Trouble Is Brewing WHERE DO YOU STAND—WITH THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH OR MR. ADAMS? "Save Metropolitan! This Church Belongs to the Race." To the members of Metropolitan: Where do you stand—with the church or with Mr. Adams? The name of your church is being scattered broadcast in decision. The church established for the glory of God is being heralded forth to the world as an institution which would do four of its trustees an injustice. In any factional fight it is not a question as to who has been humiliated and who has felt hurt, but the question which transcends all, is what effect will it have on the children of the Sunday school, and the sinners who would otherwise come to the church and who in years to come would be the pillars of the church? Think that you are not just building for today or tomorrow nor five hundred years from now; but that you are building for eternity. Heating plant or no heating plant, what has that got to do with disrupting the church? To those who are conducting this campaign to militate against the present administration of the church, how many souls are being lost simply because you failed in getting the gentleman whom we all admire and appreciate as being very efficient, to put in a boiler? Are all the boilers in the world worth the value of one soul? Did not the man with the "muck rake" miss a crown because he kept his eyes to the ground? VOL.

What have the members ever done to you? Suppose that you do disagree with some one or more of the head officials, is that any reason why you should use your influence by published pamphlets to do that which is equivalent to the destroying the church to get what you call justice before the city? You may ask me what I have to do with it? My answer is this: I am a member of the Church of Allen the world over. Metropolitan is as much mine as it is yours. We of the church have organized to propagate the cause of Christ. Metropolitan is one of the guide posts of Allenism and before we see it crushed we will call to the A. M. E. Church, the world over to rally to the cause of God, Allen and Metropolitan. To Brothers Small, Johnson, Reed, and Wingard: Gentleman, I have before me your pamphlet entitled Plant." You close your appeal to the "Facts Concerning the Heating membership by the following words on page six over your signature, viz. "Upholding the church interest at all times and under all circumstances, we the undersigned trustees, felt it our manly duty to withhold our names from any contract that would plunge our church into a heavy indebtedness, and since we have been denied the opportunity to explain our position in open church meeting, we therefore publish these facts that the whole membership, what led us to take this action." Signed R. A. Small, M. H. Johnson, A. F. Reed, E. P. Wingard. In concluding your letter to Bishop Johnson you say the church is bound to suffer as a result. We therefore appeal to you, dear bishop to assist in getting this matter before the membership of the church that all might understand our position and might know beyond doubt that efficiency is workmanship and not prejudice prompted us to take this action." In the former you seem to feel that you wanted the church to know your side of it. Is that without prejudice? In closing to the bishop it is about "efficiency." What is the trouble? Now, gentlemen, not only does the whole membership know your cause of complaint but the whole community. I shall take time to tell what the community thinks of your actions. The community holds that even if you were ill-treated, that you should have stood by the church and avoided all this unpleasant talk. Suppose, gentlemen, that some offi- The Washington Bee cer did make a mistake, what should you as his material armor-bearers do? Crush him or go to him and tell him personally of his faults? How many of us are infallible? If you had to bear the burdens of your pastor judging how you are crying for sympathy simply because you could not have your own way, what would you do when the very men who should in and under all circumstances, stand by the pastor unless he has committed some moral wrong—not simply hurt your tender young feelings. There is no one in the world who can say a word about the moral character of Dr. Tanner. If he saw things in a different light from what you did is that enough for you to break all your church vows; crucify hi mon the cross of public scorn and try to crush out all the influence that he has wielded for years past and who aside from his father Bishop Tanner, is one of the pillars of the A. M. E. Church in America? Is a personal offense worth crushing such a man? Suppose that you have been mistreated, have you suffered as Christ suffered, and are you not willing to suffer something for His cause? You should remember that your positions are the same as those of the Levites, under the Mosaic dispensation! What have you ever seen in the scripture of any of them attacking the priest? If such is the case it is not recorded in history. The general public takes the opposite view to that which you desire it to take. The public holds that not all the heating plants in the world nor all the money ever coined can atone or the splitting of a church, and thereby being responsible for the souls whom the church could save. Is a little money saved or that fact that you feel, that you have been humiliated, sufficient reason to hurl broadcast such news? I. too, have been humiliated, in some churches where. I have worshipped and if you don't believe me ask Mr. Reed, the former superintendent of the Sunday school. Did I stay as a storm center and try to break up the Sunday school simply because I was not allowed to teach the school new music and draw around me a musical organization which would make the school the very best singing school in the District? No, sir! Rather than cause a single child to 'stumble I got out, and am giving my services where they are needed. Now, gentlemen, as you are not satisfied why don't you resign and go where you will be satisfied. If you are going to stay in the church, what WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY OCTOBER 1, 1921 good can you do by simply to justify yourselves, try to down the pastor. The first Sunday in October is communion. Forgive all and go there and take communion and see how much better you will feel. You will forgive, won't you, Dr. Tanner, and if you have made a mistake you are not too big to acknowledge it, are you, Doctor? Knowing you as I do I don't think so. There is one thing that these gentlemen of the opposition, do you not know that Dr. Tanner came of a stock and that his family is among the foremost people of the world either white or colored? Are you not aware that they belong to the race? In their name the colored race glories and not one of them can be downed. His father, a bishop in the denomination to which you have sworn allegiance; his brother, Henry O. Tanner, the pride of France and others I could quote. Shall these be made debased because a gentleman whom we all know is efficient did not get a church contract? Is the game worth the candle? Decide between Mr. Adams whom we all admire, or decide between the church of God, the church of Allen and a mah of unquestioned moral standing and whose family stands as the foremost educators of the world? In closing I would say, that if you are so much in love with Mr. Adams that you are willing to sacrifice your church and your pastor, why don't you give up your positions and go out as his publicity agents? You can't serve two masters. Either serve "Efficiency" or the Church of the Living God. This is your church. Drop the hatchet! Forgive and forget. Your appeal is foolish. Do not stay in the church and fight it. Either stop fighting or go some where else. That's the verdict of the community. Mr. Adams does not need this unpleasant advertisement. Where do you stand—with the church or with Mr. Adams? TURNER MEMORIAL A. M. CHURCH NEWS. "Peace, Harmony, Progress and Prosperity." Turner wishes to thank The Bee for opening its columns to us for the publication of our church news. Washington now knows that we are advancing. We are building not just for today nor tomorrow, but until "Time Breaks the Eternity." We had six converts during the revival. Aside from these, we had three accessions, and they are all good workers. They are Mr. Jacob E. Garner and his wife, Mrs. Ella Garner. Bro. Garner helped Dr. Briscoe, who is now our-presiding elder, to blaze the trail for Brown's Memorial, years ago. He has been appointed our class leader. Mrs. Garner has such a sweet voice that the organist immediately asked her to join the choir, which she did. Mrs. Maggie Brown joined, and during the absense of the pianist at the Sunday School, she presided at the piano. She has a splendid voice and has also joined the choir. Turner has had quite a few visitors this week, all of them coming to hear Sister Scott, being invited by Brother Smith. Among the visitors were Sister Nelson, the Evangelist, who needs no introduction to Washington. The sister has such pleasing manners and timely gestures that it keeps one's attention violently riveted upon her. Rev. J. D. Mitchell of Mount Aria Baptist Church has been with us quite frequently. Together with Rev. J. R. Pursell of the McKinley Memorial Church, Brothers R. R. Jackson and F. L. Jones of the same church, accompanied by some real spiritual sisters. Rev. Charles Vessels, P. E., of the First Episcopal District of the Church of Christ, and Sister Scribner of Mt. Pisgah were present during the week. Mother Scribner represents the godly and fearless generation which is still active but just preceded us. When she stands up with her eyes blazing, and every fiber in her body attuned for the battle for God, one cannot but feel that she has "borne the burden and the heat of the day," and that she has "fought a good fight." Mother, we promise you that we "will keep the faith." The Sunday School had forty-four scholars. We were glad to greet Mr. John Sewall, the assistant superintendent, who has been running on the steamer Commonwealth between New York and Fall River. He took hold of the school as if he had been there all the summer. Mr. Sewall is a progressive young man, and the writer is going to do all he can to help him build up the Sunday School. We had one new scholar this morning and quite a few new faces. The name of the former is Miss Allen Askins. Rev. McEaddy, the pastor, preached a christening sermon this morning, his text being "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Mrs. Elijah Reynolds and Mrs. Maggie D. Reynolds presented their children to be baptised. Their names follow: Vernon McInham, Gwendolyn Dalue, Thelma Leileihua and Joffee Lomax Reynolds. With Misses Phillis E. and Vivian Reynolds, already in, and with Mrs. Reynolds with her music, culture and refinement, and Mr. Reynolds, whom the writer admires as much as any man he ever met. Well, can't you see that Turner is moving on? Little James Allen McEaddy was also baptised, as well as was Master Robert Ford Jones. The writer stood as God-father for the latter, while Mr. James Allen McEaddy, Sr., and Mrs. Emma Elizabeth McEaddy, the parents, as well as Miss Jeanette Colvin, a relative, stood for the former. The well, filled choir sang appropriate hymns. Sunday, after the pastor loaned his vehicle to the writer and his family, who enjoyed a pleasant ride to Benning, where they were entertained at the residence of the McEaddy's, as mentioned in the above baptismal news. They had for dinner—well, of course you know. Why should I tell. We then repaired to Ward Memorial A. M. E. Church, Rev. Holder pastor. Rev McEaddy preached the sermon. Turner's Choir, together with Ward's Choir, rendered very good music. Turner is, advancing, and we solicit new members. "Come thou and go with us and we will do thee good." By E. V. C. Williams. The trustees of the Day Nursery Association held a meeting on the 21st instant at 1135 New Jersey Avenue. The report of the Executive Secretary for the month of August was presented, and other important business transacted. *** Friends, the immediate needs of the Nursery are very pressing.

Mrs. Florence Kelley, secretary of the Consumers' League and member of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public her impressions of the London session of the Pan-African Con has just returned. "The keynote of the meeting the need of world union knowledge of the people of Africa descent out the world and determination to accept no interior position, whether civil, educational or political, by whomsoever imposed. This was clearly and nobly expressed by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in a manifesto which was unanimously adopted by the Congress at the closing session of the London meetings. Most terrible was the lot of colored Americans in South Africa, as it was exposed by one of the speakers, who said there was starvation among them because they had to work nine months in the year for the white men who had taken their land; three months to pay the British government's taxes, and had therefore no "The meetings were held a stone's throw from Westminster Abbey, and a few blocks from the Parliament—truly in the heart of the British Empire. It was a gathering of men and women of distinction, coming from all parts of Africa, from the British West Indies (Grenade and Jamaica), and from divers parts of the United States. "Mr. Archer, a former Mayor of Battersea, a native of London, of African descent, presided at one of the sessions, at which, as a member of of the OTHER race (not of our race) came to the Nursery and kindly gave each little one in the yard a penny. She said, "I like to help the children." We thank her. She promised to return and give the office force a donation for the work. * * * May the Father use us more and more to lift up, train and redeem the little ones who daily attend the Nursery is our prayer.

Music lovers wended their way to the Waltz Dream Auditorium. Tuesday night and crowded every available space in the large hall and witnessed the production of the stellar attraction of the season, the recital given by the Amphion Glee Club of Washington, D. C., Prof. J. Henry Lewis, director. From early evening until the program was well under way, a quiet, determined but good natured throng poured into the hall, and as soon as seats could be provided riveted their attention upon the progress of the unusual program And the Amphions, what of them? Every man seemed to rise to meet the occasion, and the result was truly electrifying. Thundereous applause greeted every number, and encore after encore was called for, the participant most graciously responding. Not for many a moon will Atlantic City enjoy such a rare treat again. for the singers seemed to lay aside dull care, they seemed to forget everthing save the one fact, that they had to live up to the reputation that had preceded them to the shore, and they sang as never a group of men has ever sung before in this city. The tones of their sweet songs floating upon the wings of the night like a gentle lullaby to which the audience listened in wavet attention, but ever and anon breaking out in spontaneous applause. Several of the most notable numbers were: Solo, selected, G. C. Caldwell; solo, S. W. Waters; quartet, selected, Messrs. Jefferson, Champ, Beale and Washington; Break, Break, Break, "Brewer," a chorus by the Amphions, Excelsior, "Balfe" and Holy Thor "Donizetti," choruses by the Amphions. At the close of the program Mme. I. O. Keene's orchestra played for the reception. EXHIBIT GIVES COLORED AMERICAN PROMINENT PLACE. Citizens of All Races Join in Demonstration. The colored citizens of New York City and State are enthusiastic over the plans being made for the great festival and exhibit of three centuries of racial and immigrant contribution to the national life of America, which is to be held from October 29th to November 12th. The purpose of this demonstration is to bring to the attention of the American people the helpful part which each national and racial group has played in bringing forward for the making of America the best products of its ingenuity and latest powers. The English, the Pole, the French, the Italian, the German, the Scandanavian, the Russian, the colored American, and others—thirty-two in all—will each prepare a prominent exhibit and present a pageant and musical festival to show what its main contribution to the making of America has been. It has been stated by some of the officials of the exhibition that the plans of the colored American group are among the best thus far compiled, and will do credit to the race and show the thousands of persons in attendance what great contributions the colored Americans have made in music, literature, art, invention, labor and in hope in the face of discouragement. The colored American committee, of which James Weldon Johnson is president, will hold a great musical festival with 200 or more voices, and an orchestra of fifty pieces, which will present the only American folk music, and the modern musical creations of the distinguished composers of the race. Mrs. Daisy Tapley will direct the chorus. Eugene Kincklo Jones is chairman of the executive committee: There shall also be a graphic exhibit showing what has been contributed in the other lines mentioned. President Harding and several cabinet members, and Governor Miller of the State of New York, with his staff, will be among the distinguished visitors present, and the reception committee will be composed of prominent representatives from each racial group participating. This is said to be one of the first occasions in America when colored Americans have been welcome to participate in all of the functions and demonstrations along with other groups and without discrimination. UNION LEAGUE CONFERENCE PLANS. The National Urban League has released an announcement of subjects WHY NOT BUT MORE ELAGORATE DESIGNS ON THE GOLLAR? which will be discussed at its annual conference in Chicago, which is to be held October 19th to 22nd. On Wednesday, October 19th, some distinguished social worker will present a general statement of the most serious problems which the world is facing today. T. Arnold Hill, executive secretary of the Chicago Urban League, will indicate how these problems are affecting the colored American in particular, and tell what is being done in the city of Chicago to meet them. The afternoon and evening will be devoted to discussion on the subject of unemployment, and its extent and effect among colored Americans. Urban League Industrial Secretaries will indicate what has been done in many cities of the middle west to create temporary or permanent jobs and to give relief to single men or women. Representatives from the U. S. Department of Labor will be present. On Thursday, in the morning, the delegates will discuss the subject: "Getting Hold of the Newcomer." It is thought by students of social problems that the newcomer to our cities is still not reached in an effective manner, as there is still a considerable delay in his becoming adjusted to the stern requirements of competitive city life. During the Thursday afternoon and evening, discussion will be held on the colored American's relation to organized labor and the need of constructive social service in cities as exposed by recent investigations made north and south by C. S. Johnson, director of the Urban League's Department of Research and Investigations, and Jesse C. Thomas, Southern Field Secretary. On Friday special reports will be made by Urban League Executives on how the league conducts its health education campaigns, its industrial program, its housing investigations, its recreational work with boys and girls, and its juvenile probation and protective service. A discussion will be held of welfare work in connection with industrial plants through which colored Americans may raise their living standards as well as develop and help increase production. Persons interested are requested to communicate with Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, 127 East 23d Street, New York City, or T.

Whereas—It has pleased Almighty God to spare us another year to meet in convention assembled in Baltimore, Md., let us pledge ourselves anew to do all in our power to secure equality of rights for our race which is denied them by the American people, and. Whereas—the Constitution of these United States guaranteeing to all citizens equal opportunities and protection, is still not enforced in behalf of the black people of the country; be it Resolved, That we continue to denounce the increased lynchings of colored American citizens and the silence of the pulpit and press against the same.

Cunningham. Such messages as yours, from strangers, are very encouraging. Believe me, I am deeply touched and greatly strengthened by them. I assure you they will make me redouble my efforts in the cause I have espoused. A man who is so supported and cheered forward can dare and endure anything. The good fight, therefore, has only been begun by me, and the end will be victory. For God rules. As yet I have kept the faith, and I still shall keep it. Nor shall I, your message assures me, stand or fight or suffer alone. Nor shall I rejoice in victory alone. "One for the kingdom, one in the kingdom," all brave and faithful men of all races and creeds may say, for that which unites us is greater than that which divides. Yours faithfully and appreciatively, ROBERT T. KERLIN. The above letter speaks for itself, and it sounds like the "voice of a friend!" Twelve millions of grateful colored Americans sympathize with Prof. Robert F. Kerlin, who dared to stand up like a man and condemn the cruel wrong done the colored men who defended themselves during the Elaine, Ark., riot in 1919. He wrote an open letter to the Governor of Arkansas protesting against what he termed the unjust sentences pronounced on those colored Americans in connection with the Elaine, Ark., riots. And for this bit of just bravery in him he was dismissed from the position he held in the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va. Ah, they say to him by their unfair and un-American actions, since you have been bold enough to speak out for justice in behalf of the colored men and race, we, sir, will cut off your bread and butter! But this shall not be done! Prof. Kerlin had previously written a book entitled "The Voice of the Negro." And, in order to stand back of this great friend, and see that he shall not want for a decent living, every colored home in these United States should have one of Prof. Kerlin's books therein. Again, listen: It is well known that any, white man of respectability who dares to stand up and speak out in behalf of the colored race does it at the risk of losing everything most dear to him as an American citizen. O, friend, think of the sainted Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, who fought the last battle of his life in behalf of the colored soldiers who were so shamefully dismissed, without honor, from the army, after having sacrificed their lives for many years in defense of the honor of the flag! Senator Foraker knew that he was on the unpopular side of the question. But he J. H.

This is one of the largest playgrounds in our midst. The daily work being done and the activities engaging the attention of the young people are great and very helpful. The children's work exhibited included painting, clay modeling, basketry, plain and fancy sewing and crocheting. Among the beautiful articles displayed was a handsome crochet bedspread. It was made of various shades of zephyr, and attracted the attention of the visitors, who regarded it as very wonderful. We were told that W. B. Moses offered to buy it for one hundred and seventy-five dollars. The folk dances, ring games, schlag ball, basket ball and captain ball, in which the children engaged, were very interesting. Those participating showed a high degree of efficiency. The Howard Playground exhibition was largely attended by parents and teachers, about three hundred parents being present. Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, the supervisor of the Washington Playgrounds, was present, and expressed herself as being highly pleased with the work. We cannot say too much to encourage the teachers, Miss Daisy Pierce, director, and Mrs. Mabel Jones, her assistant, who so earnestly instructed the children who came to the Howard Playground. Because of the concentration of their energies, there have been splendid results. Young ladies, you have done excellent work.

The brilliant young pianist, Sylvester Smith, is also a winning lawn tennis player, he having played in all of the tennis matches held throughout the East last summer, bringing home many silver trophies as a winner. Sylvester is performing nightly with his orchestra down town at the New York Dancing Academy. Our good friend, Dr. Sumner Wormley, will be heard in his annual song recital the coming musical season. The doctor possesses a splendid baritone voice. Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Choir will begin Sunday under the leadership of Mrs. Mamie Grant.

Hoffman, pleased its many admirers in a well arranged program at the Republic Theatre on Sunday. The rendition of "The Palms," cornet solo by W., Calvin Chase, Jr., with band accompaniment, was superb. Mr. Chase again scored heavily on Monday night in a "Romance," for cornet. This innovation, originated by Manager Pinchback, is being copied down town by theatre managers. The Washington Lodge of Elks staged their band along with the picture at a down town play house during the week. The white high schools are to have a regimental band. An army officer has been assigned to begin the work of organizing the same. The Bee only mentions this to show you how far the whites are behind in this organization. Why the colored high schools have had a regimental band for two years or more. Prof. Amos and Prof. Wallace have paraded time and again with their band. HERBERT'S GREATER MINSTRELS.

What teacher has not at some time heard a pupil say, "Oh, I always make that mistake, don't I?" It seems to be a perennial, never-failing, ever-recurring remark, like passing the time of day or commenting on the weather, but it should be greeted with a deal less patience. It is always delivered with a cheerful confidiness, as if it were a pleasant little joke which the teacher should enjoy as much as the pupil does—and, saddest of all, it is a refrain which is carrolled forth not alone by the careless, inattentive pupil (from whom on expects little else), but often by the good, thoughtful one. "I always make that same mistake" is the outward and visible expression of an inward and lamentable lack of care—a proof that the pupil "plays through" his study or piece without any particular goal in view, and without an earnest endeavor to make each playing better than the last. At the first symptoms of the "same mistake" malady, the pupil should be trained. or, if studying alone, should train himself to carefully note each mistake and to look ahead for that mistake as for a danger signal when playing through the second time. Wrong notes and painful fumblings soon, vanish before slow, painstaking practice. If YOU are a "same mistake" pupil make up your mind today to uproot that particular phrase from your vocabulary, and, in its place adopt the motto, "Never make the same mistake twice!" Concentrate earnestly on a RIGHT performance—not on the fact that you have previously made a mistake. If a note is F sharp, and you have wrongly played F, do not think "here is where I always-play F, and it's wrong," but "here is where I must play F sharp, and that's right." ing a record enrolment.

MARTIN REPLIES TO MR. EDMONDSON. To the Editor of The Bee: To the Editor of The Bee: I wish to thank Mr. R. C. Edmondson, for the kind sentiments expressed by him concerning my writing "The History of Ethiopia in Rhyme," and as to where I obtained the data, on which to base the poem. The gentleman states that "I am unable to find mention in my encyclopedias of some of the notables named by him." I wish to thank Mr. R. C. Edmonds expressed by him concerning my writing in Rhyme," and as to where I obtained the poem. The gentleman states that "I am encyclopedias of some of the notables I judge, that the encyclopedias are T. B. written for the white people by white people. I should suggest that he add eight to his list of encyclopedias "The Encyclopedia of the Negro," by our own and Daniel Murray. The following books name would help him greatly: "The Holy Bible," Peter Parley's "Universal History," Pennock-Goldsmith's, "Greece and Rome," "Africa, and the Negro," J. W. E. Bowch; "The Negro Year Book," by Mr. Work of Tuskegee; "History of the Negro," B. G. Brawley; "Unwritten History," Bishop L. J. Coppin; "The Story of the Negro," Booker T. Washington, not forgetting the recent publications of Professors Kelly Miller and Emmett J. Scott. I suggest also that he read the colored weeklies, monthly periodicals, magazines, and the like, and the magazine section of the Sunday papers. That's where. I got the data about "lost Cyrene to light didst come." Matters not how much one may read Mr. Edmondson, if one does not think while reading and mentally digest the same and store it away, the same as a squirrel stores nuts for the time of need, reading is in vain. Personally, I took advantage of every item of news I got in my hand. For instance, I bought and have before he at this writing, a copy of Harry CRIMINAL IMPROPRIETY.

They are slower to adopt the full measure of indecency, but each season finds them "conservatively" following at a respectful distance, so that the modes for decent women today were the extremes of indecency a few short seasons back. Why do they do it? It is a poor explanation to declare that they thus become more attractive to men. If they are honest with themselves they know very well that the sort of attraction thus engendered makes the lowest possible appeal. If they are honest with themselves they know very well that masculine taste in such matters is absolutely in the hands of women, that the standards they set is the standard which will inevitably be adopted. It has been said that every country gets the women it deserves, but rather would we say that every woman gets the sort of attention she deserves. Intelligent women know this, no matter what their argument to the con- But the women who are going to these disgusting and revolting extremes are not intelligent. Man may be vile, but he also has perception. Observe the women in any public ballroom today—those who expose the most have what is least worthy of exposure. These lewed revelations are certainly not in the cause of beauty. It is the fat and podgy or the lean and bony female, for the most part, one who has neither natural, physical or mental attraction, that resorts to this means of commanding attention. She makes one appeal, and only one, and that to the very lowest instincts of masculine human nature. No matter how she may deceive herself to the contrary, she is deliberately catering to the animal passion of men. Beautiful and charming women of mind and character do not feel this urge to trade upon their "private charms." But the unintelligent and dubious female is invariably the one to make a bid for the only sort of attention she can hope to inspire. Theodore Maynard, now lecturing before the Women's Clubs upon the "Imminent Break-up of Civilization," defined civilization as that condition of a people founded upon justice and honor. It is not a question of brilliant inventions, of motor cars, telephones, magnificent hotels, luxury and comfort. It is essentially a state of refinement, culture and HONOR. "I could not love thee, dear, so well, loved I not honor more." HILL TOP; CHARLES COUNTY, MARYLAND. Sunday, September 18th, was a grand festival of good things for the spiritual mind at Zion Baptist Church here. The pastor, Rev. E. Thomas Broadus, baptized on Saturday afternoon previous six candidates. They were those who were converted at our August revival under the preaching of the Rev. Charles P. Pratt, pastor the Pilgrim Baptist Church, King George, County, Va. Rev. Pratt, is an excellent Gospel preacher. He believes in the New Testament and its teachings. All of it, not a part of it, backed up by the eagle-eyed prophet, --- 1. Burleigh's name is Burleigh. On the front cover is the name of eighteen international singers, all white. Read the lines in "Ethiopia" and see if I don't mention these names. I got the information from various sources. In reference to the sending me "the names of famous Africans, thought to have been omitted," allow me to state that I do not expect to add any lines to the poem until it appears in book form In preparing the additions after the book shall have been published, I should be very glad to have all data that could be sent to me as you suggest. Let this be an example: "Ashur the grandson of Noah, was the first Ruler of Assyria, 2229, B. C. He builded the city of Nineveh and surrounded it with walls, one hundred feet high." In the northern part of Africa, Charthage, was founded by Dido; a Phonician. They were the first maritime people of the world. From there came Hannibal, who thundered at the gates of Rome. The Phonicians were "Canaanites," descendants of Canaan, who was the fourth son of Ham. See how that would help me? Thank you, REV. J. LUTHER MARTIN. from last week.)

Dr. Pratt will do honor to any pulpit as a Christian preacher. He comes to help the pastor, and not to fill his church with a lot of dry-eyed sinners, then abuse the old saints because they cannot help him shake hands and reap dollars for leaves. He indeed is the right type of a gospel preacher to help build up with live stones in God's building. We highly recommend him to the brotherhood. May he live long in this simple way, without abusing either saint or sinner to preach. We had a large gathering. The pastor preached at 11 o'clock. Many were heard to say: "Did not our hearts burn while the words of wisdom drove the truth to our hearts?" Many from the city were among them being Deacon J. H. Shears and son Harry; Deacon Thos. G.

He was highly entertained by Deacon George Warren and wife, Rev. Yancy Warren and wife, Deacon Charles Ross and wife, Deacon John F.

Saunders and Brother Alexander Saunders, Deacon Silas Marshall and wife. These good people know how to take care of a tired and much-worked pastor. With a few exceptions, these are all prosperous farm owners with splendid homes. This church is undergoing extensive improvements. A large belfry has been added, and a new metal roof, and a giant bell installed, for all of which there is ample money in the treasury to pay for. We hope to commence our fall revival the third Sunday in ophet. TO IMPROVE YOUR HAIR Use Quinade Quinade is a medicated pomade scientifically compounded under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist. It contains ingredients which stimulate the scalp and are calculated to improve and beautify the hair. Quinade is delightfully perfumed, it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp. It is an elegant hair dressing and will tend to soften harsh hair, making it more pliable and easy to put up in any style its length will permit. To get best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be thoroughly washed every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap, a delightful shampoo. Quinasoap is made with a rich, creamy father, so desirable in a shampoo. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled in other shampoos. Insat on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. If your dealer can not supply them we will send them to you on receipt of price, which is 35 cents for the Quinade and 25 cents for the Quinasoap. Seeby Drug Co., 10 Greene street, New York City.

EVENING CLASSES AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Pave Way for Establishment of a Summer School. Howard University, in keeping with its new program of rendering the greatest possible service as a National University for the training of colored youth, last year at the beginning of the winter quarter, January 4, 1921, inaugurated a system of evening classes, with Prof. William J. Bauduit as director. These evening classes are of full college grade, and yield the usual credits toward the various academic degrees conferred by the university. They are being taught by the regular university instructors, and exact the same requirements and maintain the same standards as the day classes. To the ambitious, self-supporting student who is unable to attended classes during the day, the Howard University now offers the exceptional opportunity of securing a college education through evening instruction. There are some people who look askance at evening academic work; but whatever prejudice has existed up to the present against it seems due in part to caste consciousness of the individuals as well as the supposedly loose standards of the evening schools. With the general spread of democratic ideas and the application of the same requirements and standards to both day and evening work, this prejudice is dying out, and the evening school is coming into its own as a powerful factor in our social and educational scheme. Many of our greatest colleges and universities now offer evening work, with full credit toward the usual degrees. Among these institutions are the University of Chicago, the Carnegie Institute of Technology, the College of the City of New Yorkk. the Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pittsburgh and Harvard University. The U. S. Bureau of Education is now engaged in making a survey of the present status of evening instruction, the immediate supervision of the work being in the hands of Dr. Frederick B. Robinson, Dean of the College of the City of New York According to former U. S. Commissioner Claxton, "one of the great services which can be rendered the nation through education will be the establishment of a thoroughly coordinated evening instruction, which will enable a person who drops his education by day to continue that education at night." the work of the evening classes at Howard University has thus far been quite satisfactory and successful. Courses have been taken by school teachers, school principals, government employees, lawyers, college graduates and others. Some of these students are pursuing the regular four-year course leading to the bac- --- Though it is young in history, the Institution feels a just pride in the work thus far accomplished, for its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to train men and women for useful citizenship.

SHEPARD, DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA calaureate degree; others are merely becoming acquainted with some particular subject or keeping in touch with the academic life for purposes of general culture; while still others are obtaining a special preparation which they must have in order to qualify for some specific position. The work has been regular and thorough, the standards high, and the students and instructors enthusiastic. The evening classes at Howard undoubtedly mark a clear and distinct extension of the usefulness and influence of the university. It is very likely that this movement will soon be followed and supplemented by another with similar potentialities for good, for the establishment of a summer school at Howard University for collegiate instruction now seems practically assured for next year. HOWARD PREPARES FOR ITS FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON. The Howard football squad has had its first week of workouts. The rigorous training which the men underwent the first week has driven off all undesirables, and has left a squad which gives Coach Morrison an indication of just what he may expect for the year. At present the coach is noncommittal as to what he thinks of the prospects. The big problem seems to be the replacing of the men lost by graduation. While most of the remaining H men of last year have returned, still the absence of Carter, last year's star pilot, who is yet expected to return; Brannon, Hurt and Lawrence is keenly felt. Kean, who followed close to Carter at quarterback last year, has just showed up for practice. Practice will take an earnest angle the coming week, in preparation for the first game of the season, to be played October 8, at Lynchburg, Va., against Virginia Theological Seminary and College. ASK PRESIDENT HARDING FOR PROBE OF KU KLUX KLAN. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, today made public a telegram sent to President Harding asking for federal investigation, followed if necessary by congressional action on the "commercialized race hatred" represented by the Ku Klux Klan. The text of the telegram is as follows: September 29, 1921. President Warren G. Harding, White House, Wash., D. C. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in behalf of 12,000,000 colored Americans, desires to add its voice to those already asking your endorsement of a thorough federal investigation, followed if necessary by congressional action, on the menace of commercialized race hatred as represented by the Ku Klux Klan. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People bases this request upon its own information about the Ku Klux Klan which has been placed in the hands of public officials, and By all means read this series of humorous short stories by Aubrey Bowser, author of "The Man Who Would Be White."

Don't let the idea die. Such a move right now would be seasonable. The time is ripe, and efforts in that direction would be very laudable. Make a start, relieve the situation and save those parents the extra expense who are forced to send their children to the city for that purpose.

SOCIAL SERVICE. By E. V. C. W. wliams. If the instruction of the Master Teacher were taught all the people, in every walk of life, every social problem, the race question, industrial questions, social purity, social hygiene, alcohol, drugs, nicotine and child welfare, would be quickly solved. "Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock." "You are responsible, not for yourself simply, but you are responsible for all whom you may touch helpfully. You cannot be a Christian and simply look after yourself. You have got to look after the other fellow as well. You must do so, because it is your duty. You have been appointed to this high office by God Himself." Let each one do all he can to better the family life in his respective community, where needed. Stressing parental responsibility, the family altar and better housing conditions. C-operate with us in our activities to strengthen the character of the girl, who has not yielded to temptation, as well as the girl who yielded and repented. Both classes require the watchful eye of the Christian social worker. The woman who was brought before the highest tribunal and accused by men was most tenderly treated and shielded from stoning by the Master. She was helped by Him in her need, and was told: "Neither do I condemn thee; go thy way; from henceforth sin no more." This is the work of every Christian—take the delinquent, neglected girl and boy from the wicked throng and teach him the higher, truer and better way. That we are in the midst of a period of social rebuilding no one will deny. Unconsciously, inevitably, we are going to build something. What kind of a building shall it be? One constructed by Christian leadership or otherwise? *** Why is there not some agency around the outside of our theatres to prevent teen, and younger girls, from loitering. It is a deplorable sight, to observe them pulling at the boys and the boys pulling at them. They should be required to enter the building promptly, or sent home to their mothers. *** The real controversies of the day are not speculative; they are terribly practical. No one will doubt for a minute the far-reaching possibilities of this social awakening; the future character of civilization, and the destiny of the human race are involved in it. The whole question as to whether it shall be a blessing to the world or a curse is one of leadership. Who shall give direction to this gigantic movement? The church or the world? *** Build upon resolve—not upon regret— The structure of thy future. Do not grope Among the shadows of old sins, but let Thy soul's own light shine upon the path of hope, And dissipate the darkness. Waste no tears Upon blotted record of past years, But turn the page, and smile—Oh! smile to see The fair white pages that remain to thee! AN OPEN LETTER. Washington, D. C., Sept. 25. The Rt. Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D. Presiding Elder J. A. Briscoe, Potomac District. All the pastors of the Potomac District. To the Revs. Doctors P. J. Jordan, A. L. Gaines, C. M. Tanner, J. R. Nelson, Charles E. Stewart, M. H. Davis, Thaddeus Copeland and D. G. Hill, Trustees of the Baltimore Annual Conference, the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Respected Divines and Brethren: The undersigned having been made a Trustee of Turner Memorial A. M. E. Church, 5th and P Streets Northwest, Washington, D. C., respectfully begs leave to relate to you in the public press the needs of Turner, and a suggestion as to how these needs could be met, and as to how your influence thrown to the cause of Turner would immediately right her wrongs. This, backed unreservedly by the Conference, could be made one of the most influential of the smaller churches of the District. The location is ideal. It is in the midst of an intelligent colored population, and most of them churchgoers, and of such a chaste disposition that they do not wish to be embroiled in a matter that seemingly cannot, be adjusted. Never since I have been working in the Church of God have I seen a church that has been compelled to contend with the things which have been thrust upon Turner, and more difficult problems to meet. The present pastor, Rev. J. C. McEaddy, has had to fight every inch of the ground to hold up "The Banner of the Cross" and "The Standard of Allen" on this corner. One of less experience, and who was less devoted to "The Cause of Christ" and the A. M. E. Church, would not have stood what your fellow-minister, Rev. McEaddy, has stood. Pastors of This District! Are you going to rally to the aid of one of your own when he is in trouble? We are aware that you will be with us in the rally next month, but what we need and need badly, is your sympathy, publicly expressed, and your unreserved moral influence. Give us this and we will fight our own battles! Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with Rev. McEaddy and make his cause a common cause? If one has defied the church, held in open defiance, church property against all the laws of justice and Christianity? If one has used his influence to lower the attendance of Turner; to influence her members, and proposes to Furniture ON CREDIT Any Reliable Person Can Open a Charge Account Here Keep your credit good with us and you have the means for making your home beautiful and comfortable.

In an under circumstance, the promotion of the man who has done what he could against Turner, would not such actions on the part of whomsoever it may be, sanction his actions and show to the church, that by having him to preach the Gospel of "Peace, Love, Faith, Hope and Charity," virtually say "he hath done no wrong?" It is not for the writer to try to WORKINGMEN it cannot be promised that "Bargains" are to stay at the price you pay today may be more or less tomorrow, all according to the lucky star that you were born under, but when you buy pants here your dad can buy Saturday at same price $2.00, $3.00, and $5.00 control any one's pulpit, but he is a trustee at Turner and has made up his mind to fight for Turner, and to leave no stone unturned to help her in any manner in which he can: Yet the writer holds that as hard pressed as Turner is now, that the seeking of a man who has never preached a sermon in Turner since he was relieved of the pastorate of Turner, and to make matters worse, has been an occupant of the parsonage next door to this day. I hold that the promotion of this gentleman is giving him prestige with the people, and absolutely condones his actions. How can Turner thrive when the influence which should be Turner's is thrown toward those who have gloried in the fact that Turner could dispossess them? Brethren! Are we not "All one in Christ?" Are we not the followers of Allen? Can we not as of old like Allen at the blacksmith shop, when another church decided that they would take us back if necessary with force of arms, did not Allen at Sixth and Lombard Streets, Philadelphia, "arm himself for the fray," and if, must needs be, shed his blood for God and Bethel? We his children have been left a glorious heritage, viz.: The African Methodist Episcopal Church. Will not the whole Conference rise as one man, to save a church which bears the name of our fearless bishop, Turner? "The half has not been told," but recorded here is enough for you to see that we are calling, "Come over into Macedonia and help us!" Will you heed the call? "The Victory May Depend on You." J.
