The Antiquarian supper on Tuesday
seveing was we'll attended and was an
enjoyable affair. The tableaux was
very amusing and the supper was pro-
fuse in variety and quantity. The
quaint costumes of the ladies, which
in some cases had been worn by the
grandmothers of the wearers excited
a good deal of interest and amuse-
ment. The exercises of the evening
ended with a pleasant little dance, in
which old and young, church deacons
and all, joined. Everybody seemed to
forget to be serious and went in for a
pleasant time. The proceeds, which
are to be appropriated towards buy

And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His MOTHERHOOD bless her!-cried;
Yet, blessed with a mother-nature,
She wept with a mother-pride.

What We Are Doing in Modern
History.

Modern History, as you all know, IS
not an easy subject. You see first OF
all we must get our lessons every day,
because our class waits for no one.
Then there are note books IN when
we outline our work and also our work
in current events. Current events must
be studied because history never stops
happening.
We divide modern history into
three different divisions. The first dl-
vision comprises the Latin Christen-
dom from Charlesmagne to Luther.
The next division is the period of mon
archie states from 1520-1789. This div
ision takes in the Protestant reforma-
ton and the growth of the great
states up to the beginning OF the
French Revolution. The last division
is the age of Nation states in which
we study all of the nations up to the
present time.
Our note book is probably most ben
eficial to us because it fixes the events
in our minds. These books contain an
outline of all the work we have cover
ed up to date. They also contain maps
so that the location of the cities and
countries which we have studied will
be clear. These notebooks are collect
ed and corrected every six weeks.
Current events occupy part of the
class period every Friday. 1t is then
we are held responsible for what has
happened during the week in our

on a morning like that; at this time of

1t was a very bright March morn

been skating for half an hour when
he called to me. I knew that in few
days skating would be thing of the
past. This made me decide so quick

R.R. Church, IT,, Con-
dennis Lynching.

Memphis, Tenn. July 2-What was
record breaking meeting of the
famous Lincoln Republic League was
held at Church's Auditorium Friday
night, June 49, The largest political
organization among colored people In
the country, the Lincoln League is the
rallying point of fifty thousand Ne
groes in Memphis and all the Negroes
in west Tennessee.
The first time the League had met
since the burning Of Ell Persons, and
the beginning of the exodus Of the
Negro from this city and section,
more than 5000 people packed them
selves in the Auditorium, while hun
dreds were turned away.
No organized condemnation of law
lessness had been heard; no word Of
advice had been forthcoming for the
leadership, and no speech of hope and
courage had been uttered. And the
people said that their cup was running
over.
The pent-up feeling of the patriots
and patriarchs, together with thou
sand women, found expression in a
burst of cheers when Robert r. Church
Jr, President and founder of the
League, took the gavel. What the
people expected is extactly what they
got.
After his speech dealing with routine
business, Mr. Church read the resolu
ton prepared by the Executive Com
mittee on the death of great Foraker
and then launched into declaration
against lawlessness.
81 would be untrue to you and to my
self as your elected leader if l should
remain silent against shame and crime
of lawlessness of any character, and
l could not if l would hold my peace
against either the lynching or burning
of human being" he said.
He went on: 1--WE must not lose hope
but keep our eyes open and press for
ward. What the Lincoln set out tt
do is exactly what the Lincoln pro
poses to do without q shadow of turn
ing.
The President announced that tn,
League endorsed heartily the work O
the National Association for the ad
vancement of Colored People.
