REV. J. H. DENNIS ON PRIDE OF
RACE.

Rev. ]. II. Dennis of Mt. Calvary
Baptist Church spoke on the Pride OF
the Race, Sunday. In every civilized
nation and race, he said, there are
prominent figures to which they point
with pride. going as far back as Abb
raham and the Jews. To these the
world can look with pride for from
them we get the Christ and His gos-
pei. We will omit the fact and figures
as to some of the other great men
and nations and deal with the history
of the Pentateuch and the great law
giver, keeping his people their
pedigree for most 5000 years. Rev.
Billy Sunday says that they are the
purest blood and most wealthy people
of the earth.
All should feel proud of them.
But who can speak for Ethiopia and
her people? The most heard nova
days is darkest Africa. Something
should he said if only to correct mis-
taken ideas. True we have no great
ancestry, though with pride we speak
of Jethro, the priest of indian, the
father-in-law Of Moses. This priest,
Jethro, called all the elders Of the
100000 Jews just out of slavery to
burnt Offering and sacrifices for
God, and Aaron, Moses and all the
elders of Israel ate bread with him
before God.
Jethro was not only priest hut a
diplomat, giving Moses his first les
sons in sacrifices and diplomacy in
establishing legislative, judiciary and
executive departments with supreme
judges. Are we not more than proud
of such figure?
Then, too, we are proud to say
that we were not always savage and
desperate. Read l Chronicles, 4-40:
They found fat pasture and good and
the land was wide and quiet and
peacable; for they of Ham had dwelt
there of old. So today we are where
others have been because we left God
and he made us a reproach, though
we prize some of our past and hope
to rise again.-Exchaflge.

NEGROES OPEN DRIVE ON CITY.
Advance contingents of $4,000 South
erners, Expected by Summer, Arrive
Detroit tree Press.

Advance contingents of the $4,000
southern Negroes expected to reach
Detroit during the coming summer,
already are arriving at the rate of
from 100 to $50 a week, according
to Forester b. Washington, head
of the Negro Urban League, who l.;
placing the new arrivals in positions
they are believed capable Of filling.
So great has been the demand for
labor in this city, says Mr.. Wash
inton, that it is impossible for him
to fill the orders for Negro workers
among the men, although there are
&ry. ore Negro women ASKING
work than there are places for
them
That Detroit's method of assimi-
lating the great influx of Negroes is
solving the problem of racial differ
ences better THAN in other cities is
shown by the fact that other cities
are asking for advice from league
directors here. East ST. Louis, where
race riots have followed bitter ra-
cial feeling, obtained a survey of
what is being done here and the Ro-
tary Club of that city raised a fund
of $4,000 to institute similar ur-
ban league there.
The Detroit league has enlarged
its quarters 100 per cent twice dur
ing the last Xix months, and plans
further extension to meet the prob
lens of the summer. The employ
ment department has been placed on
the first floor of the quarters at 297
st. Antoine street.
Courses in domestic training given
to Negro women have reached the
end Of the first period and IL women
have been given their >Nters. When
these are signed by three employers
and an oral examination is approved
by the Visiting Housekeepers asso-
citation, the women will receive GER
tificates. "A second course will he

HADLEY SCHOOL NOTES.

We are always glad to let the pub
lie know the news Of this school. This
building was erected in the summer
and fall of 1907. Prof E. w. Benton
was our first principal, who labored
hard to place this school on a high
plane where it rightfully belongs.
In the fall of 1914, Prof. w. M.
Allen took charge Of it as Principal,
Prof. Benton having been sent to
Belleview School as principal.
We are yet trying to hold our
place among the leading grammar
schools of the city, realizing the fact
that all heights are gained by per-
sistent and untiring efforts on the
part of individuals. Hence, we are
struggling hard to do our duty as we
see it from time to time keeping in
mind the fact that whatever is worth
doing is worth doing well. Our les
sons are very hard at times, yet we
are striving hard to make our grade
in June when the term ends. We are
yet trying to do our "bit" during this
great war to help our country. There
is something for all of us to do Every
boy and girl must do his or her part.
We know we are not old enough to
join the army with the big soldier
boys and go into the trenches and
fight for democracy" yet we can
join the army of burrows" and work
our gardens. By doing so we are
helping those who have gone to the
buying War-Savings Stamps. We are
trying to do our duty along this line
Every stamp bought means a shot at
the Germans and autocracy. We are
for America first, last and always.
From time to time we yet have
visitors to drop in. Last week Prof
A. c. Webb, Prof. Milton Cook, DR..
l.. A. Fisher and DR.. j. p. Crawford
were with US Prof Webb talked to
us about birds, some of their habits
and the use they are to mankind.
Prof. Cook interested us in music. DR..
Crawford went into all the rooms of
the building as he usually does to in
spect the work that is being done by
the teachers. DR.. Fisher is a very
close observer and always looking
for vsrious symptoms that may ap-
pear at any time. These gentlemen
carry JOY and sunshine wherever they
go.
We are looking forward to next
week, when the daylight saving law
goes into effect We are going to
try to be on time Monday morning,
even if we do start an hour earlier
Mr.. Editor, we are very sorry you
did not have space for the poetry we
wanted published last week. A mem.

NgeRo LOYALTY.

Mr.. Editor: Our Country Is AZ war
with an enemy whose success means
q slavery many times worse than the
one from which Lincoln emancipated
US. Our President has told us that
one OF the essentials for success Is
food. Someone has gone so far as
to say-"Food will win the war" We
have given our men and our money
to help the cause of Democracy.
Now let US who are under and over
THO age limit for soldiers, enlist in
the cause for which we can fight
producing bigger crops. When the
war is over and our flag returns vic
toriors, and it will, We want to grasp
the hands of our soldier boys and
tell them-we did our bit as we'll as
they did theirs. We want to show,
and we must show, to our President,
and the noble white men of the civ
ilized world, that colored Americans
measured up to the mark in the fight
for Democracy. By our condu1 lett
us make every white man confess,
when he thinks Of us; when he speaks
of us and when he sees us, that we
were the most loyal of the loyal. We
have battle to fight here at home
and we must win. The colored and
white farmers should Immediately get
together and map out a plan for mu-
tual welfare and division of labor.
Then let every man and woman, hoy
and girl, not enlisted in the Army
or Navy, volunteer his or her services
during this crisis. We cannot afford
to allow the lure of a few dollars to
divert Ms from our national duty. The
reward of being patriotic citizen is
a thousand fold greater than a few
dollars ready cash. Do your duty to
Uncle Sam and he will be compelled
to do his duty to you. When the war
is over and various men are called
to the White House to be congratu-
lated for the part they played in the
great struggle, some colored man will
be among the number, and the Presi-
dent will say: well done, faithful
American, enter thou into the joys of
Democracy" Is there a colored man
in America who will not rejoice at
these words? Will it not be music to
his ears? We are music loving peo-
pie. Then let us make the President
utter the words, and our hearts set
them to music.
From the dawn of Democratic Ameri-
ca to this date We have been tried
and never denied the glory that was
ours. Let us prove that progress in
intellect, finance and morals has not
weakened our zeal for our country's
cause. Let our motto to Uncle Sam
be: There is no age limit to the 10y
atty of Colored Americans.
Now Mr. Editor, in closing this ar
ticle, | want to impress upon your
mind and the minds of those who read
this, that it is not my intention to
advise, persuade or induce any man
or woman who has gone from the
South to the North to return to the
South. 1t is not my intention to ad-
wise, persuade or induce any man os
woman in the South to remain there
If it is his or her desire to leave, but
l do want to impress upon those,
North and South, East and West who
ahve their country's welfare at heart
that now is the time to show their
patriotism. ThiR war demands that
our country, our soldiers and our al
lies must have food. Will you help
produce it?
Very truly yotrs,
