ALLEN CHAPEL NOTES.

The services of Allen Chapel last
Sunday were of an unusually high or
der. We were favored with the pres
ence Of Americas greatest pulpiteer,
DR.. r. C. Ransom, editor of the Re-
view, New York, who preached both
morning and evening. Music by Prof.
Jackson was especially good. We
we're again favored with a magnificent
solo by Miss Margaret Jackson, the
noted soloist, and by request she gave
as an encore in her own matchless
style, 'Fear Not, o Israel. At night
large congregation was present,
among whom were many white people
all of whom seemed spell bound with
the eloquence of DR.. Ransom.

deepest, most subtle, most essential
breach of neutrality which may spring
out of partisianship, out Of passionate
ly taking sides" Mr.. Wilson precedes
this with an observation that the
American nation can fifty exhibit the
fine poise of undisturbed judgment,
the dignity of self control, efficiency
of dispassionate action; nation that
neither sits in judgment upon others
nor is disturbed in its own counsel
and which keeps itself fit and free to
do what is honest and disinterested
and truly serviceable for the peace
of the world" The sentiment here
expressed is beautiful The language
Jumped and pure; the patriotism un-
deniably great and does credit to the
one time school master at Princeton.
On another previous occasion the
same voice gave expression to some
more noble and beautiful words, this
however, was when the present presi-
dent was only a nominee. 1t was on
October 16, 1912. He said: Should I
become president of the United States,
they (the colored people,, may count
upon me for absolute fair dealing and
for everything by which could assist
in advancing the interests of their
race in the United States" This cen
tleman did become president of the
United States and in contradiction of
the beautiful words above, the colored
people could not count on him for any
assistance at all 'in advancing the in
terests of their race when the new
administration segregation and Jim
crowed the government employees righ'
under mis- immediate observation with
apparently his approval Then beauti-
full words or sentiments lose their
charm when not chrystalized by sin
cere action at the critical moment.
America has proven false to the Negro
all along. 1t was so in the Revolu-
tionary war. 1t was so in the Civil
war. 1t was so in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. Now will Russia be true to
the Jews? Will France maintain her
generous attitude toward her millions
of native Africans? VIII England give
India her real liberty? This remains
to be seen and must blindly grope
from darkness for this is the revela.

MASON SAVES so LIVES.

Ostend, Sept. 23-The power of
free masonary is illustrated by a
story told here by a citizen of Lou
vain, who, with the Masonic sign, says
he saved fifty of his fellow citizens
from being shot to death by German
troops.
This group of citizens, according to
the recital of the Belgian Mason, had
been lined up for execution. The Ger
man firing party had their rifles at
present arms" when the narrator
gave a Masonic sign. The German Of
ficers commanding the firing squad
happened to belong to the craft. He
recognized brother Mason and or
dered the Louvain Free Mason to
leave the ranks. This meant sparing
his life. The Louvain citizen, how.
ever. refused. saying: my fellow citi
zens are no more guilty than l am. II
you are going to kill them, shall be
killed with them" The German officer
thereupon ordered the release of the
entire party.

To the Editor: l am q reader of
The Sun and would not do without it.
l would like to ask through your col
umns if the social clubs are organized
for the sole purpose Of entertaining
the men. was under the impression
that the clubs were for the ibetterment
of our women along educational and
artistic lines. I have heard a great
deal about some of the clubs and have
wondered If the women have to do
all of the entertaining without any
effort on the part Of the men. If so,
1t is no wonder as we women like
sociability. But there is something
vastly wrong somewhere. It seems
that If the young women get any at
tention from the young men, they must
run after them. Now live in a neigh
borhood with several society girls all
of whom claim number of admirers,
but they never have a caller in the
day and Sunday is not an exception,
nor do they take the girls out. They
go out by themselves, but always re-
turn with a young man. Where do
they get them? Are they picked up
at some church, drug store or nickel
show? l have heard one of them say
that if they didn't run after the men
and do as they like, they would never
get a husband. would like to know
if this is the kind of girl our young
men marry. mean who amount to
something. One of our doctors was
heard to remark that there were a
very few really respectable girls
among the society girls Of Kansas
City, but that there were a lot Of
beauties. Being single man, won
der IL he would marry one of the
Beauties" or seek out and marry a
girl Of virtuous character to be the
mother of his children. The men pre-
tend that virtue means more than fine
clothes, but 1t seems that our young
women must sacrifice the former in
order to obtain the latter, In order to
get the better class of young men for
husbands. would like to hear some
one else express their views on this
subject.
