Mr.. Editor
Please allow me space in your
paper to express my thanks and ap-
probation to my friends who have
so readily and faithfully helped me
during my long sickness. Brother

full in administering 20 my needs
since l have been sick. These sisters
are members of the First Baptist
Church. / shall continue to pray
that the choicest blessings of an
all-wise Providence shall continue
TO be with them, and that they may
continue to do much good among the
needy, and when they are called
from labor to reward, may they be
as faithful servants, welcomed to
their Masters joy.

The COlored American Magazine for
March,

The Colored American Magazine
has made it's appearance for March
just as brilliant, just as strong, just
as pleasing as ever. This issue is
really a magazine work. There are
articles on THE Unity of the Races"
1.-The War in the Far East" Negro
Football Players" written by men
who have studied these questions
The article on 1.-The Unity of Races"
is bound to attract a great deal of
attention. Every one should read
it.
There is a poem by Bertram John
son, and short story by Gertrude
Brown. The editorial page has
heightened out, and is especially
strong, Frederick Douglass" and
"a New Poet" being perhaps the
best. 1.-The Way of the World is a
fine review of the events of the
month. A prominent white editor
wrote:-"Who is making up that
colored magazine colored MANI"
Yes. S1.00 the year; 10 cents the
copy. News stand, or corner Pearl
and Cedar streets, New York.

Special Services at the 9TH Street
Baptist Church.

The eyes of the world are now
centered upon that wonderful little
people, the Japanese nation. 1t is
conceded that for strength of char
acter, military genius and mental
ability, the Japanese, though a dark
race, are able to cope with the
greatest nations of the earth; it will
therefore be very interesting to-mor-
row at $3.50 p. M. to hear a disting-
uished member of that race preach
at the 5th st. Baptist Church. All
who have heard the Rev. V. K. Sa-
saruka pronounce him a very able
divine. Let the public turn out and
hear him.
On the third Sunday in this month
at $3.50 p. M. there VIII be a great
missionary mass meeting, at which
time Secretary l.. G.. Jordan, d. D.,
of the National Baptist Convention
will speak to the citizens of Rich
mond. He will have a great deal
of information on his three months
stay in Africa last summer. This
meeting will be a popular one and
