rosamond Johnson, celebrated musical composer, partner in the well known Cole and Johnson team. Mrs. A. M. Curtis, famed as the head directress of the exhibit at the Jamestown exposition, wife of Dr. A. M. Curtis, the noted surgeon, who is president of the National Medical association; Mrs. Robert H. Pelham, former director of music in Howard university, the wife of Robert H. Pelham, newspaper man and census officials Tutt and Whitney, clever comedians, who have starred together and won national fame; Clarence Cameron White, famous concert violinist, who has studied the "king of instruments" under masters in this country and abroad; Andrew Tribble, known far and wide as the Negro Julian Ettings; Troy, the sweet tenor; Guy, who gives promise of being a tragedian, and many others. Never before had such a brilliant array of professional amateur and nonprofessional talent been presented to an audience at the nation's capital. And the chief credit goes to young R. G. Doggett, a junior college student in Howard university. He is president of the club, under whose auspices the memorial was got up. It was his mind that conceived the mammoth project. The program was indeed unique and intensely interesting. The progress of the Negro on the stage was emphasized not only in the remarks of the speakers, but by the splendid performances of the professional and amateur artists. The program in detail was as follows: Remarks by the president of the club, R. G. Doggett: introduction of Mrs. Tervell by Mrs. Robert Pelham; "George Walker, the Man," Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Part 2--One act play by R. G. Doggett, Alda O. Walker, Mrs. A. M. Curtis and Mrs. Robert Pelham, "Evolution of Negro Musc;" cast: Hostess, Mrs. A.

With the funds they have already secured and with the funds that will come through the contribution of those interested this club not only proposes to erect a monument to the late comedian, but also to have two paintings of Walker made by a noted colored artist in Paris—one of the paintings to be of Walker in street dress, which will be hung in the new Carnegie library at Howard university; the other to be of Walker in his celebrated pose as "Bonbon Buddy, the Chocolate Drop," which will be presented to the Frogs' club, the famous meeting place of colored professional stage people in New York city. Beginning of the Negro on the Stage. What may be termed the renaissance of the Negro stage began with the phenomenal success of Williams and Walker in the production of "In Dahomey" about eight years ago. Since that remarkable company made decided "hits" playing to the aristocracy of this country and the king and queen and the royalty in general of England the Negro on the American stage has made great progress. "In Dahomey", "Abyssinia" and "Bandana Land" the great plays of the great Williams-Walker company are but milestones that mark the progress of the black artists. Young Negroes of a high degree of intelligence, some of college training, A. E. J. BOSAMOND JOHNSON. have given serious thought and study to the stage, thereby producing first class performers as well as creditable dramatic writers. In music the professional Negro has also brought a large measure of intelligence and industry to his work. The leading professional Negro musicians have studied under celebrated masters, some of them having finished their musical education abroad under the direction of the old world masters.

WHEN the war of independence came on, New York's population had changed from a lot of pipe smoking Dutchmen to comprise many people of refinement. It was then that that society in which Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr shone ten or twenty years later was forming. People had begun to use silver on their tables instead of pewter, and social dinners were quite pretentious. One Nicholas Van Schoonhoven, a wealthy citizen, built in his house in the village of Greenwich (long since a part of the city of New York) a vault in which to store his valuable tableware. It was located in the second story in a hallway running past his own bedroom. Van Schoonhoven was a patriot, and when in the struggle for independence 'the British occupied New York he moved to Westchester county, some fifteen or twenty miles up the Hudson river, within the American lines commanded by young Lieutenant Colonel Aaron Burr. Before the evacuation he returned to the city to be near his real estate, leaving his movable valuables in Westchester county. Edith Van Schoonhoven while in Westchester met a young lieutenant in Burr's regiment, Charles Robertson, and the meeting had resulted in a love match. The separation when she went back to the city was very trying to a pair of lovers aged twenty-two and nineteen respectively. Though but a few miles apart, they were still very far. Robertson stood the separation a month, then, putting on a countryman's clothes and carrying a large basket containing butter, eggs and other farm produce, he set out for New York.

His farm produce passed him, and he walked to the southwestward, crossing diagonally what is now Central park and made toward the Hudson lower down till he came to the village of Greenwich. As he was crossing a field where the Columbus monument now stands one Peter Oldershaw, a rabid Tory, saw and followed him. Unaware that he was watched, Lleutenant Robertson knocked at the door of Nicholas Van Schoonhoven, showed his basket of produce and was admitted. This Oldershaw saw and straightway walked down to Bowling green, where he found General Howe, to whom he reported the fact. The general sent a small troop commanded by a sergeant to capture the young patriot, whom he did not doubt had come into his lines for the purpose of spying. Charles Robertson and Edith Van Schoonhoven were sitting together in the parlor, where they could look out on the broad Hudson, when they saw a dozen recoat troopers dash up and surround the house. For a moment Edith was paralyzed; then, suddenly gathering her faculties, she seized her lover's hand, ran with him upstairs and, opening the vault door, thrust him in, closing the door after him, locking it and putting the key in her pocket. She was too excited to think of his being smothered, but fortunately a small ventilator had been left over the door. When the sergeant entered Edith had recovered her equanimity so far as to meet him with a well feigned look of surprise on her face and invited him to search the house. Not finding any one, he left the premises guarded by his men and rode to General Howe. Howe, believing that the lieutenant was there, sent Captain Sawyer with his company to relieve the sergeant and to take up his quarters in the house, keeping it surrounded. Sawyer, who was a young London swell, at once began to make love to Edith. She found it somewhat difficult to feed her lover, since she had no way to do so except through the ventilator, and, having to stand on a chair for the purpose, she dared not transmit --- TWIN CITY STAR Name of Old Glory BANNER Y FOR BA New England Com Forward by Leap PLANS TO ENLAR shake of the volce, and it sald; white and the living blood red ir heaven of stare overhead— lined of them all, skyward east, steeple, or flap at the mast, and where the long grasses nod— as the glory of God. by the name of Old Glory.

Then, going down to Captain Sawyer's room, she knocked at his door, calling to him that she had been frightened by a huge black cat that had got into the house and asking him to drive it out. "Don't trouble yourself to put on your clothes," she said, "use this." And, opening the door a few inches, she dropped a double gown of her father's into the room. Sawyer arose, put on his boots and the double gown, seized the only weapon handy, his sword, and went out into the hall. There he found Edith, apparently very much frightened. She had lighted a candle and conducted him along the hall to the vault, whose door stood ajar. "There—the horrid thing went in there!" she almost shrieked. Sawyer boldly entered the vault. In a second he heard a click behind him. He was a prisoner. Running to the room where she had left her lover, Edith released him and lighted him to Sawyer's apartment, where the Yankee put on the Britisher's uniform, went downstairs and after a parting kiss strode out and past the guard. Sawyer, after taking in the situation, set up a terrific howl, hoping to make himself heard by the guard without, but he might as well have tried to make himself heard from the bowels of the earth. He was not used to rising early, so he was not missed in the morning by his men. Edith kept him confined as long as she dared, then let him out, and the saucy girl had the effrontery to ask if he had killed the cat. Considering the ridiculous light the episode would place him in, Captain Sawyer never reported it. When the evacuation of the city took place Robertson entered it and married the girl who had saved him from the fate of a spy. --- BANNER YEAR FOR BAPTISTS. New England Convention Moves Forward by Leaps and Bounds. PLANS TO ENLARGE TERRITORY Providence Meeting of Great Missionary and Educational Organization Crowded With Delegates — Forward Movement For Big Financial Campaign Planned. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Providence, R. L.—The New England Baptist missionary convention, which closed its thirty-seventh annual meeting in the Congdon Street Baptist church, this city, with a splendid reception to the delegates on Monday evening, June 19, was one of the most successful events in its long and useful career. Every session of the convention during the six days was largely attended, and there were delegates from as far north as Canada. The jurisdiction of the organization extends from Washington northward throughout the New England states. Rev. William A. Creditt, LL. D., of Philadelphia, president of the convention, presided. The address of welcome on behalf of the Congdon street church was delivered with much force and earnestness by Deacon E. S. Peters. Mayor Henry Fletcher delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city in a characteristic vein which made the audience bristle with enthusiasm. The mayor's welcome was responded to by the Rev. Samuel J. Comfort, D. D. of Boston. After the annual sermon, which was preached by the Rev. Granville Hunt of Mount Vernon, N. Y., President Creditt delivered his annual address, which for logic, forethought, optimism and encouragement to the delegates assembled may be truthfully and rightfully designated as a code of ethics [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] REV. DR. W. A. HARBOD. worthy of the man whom the convention has elected for the third time as its leader and presiding officer. The officers elected for the ensuing year were installed by the Rev. William M. Moss, D. D., pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ, Brooklyn. They are W. A. Creditt, LL D., of Philadelphia, president; A. O. Powell, D. D., New York, vice president; W. A. Harrod, D. D., Hartford, Conn., corresponding secretary; A. Mark Harris, D. D., Jersey City, N. J., recording secretary, and Robert D. Wynn, D. N., Newark, N. J., treasurer. The convention was favored by the presence of two very distinguished visitors from abroad, who made brief but highly encouraging addresses. They were the Rev. William E. Hurst, who holds a pastoral charge in Leicester, England, and the Rev. William J. Harris of Hitchn, England, pastor of the old historic church founded by John Bunyan. Both are Baptists. They are delegates to the world's Baptist alliance, which concluded a week's meetings in Philadelphia on Sunday, June 25. Mrs. Joanna P. Moore was also a visitor to the convention. the memorial services for deceased pastors and members who have died during the year were presiden over by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, vice president of the convention. Many touching tributes of respect were given by pastors and laymen. Prompted by the many timely suggestions contained in the president's annual address, the convention ordered the appointment of a committee of fifteen whose duty it is to plan for enlarging the scope and usefulness of the convention so as to more fully develop that part of its territory which in the past has received but scant attention. The convention also proposes to further extend its work by raising the sum of $6,000 for home and foreign missions, education and other denominational work. This sum is to be systematically arranged and raised by apportionment among the various churches by states and territories according to the numerical strength of church membership. The ranks of the older men who have given many years of thought and labor for the advancement of the convention are rapidly thinning out, and their places are being ably filled by young men who have learned much from the "fathers" of the convention, whose wise counsel they have been sensible enough to heed. Among those who were at the inception of the work thirty-seven years ago only two are living. They are the Revs. B. T. Moore of Wilmington, Del., and Ebenezer Byrd of Newark, N. J. Others who have served in official capacities for upward of a quarter of a century are the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Wynn of Newark, N. J., who has been the honored and trusted treasurer of the convention for twenty-two years. Dr. Wynn has been eminently successful as a pastor. He was pastor of the Abysinian Baptist church in New York for sixteen years. In his present charge, Newark, N. J., he has had unbounded success. He is still hale and hearty, a good gospel preacher and a man of large influence in the community in which he resides. Then there is the Rev. Dr. L. J. Brown, pastor of the Berean Baptist church in Brooklyn for twenty years. Rev. W. N. Morton, H. N. Jeter and a few others have pastored in one place for a score of years. Many of the young pastors have made brilliant records within the past MRS. LUCY HENSEN. decade. Rev. John G. Love, pastor of the Union Baptist church in Montclair, N. J., celebrated the twelfth anniversary of his pastorate recently with the following record of achievements: Membership increased from 162 to 552; collected from April, 1899, to April, 1911, $8,324.37; paid the remaining debt on the property and made many improvements along other lines. He is an eloquent preacher, splendid financier, good leader and great organizer for racial uplift. The Sunday school department held its convention previous to the sessions of the general body and made a most encouraging showing in numbers, finance, education and mission work. It donated $50 to Virginia Union university, $25 to Virginia seminary and college, $25 to the National Training School For Women and Girls, $25 to the Downingtown Industrial school and smaller sums for other purposes. The officers of the convention and members of the board of managers are: N. Barnett Dodson, Brooklyn, president; G. W. Long, Providence, R. L. vice president; Miss R. G. Randolph, New York, recording secretary; Miss Nettie A. Smith, Providence, R. L., corresponding secretary, and Rev. A. C. Powell, New York, treasurer. The literary program of the various sessions was replete with helpful suggestions for the future betterment of the work. The address by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss, subject "The Sunday School at Its Best;" the music furnished by the Congdon street school and a highly pleasing soprano solo by Mrs. Lucy Hensen, wife of Mr. Matt Hensen of north pole fame, were among the leading features of the session. The woman's auxiliary convention elected and installed the following officers: President, Mrs. E. Holland. A. MARK HARRIS, D. D. Providence; vice president, Mrs. A. W. Seay, Brooklyn; recording secretary, Miss E. J. Holt, New Jersey; corresponding secretary, Mrs. M. J. Glassee, Providence; treasurer, Mrs. S. A. Harris, Brooklyn. Mrs. Enos represented Massachusetts on the board of managers. The auxiliary voted $195 toward the general work of the convention. Rev. W. A. Harrod, corresponding secretary of the New England Baptist missionary convention, is one of the best informed officials of the organisation as to its records, needs and future possibilities. His services are highly appreciated. He is a successful pastor, fine scholar and a Baptist of the old school. Rev. A. Mark Harris records the doings of the convention with care and accuracy. Odd Fellows' Jubilee Exercises. The series of Odd Fellow jubilee exercises, under the auspices of the Hall association, which opened in the temple on Wylie avenue, Pittsburgh, on Monday evening, June 26, to run through to Friday evening, promises to be very profitable. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson I.—Third Quarter, For July 2, 1911. Text of the Lesson, Isa. xxxvll, 21-38. Memory Verse, 33-35—Golden Text, Ps. xlvi, 1—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The story of Hezekiah is somewhat fully recorded not only in II Kings and II Chronicles, but also in the prophecy of Isaiah. A few weeks ago we were considering how he began his reign by repairing and cleansing the temple and by keeping the Passover for all Israel, summoning the twelve tribes thereto. He wrought that which was good and right and truth before the Lord his God, and he sought God with all his heart and prospered (II Chron. xxxi, 20, 21). Such devotion to the living and true God was more than the devil could stand, for all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (II Tim. tii, 12), so he stirred up the king of Assyria to fight against Jerusalem and by words and letters to mock and blaspheme the God of Israel and His people. To his blasphemy and revilings the people answered not a word, but held their peace, as the king had taught them (II Kings kvii, 36). Thus did David, according to Ps. xxxvill, 13, and thus did the Lord Jesus both before the high priest and Pilate (Matt. xxvi, 62, 63; xxvll, 14). "When He was reviled He reviled not again; when He suffered He threatened not" (I Pet. ii, 23). Hezekiah did with the wicked letter just what we all ought to do with such things—spread them before the Lord and unburden our hearts to Him about all such. I have personally proved this a way of peace more than once. If you do not receive wicked letters you will probably hear of wicked words that have been spoken against you. Just tell all to the Lord Jesus and leave all with Him. Hezekiah's prayer at this time is a most refreshing study (II Kings xix, 14-19; Isa. xxxvil, 15-20). Note that his reason for asking deliverance was that all the earth might know the Lord. The prophet Isaiah also joined him in prayer in this his time of difficulty (II Chron. xxxii, 20). Hezekiah was thus able to speak to the hearts of the people because he was himself comforted by his trust in the Lord. "Be strong and courageous; be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria. There be more with us than with them. With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles" (II Chron. xxxii, 7, 6). In the portion assigned us today we have the Lord's answer to Hezekiah through the prophet Isaiah. It becomes us to be sure that God answers prayer and, having committed our affairs to Him, leave all with Him in quietness even though we may not have as speedy an answer as the king had. There is no resting place like the words of the Lord God of Israel. The Virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn (verse 22). When kings and rulers take counsel together against the Lord He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have in derision (Ps. 11, 1-5). When the Lord's people are touched in any way it is the Lord Himself who is touched. When the king of Assyria reproached and blasphemed the king of Judah he was really blaspheming the Lord, the Holy One of Israel (verses 23, 24). So it has been and shall be again and again until the last great blasphemer shall be cast alive into the lake of fire (Dan. xl. 88; Rev. xl. 48; xl. 19). It is God Himself that the devil hates and would dethrone if he could and therefore shows his hatred toward the people of God, but hear the Lord as He says to him, "I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me" (verse 28). Then note what follows as to His assurance of deliverance and mark well the words, "The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this" (verse 32). Compare Isa. ix. 7, and be assured that the zeal of the Lord of hosts will not rest till the king shall sit on David's throne and reign over the house of Jacob (Luke 1, 31-33). For His own sake and for his servant David's sake He will do it (verse 35). See how easily the Lord can overthrow His enemies and deliver His people. He has but to speak and it is done. The angel of the Lord went forth that night, and by His power 185,000 of the Assyrian army died. Thus easily did He overthrow Pharaoh and his hosts in the Red sea. In Israel's last extremity, when the armies of antichrist shall be gathered against Jerusalem, He shall come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory and shall consume with the spirit of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming that wicked one and his armies (II Thess. 1, 8-10; Isa. xi, 4; Rev. xix, 19, 20). Remember how when Judas and his band came to arrest Him in the days of His humiliation and weakness He simply said, "I am," and they went backward and fell to the ground. Remember also that "by the word of the Lord were the heavens made and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth" (Ps. xxxiii, 6) and ask what you know of the power of His word in your own life—the power and wisdom of God. May He grant us according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man (Eph. iii, 16). | oof ff | | | | / | | | | { Vetective Fas THE TWIN CITY STAR No, 46 Saturday, July 1911 Entered in the Post oisice at Min- neapolis, June 23, as second class mat- ter. ee ‘Subscription by Mail, Postpaid.

FRATERNAL COHESIVENESS. ‘A real fraternal feeling is rapidly growing among the two Masonic bodies in St. Paul, and it cannot be made to strong. On the level it's the square thing to do and plumb foolish to’do otherwise. Since the election of Mr. Francis as Worshipful Master of Pioneer Lodge and Mr. Melchor of Perfect Ashler Lodge the Lodges are coming closer together. ‘Negroes must “GET TOGETHER” and stick and the Masons are no ex- ception to the rule.

The Star and the community wants to see each Lodge hold the other on the five points of fellowship. CONDUCTOR BROWN'’S QUARTO- CENTENIAL. 25 Years of Service With The Pull- man Company. man Company. Mr. Geo. Lee Brown has finished 25 years in the Pullman Co's employ. He is now in the St. Paul District. Many of our prominent Negroes of today will remember Mr. Brown as a man, who believed in their advance- ment, and knew him as a friend of the race. He is a typical New Eng- lander, and a man of much literary ability. Having spent many winters in Florida, he has noticed the rapid progress made by our people. Mr. Brown has a host of friends among the railroad officials and employees, is an ardent admirer of Dr. Wash- ington and his work, and a cultured American gentleman.

The institution ts lo- cated in Langston, Okla., and has un- der the efficient management of Pres- ident Inman B. Page for the past fourteen years become widely known. He is a graduate of Brown university and before going to Oklaboma four teen years ago was president of the university for colored people in Jet- ferson City, Mo. Professor Page knows both the value vf a classical as well as an indus trlal education and 1s thus well qualt- fied to give his students the best train- ing tor which their mental qualifica- tons call for. Because of the satis- factory work of the school it received a gold medal from the Jamestown (Va.) exposition a tew years ago. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY CELEBRATION. Publlo Exercises Held In Many See- tlons For Great Race Benefactor, Public meetings for the celebration of the centenary of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe have been held in many sec- tons of the country thus far this month by Afro-Americans who appre- ciate the work which Mrs. Stowe did io creating public sentiment against alavery. Such meetings are eminent- ly befitting, for all men who love free- dom and personal liberty should revere those who with pen, money, sword ‘and personal Influence helped to break down and destroy the unjust traffic in human flesh which lasted for centuries in America. Perhaps the most notable meeting of the many was the one beld in Faneuil ball, arranged for and carried out suc- cessfully by Afro-American women in Boston. Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, president of the Afro-American Wo- wen’s Anti-lynching society, and her eoworkers were prime movers of the telebration in which many distinguish- 4 persons took part, among whom were the Hon. Joseph 0. Manning of Alabama, Mr, Brank Sanborn, Profes- wor A. B. Hart of Harvard college, Mra Agnes Adams, Miss Gardner and Mr. Brigham. The office of the Boston Guardian at 21 Cornhill street, where Garrison published the Liberator, was the Mecca and headquarters of a con- stant throng of visitors throughout the centenary festivities. Mr. Manning in the exordium of his great speech said: “It makes the hearts of colored people ache to see the federal government going abroad to protect Americans and offering no protection to Americans who need it right at home. No foreign government would do worse to its own or American citizens than the American govern- ment is doing to its own citizens by stealing the vote from them. “In the north today you stand idly by and see the principles for which your fathers gave their lives in the civil war being swept away.” Alumni Assoolation Organized.
