er before enacted against thrifty and
law abiding class Of American citizens.
Never before has color disfranchise-
ment been practiced in northern states
as is true of the happenings recorded
since Jan. !, 1915.
For the first time also the col0red
nation Of the western hemisphere loses
its full independence through eur
United States. Haiti is being almost
smothered up under the guise Of pro
tectorate. The worlds most extensive
and terrible war is waging over Eu-
rope, with African and Indian soldiers
taking gallant part. Meanwhile for
the first time in fifty years this cOun-
try feels that war with outsiders IL

thereby giving colored citizens the first
opportunity to press for concession of
civil rights.
Despite this situation, there has this
year been no national gathering of
colored Americans to deliberate and
speak upon these matters. Is there
any other civilized racial element of
equal size which would not be nation
ally organized for self defense? Is
it creditable to US as race not to
assemble In national convention right
away to consider and speak the senti-
ments of our own element as Ameri-
can citizens? Surely the crisis de-
mands such a national gathering.
The only organization the race has Of
its own along this line is the NatioHat
Independence Equal Rights league.
This body is now free from partisan
politics and is aggressive. On its poll
cies all can come in with full standing.
Its annual meeting will be held the last
week of September VIII the colored
American people make it truly ma
tional equal rights race assembly on
equality of citizenship? They should
do so. The invitation is here extend
ed freely to individuals and to secular
and religious organizations to unite
with the league in the coming meeting.

business changes and in spite Of the
fact that the home mission work was
operated from another state and city
this past year. the report shows an in
crease Of many thousands of dollars.
This was the result of an increase in
the circulation Of the Sunday school
literature in many states where the
literature had not been used hereto
fore.
Some Of the facts contained in the
report show that from 1897 to 1915
$2.3O6 1Ol6S has been collected and
expended in the operation OF the plant
and that 1886 794.3 .339 periodicals have
been written. printed aud sent out to
the members of the denomination
throughout the civilized world. while
letters to the number of 3.6S4. 149 have
been written and sent out signed by
the secretary OF the publishing board.
The secretary further shows in his re-
port work done by the quarter-that is.
for every three months OF the past fis-
cal year. and that the operations OF the
plant this year reached the sum total
OF S16O. 1883. which is the largest re-

tary Boyd further shows in this report
the extension work during the past
year. giving special mention to the
facts concerning the location Of the
plant, the reports on buildings. the
machinery. the office of the assistant
secretary. the periodical department.

and winding up with the extensive
view OF the editorial work and the ex-
tension department. which includes the
Sunday School, congress. The report
further contains the story of the con

mingham (Ala) meeting OF this year.
Or. c. Fl. Clark is the chairman Of
the board and has served in that ca-
pacity since its organization as has the
secretary. They employ over $50 mem.
