Mrs. EInora Gresham Of Federated
Clubs of Iowa Was Present Last
Evening at the Bethel
Church.
TALK IS APPRECIATED
Mrs. Gresham Reviewed the History
Of the Race and Told the Women
Why They Should
Advance.

A large and appreciative audience
greeted Mrs. Eldora H. Gresham,
president of the CMored Women's
Federated Clubs of Iowa, at the Bethel
A. M e church last night. The lee
ture was under the auspices of the
Phyllis Wheatley Rescue and Charity
club. Mrs. A. w. Draine acted as
mistress of ceremonies. performing
well in that capacity. Miss Ruth
Johnson and Mrs. Marjorie Hobart
Toombs furnished both the vocal and
instrumental solos for the evenings
program, and as usual we're well re-
ceived.
After the singing of America by the
audience the invocation was delivered
by the Rev. J. III. Garrison. The lee
iture by Mrs. Gresham, Are We Max
ing the Best of Our Opportunities in
Trying to Reach the Top" held the
audience anxiously waiting to see
what new thought she would bring
next.
To say that the lecture was appre-
ciated and well received is putting 1t
mildly The great worth and work OF
the colored woman was dealt with in
Its various phases. Morally, socially,
ireligiously and politically, the history
L of the race for the last fifty years was
carefully reviewed. Her slogan for
the race and especially for the color
ed women was San equal show for all
with special privilege to none"
Their sponsor days are over and
they must launch out and show them
selves mistresses Of the situation in
every sense of the word Mrs. Gresh-
am declared There were many rea-
SONS why the colored woman should
vote and she showed why the colored
woman should be one hundred per
cent in that. ar
The climax came in her tribute to
the negro dead on the battlefields OF
France.
Following the, lecture, the Rev. j.
| H. Garrison made several announce
ments. The Rev. J. Sterling Moore
was invited to take the Offering, and
he praised the lecture and the work Of
the society, and especially of the
president, Mrs. V. Olive Phillips. The
offering by far was greater than any
one expected. Refreshments were
served in the dining room following
the lecture.

Health promotion is a prime ne

toned how losses from disease and
