RESOLUTIONS FROM ALLEN
CHAPEL uSHER'S BOARD.


Whereas, the Grim Reaper has Wis
tied our Usher's Board, and with his
scythe cut down one of our dutiful
and active members; and,
Whereas, our hearts are made sad,
by this sudden transition, and we
are made to feel that life is such
brief span after all, and that it must
be happy death to him who dies at
his post of duty with his armor on;
and,
Whereas, his life of usefulness
should be an inspiration to other
young men of our Church, and more
particularly, of the Usher's Board;
and,
Whereas, our sympathy goes out to
the bereaved widow in this her hour
OF sadness, and as the shadow of
life lengthens may her grief be as
suaged,
Be it resolved, that copy of these
resolutions be sent for publication
to the Kansas City Sun and the
Western Christian Recorder,
Be it further resolved. that a copy
be sent TO the bereaved widow, and
copy be spread upon the minutes
of the Ushers' Board. Sorrowfully
submitted, w. c. HUESTON.

MASONIC.

Mrs. Alice o. Jones, Past Grand
Most Ancient Matron of the Grand
Court, H. of j., is the author of a
juvenile ritual and handbook which
she will use in establishing "Circles"
among the children of the Masonic
family.
The little booklet is gotten up with
great credit, following somewhat in
the style and verbiage of the Heroines
ritual and is simply adapted to it's in
tended use.
The idea of affiliating the Masonic
children is not a bad one by any
means and ought to meet with no op-
position among the adult members Of
the order. OF course it would not
follow that each child taken into the
juvenile department would later by
any irregular steps, be admitted in
the lodges or courts; but the
training in the youthful order would
no doubt serve as an inspiration for
the higher work when the proper age
and opportunity have been reached.
The boys would have decided ad-
vantage over the girls in this, too, for
the reason that the adult female or
ganizations require the qualification
of relationship while the male de-
partments do not.
The idea of Mrs. Jones embraces
system of financial benefits which
should also appeal to parents to say
nothing of the moral and spiritual,
perhaps social, advantages embraced
in the scheme.
The plan is to be offered at the
session Of the Grand Court to be held
this month and the friends of the
authoress are already assuring their
cooperation in its adoption. Sister
Jones will doubtless thereafter be
hailed as Mother" Jones and will de
vote the full measure of her time in
spreading her new order Throughout
the country.

MOTHERS DAY

The idea of a National Memorial
Day on which all persons, irrespec-
tive of race or creed may honor
the living mother and recall the
blessed memories of mothers that
are gone, was conceived by Miss
Anne Jarvis of 2U51 North Twelfth
street, Philadelphia. Her original
idea embraced the simultaneous
observance in every part of the
world of the love and reverence
which all men and women owe
their mothers. The carnation was
especially chosen because of its
whiteness, which stands for purity:
Its form and fragrance, represent
ing beauty and love; it's wide field
of growth and lasting qualities,
symbolizlng charity and faithful
ness-all a true mothers virtues
The purpose of this international
honor to Mother has been in
aprsed by leading men in the polit-
fcal and religious life of the world
by lodges, societies, churches and
schools. The special tribute asked
on that day is some act of Kindness

The Negro and
Metropolitan Life
improvement in Our Daily Customs.
(By Charles A. Starks)


(By Charles A. Starks.)
A city has a right to be called
Metropolitan in so far as it demon
strates its ability to adequately sup
ply the demands of an ever-evolving
population. Citizens only show them
selves worthy of the blessings of a
high proof regime in so far as they
create and maintain this oout of their
own industry and a close practice
of manners and customs which aid
to preserve this order and beauty.
This high standard need not be low
cred to let the Negro in on the ground
floor. He, like others, can, and must
meet the demands-of this high civil
ization which seemingly requires man.
kind to live in cities with popula-
tion so great that the compactness
of humanity has been correctly liken-
ed unto sardines in box with breath
ing space at a premium. So to live
the true Metropolitan life it is well to
consider some of the little things that
contribute largely to law and4 order
in well settled city and helps so
much to promote common under
standing among all.
Department on Street Cars.
Ordinarily the introduction of so
common utility as the street car
and it's proper use would seem un-
necessary but nothing is more import
ant than this phase of city life, as it
is the general conveyance of the
mass of workers and toilers who must
change their geographical position in
the city at least twice a day. So as
each citizen realizes this absolute
necessity of mingling daily with mot
always) a homogeneous mass" and
brushing shoulders and sustaining
jolts, he or she should qualify in mind
to always do the part which is best
calculated to facilitate traffic and
make transportation as pleasant and
agreeable as possible. The street
cars are for all, hence every patron
has an individual responsibility in
making its usefulness all-sufficient.
Our people are reasonably up on de-
pertinent when riding on the cars,
though some have not yet learned
how to "deport" themselves. An Of
tensiye loudness seems to character
ize these persons which is even en-
barrassing to their friends when they
practice it in their presence. AS
rule it is some elderly person with
lusty lungs who is the offender. Just
why Sister Jones who is seated in
the rear of the car attempts to hold
conversation with Sister Johnson,
who is half reclining up near the
front is incomprehensible. Or to be
fair, it is not all together clear why
certain class of laborers and some
times professional men choose to air
their business before others who are
disinterested and only pray that they
may be spared intrusion from an un-
warranted loudness. The fact that
this disturbing element by no means
comes exclusively from the Negro
quarter does not justify it. Loudness
is a badge of inferiority anywhere;
let it be practiced by whom it may,
and is not in comport with the higher
demand of Metropolitan life which
says: Every citizen must show an
appreciation of good common sense

Why GOO lllOOD IS RED

Why are We continually being told thaa
good blood must he bright red? What
has color to do with the quality?
Just this. Tho oxygen In the air the
great supporter OF animal LIE One bus
ness OF the blood is to take oxygen from
the air (which it meets in the lungs} and
deliver it to the tissues of the body
When the blood, filed with life-susknin-
ing oxygen, is sent out by the heart i'd -
bright red. When it returns, filed with
impurities, and deprived OF its oxygen, il
is dark.
From this it il clear that there are two
prime requisites of health, pure air and
bright red blood-the pure air to furnish
the oxygen, the rich blood to carry il
where il is needed. Dr. Wflliams' Pink
Pills make the blood rich and red because
they increase its power to carry oxygen,
actually making it so much more able
to carry increased lie and strength to
every organ of the body Try these tonic
pills and note the increased color in
cheeks and lips; see how your nerves be-
come steadier, you appetite better, your
digestion stronger, your step quicker,
your troubles lighter.
