"A LIE Nailed"

A few days ago an article was 60
ing the rounds of the white press stat
ing that Admiral Dewey and the Off
GERS of his ship, which was sent to San
Domingo by the government, refused
to land when they learned that Min
lister Alex Powell, the representative
of this government there, was an Afro
American, because they would by all
rules of etiquette have to accept OF
social courtesies at his hands. 1t
struck us at the time as. being utterly
impossible to be true, but we could
not doubt the evidence of what our
own eyes saw printed. Well, what
we thought and said about that time
would not appear very well in print,
and would not be very complimentary
to Admiral Dewey. The daily press OF
March 9th published statement In
which Admiral Dewey denies that the
refusal to land was because .of any
fear of association with Minister Pow
ell. We are very glad the denial is
made, for we would hate to. think it
possible for any man to be possessed
of the qualifications, natural and &C.
uuired, which must necessarily be his
to enable him to reach the pinnacle
which Admiral Dewey occupies and at
the same time be governed by a soul
so infinitesimally small. We don't
know how such story as the first
could have been started without some
sort of foundation, but we do know
that we are heartily glad it has been
authoritively denied.

Color prejudice, which had it's origin

grown wonderfully, so that now it is
found almost everywhere. The idea
that a black man has no rights which

fonud to exist in many places. Why,
over in Australia Major Taylor, the
worlds greatest bicyclist, was out
rageously treated at the recent inter-
national races just because he is black,
and now they have decided to not
allow their mail to be carried on YES
sells that employ black seamen. In
johannesburg, Africa, mind you, the
commissioner of police, yielding to the
pressure of public opinion, has pro-
hibited black people from using the
sidewalks. And because the natives
of the district of Okahundja treated
their German oppressors to some OF
their own medicine they are filled with
rage and determine to kill everything
black.

Immortality

"Sleep of the Soul" Huxley's END

the Dark" show the same doubt and
scepticism among modern secular phil
losophers. &>,* j. l. \
And this, then, is the uniQueness
and the glory of the Easter message:
1t meets fact with fact. It proclaims
with a trumpet that rends the uni
versal air: Christ has risen! The
Son of God has burst the bars of the
grave! The king of terrors is dis
crowned! Jesus hath abolished death
and brought life and immortality to
light" This all men feel to be the
most blessed and significant fact OF
history. 1t is the cornerstone OF
Christianity. Well may Renan admit
that this Easter message has revo-
lutionized the world. Naturally and
rightfully, thinking men everywhere
rose up and questioned it's credibility.
But Christ would have risen in vain
had not the resurrection been salts
factorily attested. And so the Church
formulated the evidence, and little by
little the world came to accept the
Easter miracle as an indisputable his
torical fact. And then the nightmare
of ages lifted. The Sun Of immortal
ity rose to the zenith. A great in
spiration uplifted humanity. The
foodgates of history were reversed.
Religion was transfused with hope
and gladness. Literature took on sun
nier moods. Art bloomed with love,
lier forms. Cemeteries lost their hor-
ror and became peaceful couches
where the loved pilgrims slept the
"sleep beautiful" to be wakened by
the joyful trump of endless life. The
race had undergone new creation.
The resurrection of Jesus is thus a
demonstration of Immortality. And
of our personal Immortality. For, as
He was made man for us, so we tri.

mortality and Resurrection-were
ever such twin truths heralded as
these? And not without divine m
spiration has the blessed Eastertide
been fixed by the Church at the sea
son when the earth shakes off her
winters sleep; when the birds come
back and the flowers begin to bloom;
when every seed that falls into the
ground and dies, and rises again with
new body, is witness to us of the
resurrection of Christ, and witness
to us of the resurrection of Christ,
and witness to us that some day life
shall conquer death, light conquer
darkness and JOY conquer grief in that
realm of immortal being where there
shall be no. more death, neither sor-
row, nor crying, neither shall there be
any more pain; for the former things
are passed away" (Rev. xxi, a..
Fortified, then, with this assuring
Easter faith, let us, when our sum-
mons comes to quit these mortal
shores, make response with the tran.
quill mind of the Christian poet Ten
nyson:
Sunset and evening star!
And one clear call for me.
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When put out to sea-
For though from out our bourne Of
time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE.


The famous Alton School case has
been decided against the Afro-Amer.
lean. The board of education several
years ago built a special school Tor
Afro-Americans. Scott Bibb and a
number of others refused to send their
children there and attempted to send
them to the nearest public school
The superintendent of schools refused
to permit this and suit for manda'
mus was brought in Bibbs' name
against the officials.
The suit has been to the appellate
and supreme courts number of times
and has been reversed and remanded
upon various points each time. An
appeal will be taken to the state su'
preme court.
Money will be needed to make the
fight and the Afro-Americans Of ILL
nois ought to furnish it.
The Appeal will give $40 to start the
fund. How much will you give, kind
reader?

The philosophical argument, based
upon the indestructibility of any SIM
pie entity, has also been resorted to.
On this ground Plato held that 1.-The
soul was imperishable and immortal"
And Kant, the intellectual giant of
modern times, deduced the same re-
suit from the voice of conscience,
which he called the 'Practical Rea-
son. The ethical argument, drawn
from the incompleteness and Unequal
ity and injustice of this stage of be-
ing, has also been adduced.
And even science is not without its
proof. For Professor TAFT, in his
"Treatise on the Unseen Universe"
shows that the modern discovery OF
the conservation of force-that no
particle of force amid all changes is
ever lost, indicates the indissoluble
nature of the soul. So the indestruc-
tibility of matter and the mystery Of
sleep, twin sister of DEATH" bring
further corroborative proofs.
