The Annual roll call of Pilgrim Baptist Church was well attended and the meeting one of the most enthusiastic ever held. The Annual report of the Chairman of the Trustee Board was the best ever heard in Pilgrim. We congratulate the Board on the splendid showing made, and hope for greater things and a most prosperous year for 1912. The splendid supper served by Bro. Payne, and the election of a new trustee, Bro. S. E. Hall closed the best meeting ever held since the church existed. Looking forward to the best year we have ever known, we invite all persons to visit and participate in our services. Pilgrim extends a friendly hand to all, and we would be glad to extend the courtesies to all who feel to favor us with their presence.

GRAND CIVIC BANQUET CITY AND STATE OFFICIALS AND DISTINGUISHED COLORED MEN BANQUET. Praise Mayor for Cabinet Selection. Special to the Star. Atlantic City, January 11. Political witticisms characterized the dinner given by the Young Men's Colored Republican League at Fitzgerald's Auditorium in honor of local officials and distinguished members of the Negro race in official life at Baltimore, Washington, and from the South and West. Although some of the remarks by able colored speakers reflected caustically on the recent campaign of muck-raking in this city, on the whole the "roasting" was of the humorous variety and a great deal of sparkling good humor prevailed. Most all of the speakers complimented Mayor Bacharach for his fairness in appointing Isaac H. Nutter, colored member of the bar, as a member of his cabinet, or advisory board. They praised the Mayor for recognizing the right of the Negro race to have representation in the city government and expressed confidence in the ability of Mr. Nutter to represent the fairly and efficiently. One of the striking features of the evening was an address replete with good, sound common sense and political logic by Hon. Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Washington, D. C., and a brilliant member of the Negro race. His speech was greatly enjoyed by everybody. Two hundred well known people attended the banquet in honor of the United States colored officials. The guests of honor, and who spoke at the banquet were James A. Lightfoot, toastmaster; Councilman Harry S. Cummings, of Baltimore, Md.; Hon. Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds of Washington, D. C., and a delegate to the National Republican Convention; W. T. Francis, of St. Paul, Clerk of Supreme Court of G. U. O. of O. F., and Attorney of N. P. Ry; W. L. Houston, a prominent lawyer, of Washington; J. S. Neel, a National Republican delegate from West Virginia; Hon. W. R. Morris of Minneapolis, leading lawyer and Judge of Supreme Court of G. U. O. of O. F.; Mayor Bacharach; Senator Walter E. Edge; Joseph W. Salus, Warren Somers, and Isaac H. Nutter, well known lawyer. Other prominent guests were W. H. Lewis. Assistant United States Attorney General, of Washington; W. Calvin Chase, a member of the National Republican Committee, and editor of the "Washington Bee," and W. T. Davis, of Atlantic, and a National Republican delegate. The festivities began at 10 o'clock. The hall was handsomely decorated with cut flowers, palms and flags, and the Elks Quartett and an orchestra furnished music. An excellent menu of twelve courses was served under the direction of John Pratt, the caterer. The committee in charge included W. Shirley Stafford, Chairman, and N. S. Hargrave, secretary. The banquet committee included Aurich Atkinson, chairman; William H. Coleman, Thos Jackson, William Cheatham, C. C. Lewis, John Weston, J. A. Lightfoot and Isaac H. Nutter. ADMITTED TO U. S.

Keenest interest is being taken in the forthcoming entertainment now in preparation under the supervision of Mrs. Nellie McCullough, assisted by Mr. Ralph Watson, and a company of the brightest young local talent. Interest in the entertainment is augmented by the fact that the entire sum realized will be turned over to the trustees of the Attucks Home for Old People and Orphaned Children. This splendid institution, whose work in behalf of our dependent poor has been so successful, has gained the esteem and confidence of our citizens generally. Mrs. McCullough's entertainment is the last and most ambitious effort on the part of the charitably disposed to express in concrete form a sense of the worth of the home and to assist it in the most needed manner. The entertainment will consist of a Minstrel Show and Promenade to be given at the Auditorium on the evening of Jan. 31st. It will be unique and high class in every respect, and an evening of unusual pleasure is promised all who attend.

"My ministry has brought me into intimate contact with the misery so often the portion of the orphaned young and the destitute, old. The Old Folks Home, therefore, is justly deserving and I believe the unselfish effort being made by Mrs. McCullough merits the hearty commendation I give it."—Rev. R. M. Toombs. "Speaking for the young men of our city: the man who so often are caring for the old people left in distant home, let me say that the Attucks Home touches a responsive chord in their hearts. It is only necessary to let them know of a way to help. I feel sure that on the night of Mrs. McCullough's entertainment every man among the railway and hotel employees who can possibly get away will be found at the Auditorium."—Glover Shull. Tickets for the entertainment are now on sale and may be secured from Mrs. McCullough, any member of the company and from any of the Business Places. Tickets are Fifty (8.50) Cents for the entire entertainment McCullough's full Orchestra will furnish the music for the promenade.

There is something essentially French and chic in this gay little cutaway coat, which is part of a Dreocoll suit built for a spring bride. The suit is of tan cloth, with a band of black ottoman silk on the square collar and buttons of black jet with pearl centers. The boots and gloves are champagne color, the boots being in new galter top style, with uppers of tan cloth, having flat white buttons. Wielding the Broom It is not an easy matter to sweep well, at any rate, if one judges by experience, for when a broom is put into the hands of the inexperienced more harm than good generally results from the use of it. Light sweeping and soft brooms are desirable. Many a carpet is prematurely worn out by careless sweeping. In sweeping thick piled carpets always brush the way of the pile. By doing so it may be kept clean for years. But if the broom is used in a different way the dust will enter the carpet and soon destroy it. If the carpet covers the whole floor of the room and it is nalled down, place the chairs and other articles of furniture which can be easily moved in the middle of the room, pin up the curtains and cover the couch with an old sheet. Pieces of damp paper may be sprinkled around the sides of the room, and then sweep with a carpet broom toward one place. Take short strokes, being careful not to raise the broom much. Sweep the corners and edges with a small whisk-broom. Kit of Shoe Necessities In a smart looking case of tan leather are packed these necessities for a smart and correct toilet. All the appliances for taking care of black, tan APPLIANCES FOR SHOE CLEANING. and white boots are included, and there are even little brushes for finding dust in stitching and perforations of the leather. The Test of a Play John Craig, the donor of the Craig prize for plays, which has been given both last year and this year to women students at Radcliffe in preference to the Harvard students who apply, says that the common fault of plays submitted is talkiness. Usually half of the first act is taken up with dialogue that gets nowhere. They Don't Grow Old. There is a law in Germany that when a dog or cat has passed the age of six years it must be turned over to the police to be killed. Not a dozen animals are turned over a year. No matter how old a cat or dog becomes, the owner vows that the age is five years to a day. UPLIFT WORK IN NEW YORK. Mrs. M. C. Lawton Tells How It Is Being Carried On. GROUPS OF CAPABLE WOMEN Organization Which Started Two Years Ago With Six Members Has Steadily Grown In Membership and Usefulness—Army of Honest Toilers For Material Betterment. By Mrn. M. C. LAWTON. Brooklyn.—The colored race, like all others, has race workers and race talkers, but in Greater New York there is a splendid force of women who are not only talking, but doing. They feel that in a measure they are their sisters' keepers; that they themselves may be instrumental in removing many of the proscriptions in evidence against them. They realize first, that in union there is strength; secondly, that the glitter and gleam of society, fine clothes, sumptuous tables and social functions are but fleeting joys and that an entire life thus spent is but a tale that is told. Then further realizes, that the race They further ree cannot rise in sections, but must rise as a whole; that inevitable doom and destruction await them unless they constitute themselves intr moral, mental and intellectual dericks for the uplift of womanhood. The arms of these women form the sides cannot rise in sections, but must rise as a whole; that inevitable doom and destruction await them unless they constitute themselves int moral, mental and intellectual dericks for the uplift of womanhood. The arms of these women form the sides of a racial ladder, while their hands clasped in friendship and love constitute the rounds. For the first time in the history of Brooklyn what is called the "colored section" can boast of a well organized neighborhood club, a club composed of honest, hardworking women, women whose hearts are as true as steel and whose sense of honor and integrity far transcends that of some women who live in a higher atmosphere and who would scorn being classified among the mediocre women. This organization, which had its origin with about six women two years ago, now numbers between fifty and seventy-five substantial members. Not only are they interested in everything that pertains to their own improvement and development, but are eager to become factors in the uplift of those less fortunate in life. Besides contributing to the maintenance of the Settlement House in this city, they have cheerfully assumed their quota of financial responsibility for the support of Harriett Tubman. They are learning that well kept homes, and neat and tidy personal appearance, together with refined, cultured deportment, are an index to worth and character. They have learned that there is a vast difference between poverty and immorality; that the one may exist absolutely without disgrace and dishonor, while the other cannot. Mrs. E. L. Young has been working not only constantly, but effectively, for the past three years among delinquent girls. In Manhattan Mrs. Frances R. Keyser, superintendent of the White Rose Home For Working Girls; Mrs. Emma S. Ransom, president of the W. Y. C. A.; Mrs. George Haynes, Mrs. J. Wesley Johnson of St. Cyprian's P. E. church, Mrs. P.

Elizabeth Frazier, Miss Grace Campbell, Mrs. M. J. Stuart, Mrs. G. M. De Baptist-Faulkner and Miss Edith Leonard have done yeoman service for the betterment of conditions among women. In Brooklyn Mrs. Addie W. Hunton Dr. V. Morton Jones, Mrs. Alice Wiley- Seay, Mrs. Albert S. Reed, Mrs. N. B. Dodson and others have given unstint- ingly of their time, energy and ability for the uplift of the race generally and women particularly. Their latest move is an organization known as the Conference of Workers Among Girls. This club meets the fourth Tuesday in each month. Mrs. M. C. Lawton is chairman of the Conference of Workers Among Girls and president of the Lincoln Neighborhood club. Savannah In Need of Leadership. Once again the call comes from Georgia via Savannah for leadership among the Afro-Americans in that particular city. It is said that at least two well known men of the race, in Savannah are eligible, either of whom would be acceptable to the colored citizens, but they are either too bashful or not interested in the race enough to undertake the task. Now, who said the race had too many leaders? Hampton Institute Helps Farmers.

TWIN CITY STAR SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—First Quarter, For Jan. 21, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Luke ii, 8-20 Memory Veres. 10, 11—Golden Text, Luke ii, 11—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearsa. Those days of verse 1 are spoken of in Gal. iv. 4, as "the fullness of time," the time appointed before the world was, for the great deliverer to come, for "known unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world" (Acts xv. 18). He declareth the end from the beginning and doeth according to His will both in heaven and on earth, turning the king's heart whithersoever He will (lsa. xlvi, 10; Dan. iv. 35; Ps. cxxxv, 6; Prov. xxl. 1). So it came to pass that the world ruler's decree was used by the Lord of all the earth to fulfill His purpose and to cause the Prince of the kings of the earth, the King of kings and the Lord of lords to be born at the long before appointed time and place. But so out of harmony with God is this world which He made and the people who inhabit it that there was no room for the Creator in the world which He had made and no welcome for Him. "There was no room for them in the inn" (verse 7). Does the thought of it lead you to say, "Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus—there is room in my heart for Thee?" If so then you may rejoice in the comfort of John 1, 12; Rev. iii. 20. The story of the shepherds takes us back to Abel and to Moses and David and Amos, and the darkness makes us think of the darkness that now is and will be till He shall come again in His glory (Isa. lx, 1-3). The night is far spent, the day is at hand, and the time for our new bodies and the redemption of Israel is ever drawing nearer (Rom. xil. 11, 12; Luke xxi. 28). The shepherds were doing just as they had always done, watching over their flocks, when the angel of the Lord came suddenly upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them (verse 9). Moses and David and Amos were keeping their flocks, Elisha was plowing, Peter and John and others at their nets, Matthew at the receipt of custom, when the special call came to them. It is required of some that they leave their former calling and of others that they continue where they were and therein abide with God (I Cor. vil. 23, 24). Note the visits of the Lord to such lowly people as Hagar, Manoah and his wife, Gideon and others and in Ina. ivl. 15, His two dwelling places. To Zacharias and Mary and the shepherds there was given the heavenly "Fear not" (verse 10; 13, 30). It was also the angel's message on the resurrection morning (Matt. xxviii. 5). How can we explain our slowness to tell all people the good tidings of great joy? Is it because the tidings have never brought us the joy unspeakable of I Pet. 1, 8? The lepers of 11 Kings vil. 8, 9, put us to shame. What can we say to Christ? Suddenly a multitude of the heavenly host is heard by the shepherds saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men" (verse 14) Listen to the testimony of more than a hundred millions of angels in Rev. v, 11, 12, and then if you know that you are redeemed join more heartily in the song of Rev. v, 9, 10. The Lord Jesus in all His life on earth never搜 His own glory now His own will, and it must have been with joy that He said to His Father in His great prayer, "I have glorified Thee on the earth" (John vi, 38; vill, 50; xvil, 4). Our motto should be "that God in all things may be glorified" (1 Pet. iv, 11; 1 Cor. x, 31). When the Lord Jesus shall have become the peace of Israel and shall have spoken peace to the nations through Israel then quickly shall the whole earth be filled with the glory of the Lord (Mic. v, 5; Zech. ix, 10; Num. xiv, 21). His people shall be willing in the day of His power (Ps. cx, 3). The angels, having executed their commission, went away into heaven; simply went home. How easy it sounds, how wonderful and glorious it is, that we have ever with us these ministering ones who behold the face of our Father in heaven (Heb. i, 14; Matt. xvill, 10). The shepherds did not seem to question for one moment the good news they had heard, and they considered the angels as the Lord's messengers, for they said, "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us" (verse 15). They did not delay, but made haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger, as they had been told (verses 12, 16). It was not any kind of a figurative manger, but literally a place from which cattle ate their food. As a rule, the statements of Scripture are plain literal statements, and unless the language is plainly figurative, as when our Lord said, "I am the vine," "I am the door," "The trees of the field shall clap their hands," we must take it to mean just what it says. Accepting this babe as the Saviour, Christ the Lord, they made known what was told them concerning this child (verses 11, 17). With the artlessness of simple minded people they just believed what they had heard and told what they had seen. making us think of Peter and John, who said long after concerning the same person, "We cannot but speak the things we have seen." GREETINGS TO ALL KNIGHTS TEMPLARS; Dear Brothers Sir Knights as your Grand Marshal for the International Conference of Knights Templars which will convene in the city of Washington in 1912, I send you greetings and ask that you begin preparing to make the pilgrimage to that city. Get ready for the grand parade to be held on that occasion. Let us show the world just what we can do in this matter. It will require the united efforts of all who are interested in the success of Templarism to make this a day long to be remembered among our number.

I shall be pleased to hear from any Sir Knight and to furnish any information he may desire. Yours fraternally, Howard W. Pinn 91 W. Rutland Square, Boston, Mass. A. B. Dr. Milton W.

Lo, soul, seest thou not God's purpose? The earth to be spanned, connected by network, The people to become brothers and sisters, The races neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage, The oceans to be crossed, the distant brought near, UNLIMITED LAWLESSNESS UNLIMITED LAWLESSNESS. The sentiment of the American public knows no bounds. They chose any time or place to perform any ceremonies which may appeal to their fads or fancies. — The lynching of Negroes by white men is prevalent, yet the lynching of white men by white men has proven that this lawlessness is not born of prejudice alone, but out of a custom practiced by these public executioners, who disregard the written laws of the land and hold justice as a mockery. OPPORTUNITY A Negro can com3 to Minnesota, make a comfortable living, purchase a home, and sit under his own vine and fig tree, protected by its laws and enjoy the fruits of his labors—a life worth living. THE NEWSPAPER AND ITS EDITOR. Editing a newspaper in some respects is a good deal like preaching. The gospel truth must be presented in the form of generalities or some fellow will get hit and howl, says a recent writer. Few persons like truth, even in homeopathic doses, if it hits them. But while preachers and editors are criticised for what they do say, no one thinks of giving them credit for what they do not say. Yet what they keep to themselves constitutes the major portion of what they know about people. Very many people harbor the belief that newspapers are eager to publish derogatory things. It's a mistake. There isn't a newspaper that could not spring a sensation in the community at any time by merely telling what it knows. There is not a newspaper that does not keep under the lock of secrecy scores of derogatory things which never meet the public eye or reach the public ear. Deciding what not to print is the most troublesome part of newspaper work. How many good stories are suppressed for innocent relatives and for the public good, nobody outside of a newspaper office has any idea of it. In some instances he who files into a passion because a newspaper prints something about him which he considers uncomplimentary has every reason to feel profoundly grateful to the newspaper for publishing so little of what it knows of him. And oft times the loudest bluffer is the most vulnerable to attack. A big noise is often a device employed to cover trepidation. Newspapers put up with more bluffing than any other agency would endure. It is not because they lack courage; it is because they are unwilling to use their power to destroy or ruin unless the interests of society imperatively demand it. It might be well for some people to reflect upon these truths and in silent gratitude accept mild admonition, lest worst befall them.—Minneapolis Argus. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY.

The Honest merchant is a Successful merchant; the Successful merchant Knows the Advantage of Advertising what he has for sale. Stores and business places advertising in THE TWIN CITY STAR are the best places at which to spend your money and get your money's worth. We therefore recommend to the trading public those business places carrying an Ad. in THE TWIN CITY STAR. Bryan says "he will not be a candidate"—also says who shall be a candidate?" Rep. N. E. Kendall of Iowa, a Republican smashed a white ruffian who assaulted a Negro washerwoman an the streets of Washington, D.C. His act was worthy of special mention, and we are glad to commend him for his bravery, and the Negroes en-masse wil always point with pride to him as a true American gentleman, "one of the remaining few." More "Kendall's" less rowdy ruffians. House Represents the Wilson Ballet Law. The Wilson ballot law, which has been in vogue in eleven counties of Maryland, has been repealed by the house of delegates at Annapolis and a substitute enacted in its stead. Each measure, however, was born to prevent colored men from exercising their right to vote. It is said that the Republicans in the house bitterly opposed the substitute on the ground that it was just as iniquitous as the Wilson law. NEGRO VAGRANTS. The city of Minneapolis is fast becoming a shelter for vagrants. There are men who are at times unable to get employment, but who are willing to earn an honest living. There are many others, who are generally known as idlers. They are no good to our race, no support to the places that tolerate them, or to themselves. A round up of all vagrants will better our condition. The Vag Law must be enforced. Written My Larger Education. Booker T. Washington, the well-known leader of the movement to make the Negro a useful citizen, has just written "My Larger Education," which is a collection of his experiences as a public man and as an educator. It is practically a continuation of his "Up From Slavery" and carries on the story. In this volume Mr. Washington notes the mistakes that have been made and points to the path of progress in the further education of the black race. As the leading authority on problems growing out of the occupation of American soil by the Negro, all that he says is of interest. Numerous illustrations give the book an added value. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. A newspaper isn't simply a bare chronicler of events. It is a personality. It comes into your house almost as a member of your family. What sort of a person do you like to have visit you? He ought to be honest, courageous, no hypocrite, and a gentleman, with a real interest in you, ready to lend a hand if you need help. Cheerfulness and good humor are excellent qualities, and a wide range of interests. What do you find in The Star? It has opinions, of course, and it speaks them out freely. They are its own and they are not influenced by outside interests. The square deal is its platform. In handling news it observes the decencies and amenities of life. It never wantonly brings shame or sorrow to any home. Its advertisements are clean. If the Twin City Star does not bring you something of interest in any particular issue, it has failed by so much that week. It takes of its hat and apologizes for having bored you as a visitor. But it trusts this doesn't often happen. Not often, does it? Begin New Year with a subscription to a Negro paper. If you do not subscribe to a local paper, send for your home paper. But pay for it. Race papers are a necessity, and must be supported by individuals. Every Negro should in some way contribute something towards the advancement of the Negro Press. To those who have promised "to pay after the Holidays" we are forced to remind you that we have many debts which must be paid and that your subscription will help us. Do not delay, as this is important. CONGRESSMAN DEFENDS NEGRO WOMAN. Iowa Representative Comes to Rescue of Aged Negro Washerwoman Knocked Down in Street. Wash. D. C. Jan. 12.—Shooting out his right arm with the skill and strength of a pugilist, Representative N. E. Kendall, of Iowa, last night planted his fist squarely on the lower point of the jaw of a white ruffian who had upset an aged Negro washerwoman and scattered her basket of fresh-laundered clothing in the dirty slush at the busy corner of Fifteenth street and New York avenue northwest. As the hard fist came in contact with his jaw, the ruffian went down and out, lying motionless in the snow for several seconds, and then rising to a sitting posture and gazing stupidly and with blinking eyes about him, as though trying to guess whether he had been kicked by a mule or struck with a sledgehammer, meanwhile nursing his swelling jaw with both hands. Representative Kendall assisted the aged Negro woman to her feet, aled her in gathering her wash, and helped her on a Fourteenth street car, dismissing her exclamations of thanks and gratfulness with a smile. Then he turned and left the vicinity, going to the New Willard to keep an appointment. The Representative was going from his apartments in the Ontario to the hostelry when he saw the assault on the Negro woman. He had just alighted from the car when he saw two white men jostle against the woman and then address her in profane language. He stopped a second and then saw one of the white men knock down the woman with a blow of the fist. Mr. Kendall strode across to the man and felled him. We received many congratulations on our last issue, for which we return thanks. The Negro Press is advocating the enforcement of the Vagrant Law. It is necessary that the personals must be sent by Wednesday. Be sure and sign all communications. THE ATTUCKS HOME. We intend to give much space to the Attucks Home, and will state why we do not approve of existing conditions, which the many interested citizens of the Twin Cities have failed to improve. We are as much interested as any one in the success of this institution, and therefore, we shall expose these conditions. If there is any "graft," the public should be informed, and The Star is equal to the occasion. GEE? but you're glad to see a paper from your home town, when you're in a big city, that's why the Twin City Star is popular. All of our representatives when abroad can point with pride to the news from home—The Star—the paper that placed the people of the Twin Cities before the public.
