And yoiA who Judge so harshly,
Are yoa sure the stumbling stone
That tripped the feet of others
Might not have bruised your own?
Are you sure the sad-faced angel
Who writes your errors down
Will ascribe to you more honor
Than him on whom you frown?

Denver has not n large, modern bulld-

to them all the reason why-nameiy'
that Just as the board of directors
were preparing to bring on IL campaign
for such Il building over two years
ago the war situation became so acut"
that the plan had to be given over
for the time, but that 1t is hoped by
another year things will be different.
On account of the marriage OF one
of the. leaders of the croquet clup
early in the week, some of the games
scheduled could not be played. Some
good games were played on the upper

MISS MYRTLE 3. ANDERSON AT
ZION BAPTIST CHURCH LAST
TUESDAY IN HER LECTURE,
"PLEA FOR JUSTICE"

Zion was filled to seating capacity
in main auditorium as well as the Sun
day School annex to hear the youthful
lecturer, Miss Myrtle Bernice Ander-
son in her famous lecture-"THE HUI
MAN CRY, A PLEA FOR JUSTICE"
Coming at this time when our country
is at such unrest, when it appears as
the foundations of good government
in the world seem to be crumbing !;
when at our own firesides the cruel
arm of prejudice, discrimination and
general cruelty is being laid heavily
upon us, this youth of n few years
brought Il message of consolation and
cheer at n time when most needed, as
the succession of atrociOuS events is
beginning to create a feeling that must
result in our becoming other than
patriotic if the lawless actions do
not quickly terminate. Apart from
her matchless oratOrical powers,
her logical reasOnings and CO.
gent arguments, she forcefully re-
minded us of our contribution to this
country's cause, to the nations devel-
opment, to the preservation and main
tenance of its honor and dignity, and
its prestige which the world reveres
and admires. Then after her fluent,
eloquent and rhetorical recitation of
our part in the glorious achievements
of the United States of America, from
the shedding of our blood in her free
dom from monarchicai yoke, from an
enslavement characteristic of mon
arches and sOvereignties, she offered
Il chaStiSement for the little wrongs
among us like petty jealousies, disclos-
ing of our business ventures, lack OF

race, and then with much emphasis she
gave the good advice-MANAGE
YOUR OWN AFFAIRS-the essence
of which meant have faith and conf
dence in yourselves, your professionals
of your race and entrust your business
among your people who can and will
give service the most, the best. The
speaker was listened to with rapt at
tention and after Il forty-five minutes
talk which impressed very strongly
race uplift, and race determine
ton for better treatment from
our government, she offered her
PLEA FOR JUSTICE and re-
quested us to join the great army OF
our people that are pleading for this
cause The lecture was free, but Den
yer in her usual large-hearted and APP
preciative' manner, expressed their
readiness to assist her in carrying the
message to other cities by a free will
offering of nearly $50. Our best wishes
90 with her and we hope for her long
career of usefulness after Miss Ander-
son completes her law course in the
Chicago University, this being her
senior year. Rev. A. NJ. Ward pre-
sided, and nice and spicy little pro
gram consisting of piano solo by Miss
Lucy Perkins, songs by Mime. Lillian
Hawkins-Jones, and introduction of the
lecturer by Mrs. George Ross added de-
lightfully to the event
