We, the boys that are left of the
Old Company &c" are not sending
you this article for the benefit of
supertluous praises but toinform the
people of what their sons, husbands
and sweethearts are doing for the
benefit of their nation and the colored
race. We know from reliable sourc-
es that you don't get the reports of
doings of the boys in France under
the present circumstances all of the
boys are doing fine and have learned
to take things as they come and be
happy. Our Regiment has been in
France seven months, during this
time we have had, | might say, a test

think of what it is for we are happy

you few facts concerning our regi-
ment which must be guided that nc

the unincorporated commission. or
rather DR.. Frank, to present what
ever he had on behalf of his COM
mission, whereupon DR.. Frank spoke
for forty-five minutes in most pro-
found and logical speech. He laid
before the vast audience the ques-
tions at issue that caused the separa-
tion of the convention, together with
those that have arisen since to keep
them apart and widen the breach,
and as he put it, he stated the case,
defined the issue and showed the eff
feet, then applied the remedy by
submitting as prerequisites to peace
and reunion the following:
That the lawsuits in Chicago, ILL.,,
against the National Baptist Conven-
tion (unincorporated) to prevent
them from using the name NATION
AL BAPTIST CONVENTION, must
be dismissed. The ministerial en-
barge encouraged and practiced by
the brethren of the incorporated con-
vention and associations and church.

listers of the gospel must be accorded

tion receiving members from church

convention without letters, as an
act of disrecognition to the churches

convent tion, must be discontinued and
discouraged; and the lawsuit against

When DR.. Frank concluded, the
/ chair called upon DR.. W. H. Moses
of the incorporated convention, to
submit what he had to submit on
their behalf. DR.. Moses arose, and
after making strong presentation
of their case, stated that 1t was the
desire, and not only the desire, but
the intention, and not only the in
tention, it was their determination to
get together at any cost, and he
deemed it unnecessary for him tc
make lengthy speech. After
speaking for forty minutes and re-
plying to the speech of DR.. Frank, he
concluded with recapitulation of the
things submitted by Dr. Frank as 9

FURNISHED by the National Negro

The song service upnder the direc

one of the greatest gospel singers and
soloists of the Negro race, was one
of the most Interesting and inspiring
features of the afternoon service. The
Rising Star Glee Club and the large

the meeting of the joint sessions.
Wisdom and experience of the Com
mission were shown in the concise
and fair rules adopted as a course of
procedure. One of the rules, and
perhaps the most important one,
was that which provided that all
questions affecting either conventions
with the Commissions here assembled
were to be given time to meet sep
arately and apart from the joint Ies-
sion and consider and vote upon said
questions and report back to the
joint session. This rule was quickly
adhered to. There seemed to have
been an earnest desire on the part Of
all to have peace and finally get to-
gether in a reunited body.
However, during the session there
were strong arguments made in sup
port of their respective views, and
great speeches made explaining the
same. Each of the colored commits
sions elected it's spokesman to repre-
sent them, and one hour was given
each of the spokesman to lay their
side of the question before the joint
commission. DR.. John H. Frank, the
editor of the National Baptist Union
Review, was the spokesman for the
unincorporated convention, DR.. w
H. Moses, the general field secretary
of the incorporated convention, was
spokesman for that body. DR.. Gam

upon the Importance Of the meeting

During the Christmas of 1918, no

before, and, as usual, the less foi tu-

With this in view, number of the
