"It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment."—Hebrews 9:27. My Brethren and Sisters: By request of the family of the deceased and the consent of the pastor The Washington Bee of this magnificent church I am here to make remarks upon this occasion, which, viewed from a human viewpoint, is sad, indeed. It is sad when a brother or father or friend is taken away from us without even an opportunity of saying a parting word; sad when we think of our loved ones summoned to the bar of God even though from a languishing bed of affliction; but from the divine side it is not so sad after all, when we note that it is a call from labor to reward, a summons from the toils of this inconstant life to peace and happiness; the departure from this world of care and responsibilities, disease and death to a world of endless rest and eternal felicity. In view of which fact, Paul's advice to us is that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope, for, if it were true that death came upon certain men as a mark of God's disapproval and left others as a recognition of their merit, we might justly bemoan his visitation upon our loved ones, but remember, my friends, that death is the common lot of all. (I.) "It is appointed unto man once to die." In fact, anything that has breath is subject to death—the trees of the forest, the birds of the air, the cattle upon a thousand hills, the fishes in the sea; in sort, all things and all men. There are various passages of Scripture in the Bible difficult of interpretation, requiring the mind of trained theologians to understand them; the meaning of other passages is only evident after protracted investigation by the student of Holy Writ, but the meaning of the passage to which your attention is called here and now is thoroughly evident. It takes no theologian, it requires no great Bible scholar to understand: It is being verified every day before our very eyes. Indications are seen suspended from the doors of the rich, the noble, as well as from the doors of the poor and humble. Only two men escaped his ravages since the dawn of time—the one was that person who walked with God and "was not for God took him," and the courageous Elijah who "went up by a whirlwind into heaven." Divine Providence, however, has allotted a certain time to man, or, in other words, has prescribed and assigned to each person a course to finish—a certain task to do; and no excuse. How often do Christians forget this and plead something in their present condition as an excuse for their unfaithfulness and persuading themselves that in other circumstances they would be more devoted to the cause? Some make talents or lack of talents; others. embarrassments of one sort or another; others are constantly promising to do more next WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1921 [Portrait of a man in formal attire, facing left, with a serious expression.] THE LATE W. CALVIN CHASE year or at some other time, and go on year after year neglecting plain duty and thus mocking God. Professional men are so often taken up with their professional cares—the lawyer with his case at court; the doctor with his patients—that God is left out of the equation; and yet we should all remember that in this appointed time God expects of us the performance of our task, especially in our relation to Him. (a) God has assigned to every person his course, upon the fulfillment of which must depend his piety, his joy, his happiness and his peace with God. And each calling, whatsoever its peculiar trials and duties—the trials and duties are those which are assigned us and have been accurately adjusted so as to constitute our probation and the ordeals of our faith and to develop within us loving patience. These conflicts come not of the dust; these troubles do not spring up from the ground; they are heavenly chastisements for our good. All these besetting sins and tribulations and difficulties are permitted that we may be kept ever prayerful and watchful. It is a thorn in the flesh to make all of us, however exalted our station in life, however potent our influence, always humble. Whenever we have losses and reverses, they are more or less designed to try our confidence and resignation and to fix our hearts on things above. Whatever our lot, every one of us should finish his course in the fear of God. The deceased has accomplished or finished his course just assuredly as did John the Baptist, the strange and peculiar preacher of the wilderness, whose startling utterances aroused the people in Jerusalem and Judea and the regions around about Jordan and caused their assemblage unto the baptismal waters where this bold and extraordinary preacher was baptizing; or Paul, the author of the words of our text, a scholar, an orator, the preacher, the greatest contribution to the religion of Christ, barring the Master Himself, in any age of the world; or Moses, the great law giver, the leader of Israel, God's mighty man who from the heights of the mountain gazed on the promised land, but having finished his course, was not permitted to enter; or Martin Luther, the great reformer, who defied the Pope of Rome; or the sainted Wesley, the father of Methodism; or Bunyan, of Pilgrim Progress fame; or Milton, the author of "Paradise Lost" and Paradise Regained"; or any of the sainted dead who today, from the exalted skies, behold us in our struggles and triumphs. (b) To every person is given a definite time in which to finish his or her course—to perform the task which God has assigned him or her; for our days are determined, the number of his months is with Thee; thou hast appointed his bounds and he cannot pass. Our time is allotted by the Almighty God, and to my mind, every man is immortal, both body and soul, until his work is done. It is appointed unto man, once to die—all men, kings and monarchs, whose sceptres have bowed nations; benefactors bestowing blessings upon the meek and lowly; the beggar kissing the hand of charity; and the statesman whose influences are changing the map of the world; or the warrior revolutionizing conditions and establishing new orders of things; yea, the great and the small must die. Like the rivers, the most celebrated and the unknown, the tranquil and the impetuous, those which desolate and those which bless, those which traverse, spaces accurately prescribed and then mingle their waters and lose their names in the ocean—like these, I say, are the lives of men. One day finds him in health and the pride of life. Another days finds him marching through the Jordan. Graves near our feet, both long and short—graves holding in their silent embraces the dust of the greatest as well as the most humble. The voice comes from God, "This night shalt thou surely die." Many of us this very moment, if we could but properly translate God, would hear His call to get ready, for tomorrow—yea, this very day— you shall surely die. Open your eyes, for the spectacle now exhibited, listen to the voice which now speaks from the tomb; be wise, meditate on the truth, and let every man, every woman, in this church prepare to meet his or her God. May I again urge upon you the fact that there is prescribed a time in which to finish your course—a period fixed—a definite time which cannot be passed? What is true of the ocean as to a fixed boundary beyond which it cannot push a ripple is also true of the lives of men. No man, in my opinion, can go beyond that fixed time. Man's life at best is short. The longest human life is but a hand's breadth, an atom, grass cut down in a moment; flower, smoke, vapor, shadow, dream—indeed, our days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle. Things around us are changing, vanishing as a cloud passing away. Is it not wise to think seriously of the brevity of our earthly existence, and in thinking prepare for the end? "It is appointed unto men," the apostle says, "once to die." Death is as certain as it is uncertain. It is certain in that it is appointed unto all men; that every man will some day depart this life is self-evident, but no living man can tell that day. "In a moment shall they die and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without hand."—Job 34:20. The words of Elihu are verified in this very case. The deceased was almost as robust as in former years—strong, hale and, so far as his friends knew, in good health; but that robust form is no more; that voice is silent. Since death is uncertain as to its coming, it is wise to prepare for the end now, this very moment; for Jesus says, "Be ye also ready, for in an hour that ye think not the Son of Man cometh." But speaking of the death of man, what is this death, after all? When taking into consideration the event itself, what is it? Someone has said, "What is death but ceasing to be what we were before?" "We are kindled and put out; we die daily." Another says, "The cessation of the vital activities is death, which is simply another name for discontinuance." It was Longfellow who said, "It is the cessation of our breath." It is dissolution—the separation of the soul and body. "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit to the God who giveth it." This death has reference to the body and not to the souls of men; for the words "dust thou art; to dust returneth" were not spoken of the soul. It is the soul that breathes from canvass; that speaks from marble; that piles an architectural finish; that brightens with words; that soothes the poet's lyre. It is the soul that upheaves in mighty revolutions and settles in reforms; that builds institutions, cities, empires; that transforms the face of the material into the useful arts; that tells for weal or woe upon individual and public destiny. It is the soul that makes us members of the family of God and mingles with the spirit law, the loyal love to God and fellows; that makes it possible for us to receive God into our life and love as a saving force. (I.) It is very clear that the New Testament teaches that there is a future state and that this world is not all nor the greater part of our existence. We are here simply standing in the vestibules of life. We are seed in the ground just beginning to sprout. We are ignorant of what we shall be, but we do know that if we are linked to Jesus, by faith "we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." (II.) Notice, in the second place, after death, the judgment. While this clause is not so clearly evident as the former, "It is appointed unto men once to die," it is clearly taught in the Bible that God will bring every work into judgment, whether it be good or bad. It is therefore very necessary, since there is no chance after death, for us to prepare while we live to meet God in that great judgment day. It should, therefore, be the Christian's greatest concern to finish the course which God has allotted him with joy. While it is true there are many other things worthy of consideration, things that do engage the attention of the best of men and to which we should give consideration and strive to adjust for the betterment of mankind, for the promotion of the Kingdom of Christ, but the Christian's ambition should certainly be to finish his course with joy. In other words, that should be the highest ambition of every sane man, whatever his calling, whatever his profession. But, my brethren, our friend is no more. We shall see his form moving among us no more. We shall listen no more to his timely admonitions and advice. We shall read no more the informing editorials of his trenchant pen, but he leaves a blessed heritage, not only to his family, but to his race. He was a lawyer by profession—a great profession, honored by many worthy and learned men; no other profession can boast of more illustrious characters, bulwarks of political and civic life, when coupled with religious activities, an exceptional contribution to moral force and religious endeavor. Mr. Chase was honored by his professional brethren. He was, indeed, a man among men; not without faults; for he was like unto us—human and fallible—but he was brave, forceful and stalwart. While he was positive and somewhat stern in appearance, and a strict adherent to his beliefs, he was nevertheless a man of kindly disposition to his friends and of tender heart and a keen sense of his relation to those in whom he confided. He did not mince words, but was pronounced and direct. His attacks were often severe, but can anyone truthfully affirm they did not issue from a strong and unrelenting conviction? No man could keep a weekly paper circulating for forty years, and in the front rank of similar publications, without resourceful ability and discriminating judgment. With all he was a wonderful man and a useful citizen. So molded, so constituted by his Maker, that his service will be more and more appreciated as the years come and go. In the passing of William Calvin Chase the entire line of those old landmarks like the immortal Douglass, the untiring Carson, and the scholarly Langston, has been claimed by the grim monster. Their like will never appear again. No one can take their place. Every man comes from the laboratory of God a new thought, a man inimitable and strictly copyrighted. His earthly career is ended. His destiny fixed and no words of the preacher can change his status one iota. "It is appointed unto men once to die"—"once to die"—"but after this the judgment." My friends, that awful day will surely come. Notwithstanding the various engagements with which our lives are crowded and the attractive amusements of social life in a great city, a hopeful sign is that multitudes can and do find time to give serious thought to the final things. In our sober moments we think of the realities of the unseen world, and if we are controlled by wisdom and especially the teachings of the Christ of God, we shall profit by His grace and enjoy the blessing of eternity. It is gratifying that in face of newisms, heresies, higher criticisms, etc., thousands and thousands give evidence of their belief in the realities of the hereafter and are wisely fleeing the wrath of God and thus making sure the joys of the Beulah Land.

The appointment of Senator-elect Willis to the vacancy will be among the first acts of the new governor following his inauguration. A GREAT MAN GONE. Hon. W. Calvin Chase, Editor, Lawyer and a Man. Dead, yet he lives. He went the way of all great men. No man is perfect in life. He was true to his friends; an honest leader of his race; fearless and bold with his pen. Heaven's gain is our loss, yet he lives. He led a busy life, keen in apprehension, moderate in conclusion and ever ready to forgive. He was to his race what a good father is to his children, chastising them when wrong and embracing them when they are right. All classes were the same to him. He was to his race what the grinding stone is to steel, keen and brighter every turn. A good doctor seldom gives sugar-coated pills for quick relief. He believed in the rod for the child, and a bit for the horse. He did not believe in sugar teats for adults. His highest ambition was race elevation, justice and a fair chance in the land of the free and the home of the brave. I write this as my God directs me for condolence of loved ones and my race. Rev. L. C. Moore. 13Q5 Corcoran St. N. W. THE LATE W. CALVIN CHASE AS I KNEW HIM. It was in the month of June, 1906, on a Sabbath day, in old Second Baptist Church, Third and Eyee streets northwest, at one of the lyceum meetings, which the church was noted for in those days gone by. At these meetings Mr. Chase would very often have something to say, and most always when he spoke and took his seat/he had said something. I became so interested in him that I sought an introduction, making his acquaintance through the late Dr. W. Bishop Johnson. No personal friendship grew from this meeting until 1912, although I was a subscriber of his paper and read studiously his editorials. In the year 1912 Mr. Chase and I became intimately acquainted and closely associated, derived from political viewpoints. I was one of Mr. Chase's right-hand men, supporting him and Aaron Bradshaw for delegates to the Republican National Convention, which converted at Chicago, Ill. The Bradshaw-Chase ticket was successful. In the month of April, 1912, ere Mr. Chase had gone to Chicago for the convention, there arose a misunderstanding between us, which lasted for about six months, and perhaps would have existed until this day, had it not been his action initiative—a part of what was his general and natural make-up—to earn a friend, to make a friend, and then retain the friend's friendship. As I was passing his office he saw me, darted to the door and called. I went in. He briefly went over the breach, and then said, "I was wrong; I did you wrong. I am sorry. Let's still be friends." From this time on this peculiar high-hearted man, whom I afterward learned to know well—yes, to have known him to go out of his way to help members of his race to Manufacturing Jeweler and Dealer in Catholic Supplies 727 Seventh Street N. W. (Between G and H) VOIGT is an old name, one that is known and well thought of wherever Fine Jewelry is sold. It is a name that inspires confidence because every product exemplifies the Voigt quality and is made with a view to strengthening the reputation won through forty years of Dependable Jewelry Service. ALWAYS THE LEADING LINE Forty years have passed since we first began the manufacture of jewelry. Many changes have been wrought during that period, but our line now, as ever, is known as the leading line of its kind. Leading—yes!—because it represents the ultimate in manufacture—foremost styles, unexcelled workmanship and superior finish. Fair dealings, prompt attention, courteous clerks.

Yes, I say, I knew William Calvin Chase. I knew of his sufferings. I knew of the accusation lodged against him, and, like the Apostle Paul, he was thrown in tombs because he dared to protect the women of his race from a fiend of the race. Some people endeavored to sneer and snub him afterward, but, like the Nazarine, he forgave them, because he knew they were ignorant and did not understand or know. Now that he is gone let's find the big things he did and the worthy deeds he committed for society. Many may accuse him of being "all for self," but none can truthfully say he was a coward, "hat-in-hand colored American" or a race thief.

Mr. Chase, like all mankind, may have loved wealth and sought to attain and retain, but no one can truthfully say he ever dared to sell his race because of his desire for wealth. Mr. Chase loved his race and sought to place it on an equal elevated plane. He had his peculiarities, his faults, his eccentric habits, and even so, whoever dare say that he was not a friend and lover of his race will not speak the truth. Washington will miss him—miss his bulldog tenacity and fighting zeal for right. Society at large will miss him, will miss his challenge and replies to Southern bourbons whenever they dared to discriminate against us and drives us from our homes. The Parents' League will miss him, miss his firm stand for peace, order, equity and justice. The poor class, known as the domestics of the race, will miss him, miss his protection when high society endeavored to shield herself behind her domestics.

CARLISLE DEFEATS HAMPTON 28 TO 27. The Carlisle basket ball team of this city played Hampton's team last week. The Carlisle Club brought forth the fastest basket ball team seen there for years. The Seasiders were in great form and the visitors found things very interesting for them. The Seasiders started the game by getting a five-point lead. Early in the game the score began to seesaw and everyone had his share of excitement. McLaren and Bradley were in excellent form and were always on time to send a lot of thrill through the veins of the Seasiders' well-wishers. For the Washingtonians, Barlow and Turner were the stars. The visitors were one point in the lead until one minute of play, when Bradley came up with a perfect shot and put the Hampton boys, in the lead. Before the storm of cheers could die away Turner turned the trick by putting in one for the Carlisle on the last tick of the watch. The play was very sensational and the game ended with Carlisle one point in the lead. OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY HOLDS CONCLAVE. The ninth annual session of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity was held at the seat of the Delta Chapter, Meharry Medical College and Fiske University, Nashville, Tenn., from December 27th to 31st inclusive. A constructive and progressive program was mapped out and a very large delegation was in attendance, every chapter, reporting. Many brothers journeyed from a far distance, make Flowers For Funerals Kramer the Florist 916 F Street, Northwest ing an annual pilgrimage to the convention. Many important subjects were discussed and the organization went on record as indorsing the following: More business corporations, the study of the stock market, reading of the Financial Review, racial unity and the supporting of colored schools by colored wealth. In the early spring the fraternity will conduct a week's campaign to encourage the study of literature and history in the various high schools, colleges and homes throughout the land, or in other words to introduce the world to the colored American and at the same time introducing the colored man to himself. Nashville threw open the doors of all her institutions of learning to the visiting delegates of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. On the evening of December 29th the fraternity was tendered a banquet by Brothers Gilbert and Hale at the Tennessee State Normal College. The executive sessions were interesting and well attended, and in order to expedite the business of the convention night sessions had to be resorted to. The following national officers were elected for the year 1921: H. H. Thomas, grand basileous; J. W. Love, grand keeper of records; G. C. Williams, grand keeper of seals; W. Steward Nelson, grand director of publicity and editor of the Oracle (fraternity organ). In recognition of his splendid work on behalf of the fraternity, R. G. Robinson, of Boston, Mass., was unanimously elected a life member of the Grand Council. The open session was held in the Meharry Auditorium and after outlining the history of the fraternity, R. G. Robinson, the national basileous, presented Prof. J. A. Lester, active elected member, who delivered the address of welcome. The speaker of the evening was then presented in the person of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, editor of the Journal of Negro History and Research and dean of West Virginia Collegiate University, whose subject, "Democracy and the Man Farthest Down," was adjudged by unprejudiced critics as the most constructive and scholarly address of his career. Dr. Woodson's extensive research work in the economical and historical field cause him to rank as one of the foremost exponents of the American platform in his respective field. The convention was also ad dressed by other distinguished honorary members, including Dr..C. V. Roman, who discussed the four cardinal principles of the fraternity in their philosophical phases, and by Prof. W. J. Hale, of Tennessee State Normal College. Hon. J. C. Napier addressed the Grand Council and stressed the significance of the Omega spirit. The annual banquet was held on the night of December 30th and no pains nor expense were spared by the Delta Chapter to make this a fitting and happy climax for the many social functions arranged in honor of the visiting delegates. In point of attendance and business concluded, the 1920 conclave was unanimously voted to be the most remarkable in the history of the fraternity. The selection of the place of the next Grand Chapter was voted to the Eta Chapter, Atlanta, Ga., from December 27 to 31, inclusive. The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity is universally recognized among college men as having the highest and most rigid standards, for membership requirements and enjoys the further distinction of having been the first Greek letter fraternity to have been founded in a colored institution of learning. Its honorary roll contains the names of men of national reputation who have brought glory upon their race and their fraternity in the realms of politics, science, music, literature and art. Race supremacy is in the heart, not in the mouth. If a man wants to succeed he must give what success demands—hard work and thought.

The World's Greatest Egyptian Palmist and Clairvoyan EAGLE PENCILS. The fourth annual convocation of the School of Religion; Howard University, Washington, D. C., promises to be of unusual interest and importance. The theme for general discussion, "Brotherhood—The Gospel for Today," and the prominence of those invited to participate in the sessions assure an occasion which will be worthy of the preceding convocations. The sessions of the first day will be largely of a patriotic nature as is fitting for the date, February 22. On the following day the wider aspects of the theme will be presented by such well known leaders as Arthur D. Call, secretary of the American Peace Society; Bishop Charles S. Smith, D. D., of Detroit, Mich.; Rev. W. N. DeBerry, D. D., of Springfield, Mass., and Rev. Frederick Lynch, D. D., editor of Christian Work. On Thursday, February 24, the program will be devoted to the movements in church and State looking toward the realization of brotherhood. Fuller details will be published later. A large attendance is anticipated and an inspiring time is in store for all privileged to attend. LARGE ENROLLMENT. Howard Attendance Indicates Tidal Wave of Educational Interest. With students from practically every State in the Union and ten foreign countries enrolled, the Howard University opened the winter quarter on January 4, 1921, with a recordbreaking registration. The large enrollment during the autumn quarter indicated a tidal wave of educational interest. This was traceable to two causes.

In the second place, the experiences of the war had taught them the full value of training as nothing else could have done. As a result, many returned to the school room to resume their studies where they had been left off years before. It is surprising but gratifying to find that this interest in education has not spent itself, but has proven to be more healthy and permanent than was anticipated. The enrollment at Howard shows an increase in every department over that of 1919. The enrollment follows: College and graduate schools--- 878 School of Law--- 161 School of Religion (including those taking certificate courses 232 Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy --- 459 Total enrollment--- 1,730 When it is remembered that Howard University has discontinued entirely all preparatory work and is now open only to students able to qualify for collegiate and professional courses, its record of attendance is an entirely new thing in the world of colored American education and is of definitely significant import.

Calvin Chase were announced. The announcement was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Robust of health, sturdy of character, untiring and indefatigable in his labors and in his advocacy of the rights of humanity and of the rights of his race, the announcement of his sudden demise cast a gloom alike over friend and foe. How untimely he was taken off; but no one should question the wisdom of Divine Providence, for "He. doeth all things well." This is not the time to pronounce his eulogy. We shall leave that for the future, when men shall have had the time to reflect upon and think about the deeds and accomplishments wrought by this great and good man—this noble character; for truly he was a great and good man, a noble character, a commanding figure, possessed of a striking and magnetic personality. To his friends he was loyal and devoted; to his enemies he was uncompromising, and to humanity in general he was a tender-hearted, loving soul, who feared not the face of man and believed in the living God. We cannot fully grasp nor comprehend the life of this great character. We stand too near; we have no perspective. Fame demands the focus of time. What career was more varied? What recorded experience more interesting and instructive? A life of adventures, of triumphs, of humiliations, of outward and inward conflicts. He was tender yet fierce, brave yet weak, magnanimous yet unrelenting. A great life goes out not as a candle which consumes its own strength and flickers away in the darkness, overwhelmed by its own flame. It goes down like the beautiful sunset at the end of a perfect day, carrying with it its own gloriously shining light and moves on through one eternal day. A shadow creeps behind the roving sun, and we call that night. A curtain falls between us and a parting life, and we call that death. The shadows cover but never blight, darken but never exhaust the rigorous energy which the sun-kissed earth urges with ever-constant force each tree and bud to growth and flower. Death's cold, clamy touch can naught but wither the garment the soul did wear; nor can the shadows cast by the black mystery which overhang a tomb stay the energy of an animated truth, or blast the hope of a noble thought, vivified by the enthusiasm of a human soul. Every day is like a human life, and every human life is like a day. In the morning the babe coos in its mother's arms; at noon it towers in the majesty of its strength and in the meridian of its power; and then the evening comes with its slow march to the western hills—the fatal hour strikes. The great, the good and the wise are those rare and beautiful souls who have lived all through the day; counted their hours, not by the dial, but by the throbs of beneficent energy; garnered their wealth by giving; rested their hands by working; increased their wisdom by imparting; counted their benefactions, not in gold, but in spirit; reared their mansions, not out of marble, but of the gratitude of men; weaved their garments, not out of silk, but out of their thoughts, the hopes and the aspirations of their consecrated lives. They have been the moral spendthrifts, the intellectual usurers, the spiritual misers. All they received they gave, and all they gave they kept. Thus was the life of W. Calvin Chase. In his death his family and friends suffer an irreparable loss, the community a noble benefactor, his race an ardent advocate, and humanity a loving soul. Not simply because it has lived for forty years. Old age, as a rule, says to the great majority of the living, "Thou shalt surely die." Some things, however, improve with age, and The Bee is one of them. For forty years The Bee has been a constant and welcome visitor to many homes in Washington and throughout the country. Many hearts have been made happier and more noble by the weekly calls of The Bee. So long, therefore, as there are hearts to cheer and homes to be made happy, The Bee should continue to buzz. As for honey, The Bee has it in abundance. Honey is sweet, and most people like sweet things. So long, therefore, as there is a sweet tooth, honey will be needed. The Bee must continue to supply it. Dead Bees produce no honey. But it is just as impossible to find a bee without a wing as it is to find a bee without a sting. What are stings good for? They are not ornamental and they are not good to eat. Extract the sting from the bee and it becomes as harmless as a butterfly and as useless as a June bug. The sting helps the bee to keep alive. The Apostle says that the sting of death is sin, but we say the sting of The Bee is death. We would warn all persons, therefore, who would enjoy long life, peace and prosperity, to avoid the sting of The Bee. When Garfield died, McKinley said: "Garfield is dead, but the Government at Washington still lives." When McKinley was assassinated somebody said: "McKinley is dead, but the Government at Washington still lives." Editor Chase is dead, but The Washington Bee still lives. The Bee is a little old-timy in some of its ways, we admit. So Peace be to his ashes. W. CALVIN CHASE. is truth. So is honesty. So is virtue. The Bee prefers the plain truth without the dressing or the "stuffing," plain honesty without the frills, and virtue with the calico dress, than to try to keep up with swallow-tail coats and the hobble skirts. The Bee prefers to follow the example of its Lord and Master, who was a friend to the poor and who went about doing good, than to be like the Pharisees, who keep the outside of the cup clean, while inwardly they are full of dead men's bones. The Bee has no apologies to make for keeping company with the poor or the ignorant. It was said of our Saviour that the common people heard Him gladly. So long as there are poor and ignorant members of the human race to succor and cheer, The Bee has a mission and a good reason for continuing to live. The poor you have always with you, and whenever you will you may do them good. The Bee is set for the defense of the poor. Long live The Bee! EDITOR LAID TO REST Continued From First Page William Calvin Chase believed in the reality of eternal things. He believed in God, and it is this, my brethren, that makes the difference between man and man. "Faith is a vision of truth, inspiring action." I care not how many volumes of Aristotle you have devoured; how conversant you are with Blackstone and Kent, or how much Homer has charmed you with that cradle song of civilization, or how much you have wept with Dido, sighed with Sappho, laughed with Voltaire and mused with Milton, if life to you has no meaning, if history is but a tale told by an idiot, if man is no more than a molecule—then you are poorer than the humblest peasant who, though ignorant and unlearned, believes that the Lord is his Shepherd, and God is his Almighty Friend. Paul's education would have left him stranded in oblivion, but when faith electrified his mind with the glimpses of destiny he wrote his name upon the hills that crumble not. Yet there are many, who do not consider the end—not even the end of their earthly existence, and, like Belchazzar and the thousand of his lords, unless they obey God, will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. My brethren, the general judgment day is a fact. There is no fact more clearly demonstrated in the Bible than the fact that God has appointed a time in the which He will judge the world. Jesus says, "When the Son of Man shall come in His glory and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory and before Him shall be gathered all nations." (Matt. 25:31.) Paul says: "In the time of this ignorance, God winked at, but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent, because He hath appointed a day in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained." Paul urges the people of Athens to prepare for the judgment. Is it not a wise thing to do? All that second trial business has no warrant in the Scripture. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that which he has done, whether it be good or bad." According to the Scripture, then, God has appointed a day, whether it is twenty-four hours or an extended period, when the secrets of all men shall be judged by the Lord Jesus Christ, according to the Gospel. (1) Man's conscience agrees with the. Bible on this point, as man dreads retribution; for even natural religion leads us to expect future retribution, and, of course, some sort of judgment by which that retribution will be rewarded. Even heathen mythology had its judges by whom the dead had their places and conditions assigned to them in the other world. I would commend his loved ones to God—to the Christian religion which succors and blesses when all things earthly fail. To the members of the legal profession who honored him in his lifetime, and who now honor his blessed memory, by your presence here, above all, keep in touch, in the very closest touch, with God. It is said that just before Daniel Webster, one of America's foremost lawyers, died, he whispered to Mr. Curtis, his biographer, these words: "I had intended to prepare a work for the press, to bear my testimony to Christianity, but it is now too late. Still, I would like to bear witness to the Gospel before I die." Writing materials were brought, and he dictated: "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief. Philosophical objections have often shaken my reason with regard to Christianity, especially the objections drawn from the magnitude of the universe contrasted with the littleness of this planet; but my heart has always assured me, and reassured me, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a divine reality." And these words are carved on the marble that rests over his sacred dust at Marshfield. But, as that brilliant orb was going down behind the western hills, he asked, as if still intently anxious to preserve his consciousness to the last, and to watch for the moment of his departure, so as to comprehend it, whether he were alive or not. On being assured he was, he said, as if assenting to what had been told him, because he himself perceived it was true, "I still live!"—his last words. The sunset had come; but it was a sunrise to know no more setting. "His earnest soul repeated, I think, the last words he spoke on earth as his first in heaven—"I still live!" "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." The casket in which the late editor lay was of solid mahogany, mounted with silver handles and plate; with a double metallic lining. The funeral director was Mr. Thos Frazier, of 723 T street northwest. By Armond W. Scott. My friends, we come today to pay the last tribute of respect to all that remains of our departed friend and co-laborer, William Calvin Chase, who died on January 3rd, in the same house in which he first saw the light of day, and, if we had nothing more, this large and representative audience, composed of the best blood of our race, together with these many magnificent floral tributes, are sufficient to demonstrate to the world the high esteem in which he was held in this community by the members of his race, who believe in men who have put themselves on the altar for this oppressed race of ours. At the age of ten years he started out to sell newspapers, and thus he was enabled to materially and substantially aid his widowed mother and six fatherless children. As an athlete, he sought to be numbered among the best, and was recognized as a superior in that regard. The same desire actuated him to become successful, and, if possible, superior in all of his undertakings. As a student, he displayed an appreciation of the real and practical, brushing aside theories for established facts. The trend of his mind naturally led him toward a determination to affect the opinions of others, with the view to the formation of organization as a necessary means of race progress. Starting out as a newsboy, his ambition was to become the owner of a newspaper modeled after the type of the ones he had been engaged in selling. To his effort in the newspaper business he naturally and wisely sought the addition of a knowledge of the law, as much to broaden his intellectual vision as to form an adjunct to material progress. Participation in political affairs was a logical outgrowth of the development of the newspaper business. By strict adherence to the most approved political tenets and in making alliances with the most powerful and wise associates, he became a commanding figure in affairs. In harmony with his general regard for excellence, he made commendable progress in the histrionic art and became quite popular in that sphere, meriting the praise of theatrical critics and lovers of art. Forty-one years ago he established and has since continuously managed and controlled The Washington Bee, and during all of that period has never missed an issue, notwithstanding the fact that publication of a colored newspaper is the hardest lot which can be undertaken by any man. He made it a business to locate and expose, human wolves parading in sheep's clothing, and to them, be it to his credit, he gave no quarter. He was a man every inch of him, 100 per cent colored 365 days in the year, and never faltered in his fidelity to this oppressed race of ours. He despised trimmers and sycophants and admired men, and was always found on the firing line when the battle of the race was thickest. He exposed rottenness in high places and caused fear and trembling in the breasts of those of this class, who ventured out of the path of rectitude and virtue. For all of which the race and the community owe to him a lasting debt of gratitude. Like the lowly Nazarene, he loved the plain people. And the "common people heard him gladly." He had a will of his own and the courage of his convictions, and when he thought he was right, "the gates of hell could not prevail against him." And, like Hamlet said to his father, "he was a man." So, likewise, I say of him, he was a man. While he was relentless in his opposition to a foe, yet he had a heart as tender as that of a child. He was fond of children and delighted in making them happy by giving them gifts. He was generous to his family and friends, and that for which he deserves most credit during his entire life was his devotion to his invalid sister, and his uniring labors, covering a period of twenty-five years, in his efforts to make her comfortable and happy. How many have been the sleepless nights, of which the community knew nothing, which he had spent in tenderly and faithfully waiting upon her and administering to her every need. He had not only been prominent in local affairs, but he was a national character. Like every other human being, yea, like all of us, he had his faults. But his virtues and good deeds outnumbered them. If he had enemies, they were those who are opposed to red-blooded, independent manhood. And let me ask each of you here today to take as your motto as a guide in human affairs this beautiful motto of the Order of Elks: "His faults we write upon the sand; his virtues upon the tablets of love and memory." Every court in the District of Columbia adjourned out of respect to his memory, and, in response to the fitting and touching eulogies made in open court by his fellow members of the bar, the presiding judge, among other things, said, "That nature had endowed Mr. Chase with a commanding personality, which readily impressed those with whom he came in contact; that he was an unusual character, with a will of his own and capable of doing things." He died with his boots on, and was struck down in the line of duty. GOVERNMENT PRINTING RELIEF ASSOCIATION The Mutual Relief Association of the Government Printing Office held its eighteenth annual meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Building. It is an association composed of more than 225 members who are employed by the government from all parts of the United States, whose object is, to give relief to members in case of sickness. It pays $10 per week sick benefits for six weeks on $1 per month. There were 29 sick members relieved last year. The secretary and treasurer's reports showed a total yearly receipt of $2,362.86; expenditures, $1,067.20, leaving a balance of $1,295.66, which was divided among the membership, the maximum sum received being $7.81. Officers elected for the year 1921 were: Rev. J. N. Beaman, president; Eugene F. Jackson, vice-president; Norris W. Cunney, financial secretary; John Moore, recording secretary; Robert L. Holland, treasurer; William H. Audrick, chairman of governing committee; Rev. Boone, chaplain; Rev. J. E. Ennis, chairman of finance; J. W. Butcher and Ernest L. Pinn; Rev. W. T. Henderson, chairman of membership committee; Clarence Hamilton and M. N. Corbett; Mr. Slaughter, attorney; Dr. W. A. Tolson and Dr. W. J. Howard, examining physicians. Rev. Beaman is now serving his sixth term as president. Many of the leading citizens of Washington are members of this organization. FORMER HEAD OF QUALITY AMUSEMENT CORPORATION TO PRODUCE COLORED MOTION PICTURES At last a corporation with sufficient backing to successfully produce motion pictures is here. Announcement was $1000.00 FREE COURSES in Automobile Mechanics, Auto Repair work, Public Speaking, Business, English and Shorthand and Typewriting will be given by the 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A. for Colored Ex-Service Men This fund has been available by thee National Work Council to be used exclusively for Colored Ex-Service Men of Washington FOR FULL PARTICULARS ADDRESS THE 12th Street Branch Y. M. C. A 1816 12th Street, N. W. made this week on lower Broadway that Robert Levy, the former General Manager of the Quality Amusement Corporation, is at the head of a concern that will produce high class pictures with colored actors to supply the many theaters throughout the country catering to colored trade. The company will enter the field and make it possible for continuous employment to colored performers will be backed by capital amounting to almost three hundred dollars, and this alone is a guarantee of a bright future for exhibitors, actors, and others directly concerned. No attempt will be made to sell stock to further the efforts of the company,hence it will be unnecessary for the promoters to make promises which they cannot live up to. In a venture of this kind money, and plenty of it, is very necessary. Mr. Levy and his associates as their first move decided on the amount of money it would take to launch and keep running this new corporation and immediately laid aside thousands of dollars for the purpose. Coming at this time this venture should be hailed with delight by the exhibitors all over the country for high class motion pictures produced by a high class concern and bringing before our people scores of talented colored artists will mean increased patronage. Mr. Levy has carved for himself and associates an enviable reputation among colored people in America, by successfully operating theaters among us and bringing a higher tone when he introduced high clas Broadway dramatic and other productions by colored actors. He has been in the motion picture production business for over fifteen years and his experience gained in operating theaters successfully among us places him in a position to know what will bring money to the exhibitors. He also has the moral support of some of the most prominent colored people in the country. Mr. Levy plans to produce at the start five and six reel features with all colored actors of a type that will bring exhibitors who use these pictures big money and he is desirous of hearing from every exhibitor in the country who caters to colored audiences and find out if the exhibitor is willing to contract and take one picture every month for a period of one year.

John Reed, now established in our town in charge of the Galloway Methodist Church, is one of the most progressive ministers we have had. It sometimes seems that the church develops narrow-gauged autocrats out of its ministers and we do know of some very much shrivelled up skypilots in Virginia, but in Rev. Reed the town can boast of a preacher whose views are broad and extend beyond the confines of church worship. His church is showing remarkable improvement and is quite a community center for many Christians and unbelievers. He has frequently attended meetings at the sister churches, which indicates his liberal views. He brings with him an enviable record and Falls Church may, indeed, count herself fortunate in gaining such a minister. Having recently become a member of the local N. A. A. C. P., we have none more ardent than he. His church stands open to any meeting that is for social uplift. Long live Rev. Reed and his works. The La Cingree Club entertained a very smart gathering recently. THE LAFAYETTE PLAYERS in A BIG TWO-IN-ONE SHOW Drama and Vaudeville "THE HEART BREAKERS" with H. L.
