MRS. HELEN GILES BRUCE, PIo-
NEER AND OCTOGENARIAN,
. RESPONDS TO THE ROLL
CALL

when the roll is called up yonder
I'll be there the familiar song so
dear to us in or religious circles,
and one, the strains of which so Of
ten proceeding from the lips of Ellen
Giles Bruce, will cease to be rendered
by her whether in the immediate
home or in the church edifice, Will
find it's refrain borne aloft by angels
voices with a resonance that will
comfort those WHO mourn her loss
and offer consolation to those who
are nearest and dearest to her and
who will miss her sweet association
during her tenure of life on earth.
Four score years the special biblical
allotment of life having been lived by
her, fifty of which she had the COM
munion and companionship of her hus-
band, the late Francis T. Bruce, who
predeceased her September, 1917. She
was a character who won herself into
the hearts of her fellow-citizens by
her good works and being pioneer OF
the western country, she, with her
husband, filled the position of authen-
tic agencies of information on the
growth and development of Denver al
ter leaving Washington, ID. c., nearly
six decades ago. In social and rel1g-
ious spheres she played great part,
having been one of the organizers OF
the Household of Ruth, No. 376, the
feminine branch of the Grand United
Order of Odd Fellows, also one OF the
founders of Shorter A. M. e. Church
in this city. On Monday evening last
she answered the roll CALI at her
late residence, 2231 Glenarm place,
bowling obediently to the inevitable,
temporarily absent as we are taught,
l. tD hn
that makes her the recipient OF
the reward for the good things
she did to humanity and for hui
manity's service. She leaves sis
ter, brother, several nieces and
nephews in Washington, d. c., and her
foster-daughter, Mrs. Mildred Aber-
nathy, to mourn her death, the latter
being exceptional in her attention,
which was devoted to the deceased
during her declining years, and which
is worthy of commendation from rela-
tives and friends who make attesta-
ton to her untiring and Jealous serv-
ice to her foster-mother. Funeral
services were held from Shorter
, church yesterday. 2:30 p. M, under the
auspices of the Household of Ruth
The floral offerings, were numerous
and beautiful. Rev. Williams offici-
ated and the large concourse OF
friends in attendance gave an evil
dence of the influence of the deceased
and the prestige she established in
the community Interment at Fair
mount cemetery in family plot where
she was laid to rest by the side of her
husband.

Russ and Mr.. and Mrs. Steele, respec-
lively, received the rite. Having been
members of the Sunday School for a
number of years, it is with pleasure
that the Church bears witness to their
admission into its fold.

LABOR BULLETIN EDITOR RE-
TURNS FROM ENJOYABLE
EASTERN TRIP.

CLINT C. HOUSTON, editor of the
Denver Labor Bulletin, returned to the
city this week after two weeks cam
paign for the dry" committee in the
state of New York. He spoke in sew
eral cities in northern and central
New York and assisted materially in
making a gain for the anti-saloon
forces, the result of the recent cleo
ton licensing cities for liquor traffic
being 20 voting dry and nineteen re-
naming wet. "This was the first time
that cities of New York had an oppor-
tunity to vote on the liquor question,
and this result" says Mr.. Houston, rs
an indication of the success the dry
forces will accomplish in the near fu-
ture."
War is the topic and principal busi-
ness of the Eastern cities, and the 10y
atty demonstrated is almost unparal-
leled. Visits to Washington and Chi
cago were also made by the editor and
as he expresses it-"In Washington
and New York one seems to be imme-
diately behind the firing line-sol-
diers, sailors and officers of all the
allied nations mingling everywhere,
while overhead the whirr and buzz of
aeroplanes bring impressively a faint
realization of what is going on at the
front" A very attractive feature is
the unceasing work of the big indus
tries, with their thousands of work
men in their day and night tasks turn
ing out munitions of war, while the
railroads are crowded with the trans
portation of freight. In Chicago Mr..
Houston witnessed the great Liberty
Loan Parade in which organized labor
played very important part, about
$4,000 men participating on last Sat
urday Both in the East and West the
people are strongly supporting the
President, is the impression made on
the editor, and the faith is uppermost
in their minds and the thought evil
denced by their acts that the days of
the Huns are numbered, and certain
defeat must be the inevitable lot of
Germany - THE WORLDS ARCH
ENEMY.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

The storm last Tuesday night pre-
vented the coming out of the full
membership of the checker club, so
that the tests which had been laid out
for the different ones had to go over
until the next meeting. The surprise
of the evening was the scoring of
Blakemore against Mason. OF course
he was far outplayed by Mason, but it
was not expected that he would even
get draw Mason means to come
back with vengeance next week.
Twelve members of the glee club
were present at the rehearsal Tuesday
night. They are now preparing for an
evening at Zion church, which has
been promised them through the kind
ness of the pastor.
The meeting last Sunday afternoon
was addressed by the Rev. ]. A. Thos.-
Hazell He spoke on patriotic
theme, calling the attention of those
present to the urgent need of Ameri-
can, and especially. every colored
American, doing his full duty during
this terrible crisis through which the
world is passing.
Next Sunday the Rev. P. ]. Price
will address the meeting. A splendid
hour is already anticipated. The meet
ing beginning at will close at 5. All
are cordially welcome.
