ID e { e a t Delaware
Bill to Disfranchise
Negroes in School
Election

A bill passed by the Delaware
would have DISTINGUISHED Negroes in
elections affecting white schools, was
defeated in the Delaware Senate on
March : by vote of . to s, due part
Iy to the efforts of the National AS
sociation for the Advancement of Col
ored People, 40 Fifth Avenue, New
York, which telegraphed protest to
the governor and Senate of Delaware
and had representatives present mt the
hearing on the measure.
Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson of the
Wilmington branch, n. A. A. c. T.,
who is also managing editor of the
Philadelphia and Wilmington Advo-
cate appeared for the Advancement
Association in protest against the
measure. The delegation accompanying
Mrs. Dunbar to Dover included DIR,
Jason of the State College, also a
member of the legislative committee
of the Delaware State Federation OF
Colored Women's Clubs.
Defeat by the Advancement Associ-
alton of Representative Caleb Il. Lay
ton of Delaware, in the November
elections, because of his vote against
the Dyer anti-lynehing bill, helped to
bring about the defeat of the school
bill. Democrats We're disinclined TO
antagonize the colored voter, accord
ing to "The Evening Journal of VIII
mington, which said in its news re-
port on March So =.
1.-The first bill is the one when 1t
was claimed might disfranchise Ne
groes and Roman Catholics, who SEND
their children to parochial schools
from voting ut school elections. rms
bill, it is claimed, is in jeopardy in the
Senate and may fail largely because
Democratic leaders feel this is not the
time to make any direct slap at the
Negro vote, especially after the Ne
groes supported the Democratic party
Mt the last election"
The bill was opposed by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, on the ground
that the Negroes would be taxed for
bond issues voted on in elections in
which they were DISTINGUISHED ana
would therefore be subject to taxation
without representation also because
the measure was class legislation

WONDERS OF The HOLY LAND; WHY
EVERY MINISTER SHOULD SEE Them
Bv MRS. LEILA WALKER WILSON,
president, The Mime. c. ]. Walker Mfg. Coz

Mount of Olives, containing rock
marked by tradition as the exact spou
where Christ ascended into Heaven /;
there is the tomb of David on Mount
Zion and the chamber of the Lord $
last supper; the Jews Wailing Place,
which is against the wall of Solomon
and is where the Jews go daily to cry
and pray for the revelation of the
burial place of the Ten Command
ments.
The city of Bethlehem, the home of
David and the birthplace of Christ, is
interesting for its Church of the Ma
tivity, erected over the birthplace or
Christ and containing the resting place
of the manger. Here also is located
the Chapel of Innocence. BethieIr.n
represents the beginning of the his
tory of Christ and offers splendid OPP
portunity for first hand comparison of
much relating to His early life.
There is Jericho, the Promised Land
with Elijah's fountain beside the
school of the Sons of the Prophets and
Bethany, which is now an entirely
Moslem city, with the spot where
stood the house of Simon, the leper,
and where Lazarus was resurrected
by Christ, and then, the Dead Sea and
the River of Jordan with muddy, tur-
bulent waters and which rises in
Mount Hermon. These are by no
means all the wonders of the Holy
Land There are as many more, of
lesser Importance, but interesting and
related very directly to the more fa-
nous biblically historical places.
Palestine is wonderful, and though
the least of all the lands, it is with
influence that penetrates into the
furthermost corner of the earth. 1t is
not ii beautiful land, but picturesque
and possessing all the requisites that
go TO make beauty-hills and valleys,
sloping plateaus and rugged shore
lines, barren deserts and verdant mea-
dows. To go there and see the Won
ders of the past is to receive an ,un-
eouailed education, to be a master OF
biblical history and to gain a more
clear and comprehensive knowledge OF
The Christ that was and the Christi
anity that is. A trip to the Holy Land
and full realization of much the Bible
speaks of should be aspired to by
every one and most certainly by the
large number of church men whose
chosen field is service and the perpet-
uation of the teachings of Christ. And
such trip is not impossible. 1t is
within your reach. A trip to Pales-
tine, the wonderful Holy Land, free OF
all cost, is yours if you determine to
earn it.
Buy and read race papers April 1st
and learn how to make this unequalled
trip free of all cost. Buy, read and

Greater Bethel
Opens Doors to
Overflow Crowd
Over Three Thousand Dol
lars in Cash Laid on
Table at Sunday
Rally

Greater Bethel Church, the largest
world, was dedicated Sunday when a
crowd of nearly 1000 stOrmed the
doors to gain entrance. Thousands
We're turned away. The greatest
ed States packed the four floors Sun
day morning at IL o'clock. Newspaper
reporters and photographers, men in
all walks of life with the fairer sex
clinging to their elbows came. Old
settlers belonging to many of the diff
ferent churches in this city that rep
resent all denominations found their
way to this great edifice at 1900 Grand
boulevard.
Bishop l.. ]. Coppin of Philadelphia,
Pa; Bishop b. f. Lee, senior African
Methodist Episcopal prelate of VIII
berforce, Ohio; Bishop H. B. Parks
and Bishop Archibald J. Carey of Chi
cago were on the program.
DIR. c. NJ Tanner, brother of the late
Bishop Tanner, who has just finished
serving six months as pastor of Bethel,
has added one more jewel to his crown
of record-breaking church rallies. Sun
day $1,000 in cash was laid on the
table. In the last thirty days DR..
Tanner raised $4,000.
The present home of the Bethel con-
gregation is not only the largest, but
it is the most beautiful and the most
elaborate home of any church of our
group in the world. The main audi
torium seats 5000 and 1000 can be
cared for in the gymnasium, two
stories below.
In connection Bethel will carry on
one of the largest community centers
in America. The basement contains
the largest swimming pool in Chicago.
The main floor has large lobby and
veranda, also II spacious dining room.
On the third floor are assembly and
recreation rooms, library, day nurs-
cry, boys club and an employment bu-
reau.

At the Friday afternoon session
unanimous consent was asked to have
read into the records of the confer
ence the noble words of the governor
of Colorado in rebuke of one S. J.
Hines, member of an improvement
association of the city of Denver, who
sought his aid to have the Legislature
pass a resolution to establish a sep
arate school system for the races with
view to bring about conditions
similar to those which obtain in his
home state of Mississippi. Governor
Sweet informed Hines that he had bet
ter return south of Mason and DfXOn's
line if he would like these matters
handled in that way, for Colorado
handled them differently. The gov
ernor further said that he doubted
very much if such measure could be
passed through the Legislature and
very emphatically stated that if it did
pass he would refuse to sign it. All
of which, as read from the issue of
the COLORADO STATESMAN of
March 3rd, was roundly applauded by
the delegates and the large number of
visitors present.
Splendid and inspiring addresses
were made at the evening sessions by
Senators Fess of Ohio, Mccormick of
Illinois and Spencer of Missouri, all of
whom were eloquent and outspoken in
their commendation and defense of
Negro citizenship. Register Speelman
of the treasury, Rev. DR.. Stewart of

Henry ]. Calls, Prof Leroy Locke of
Howard University, Prof. Chas Thorn
as of Dunbar High, Prof. Jesse Law
son of the Frelinghuysen University
and Mrs. Villa Dwiggins of Kansas
also gave interesting addresses. Rev.
w. O. Darlington of the John Wesley
Church made the welcome address and
Prof. Frank Johnson arranged and
conducted the musical program.
The address to the nation, among
other things, encourages rural home
life. seeks to stimulate business ac-
tivity, urges the country to outlaw
lynching and mob violence, declares
for equal opportunity for Christian
education and voices an unalterable
faith in God and the religion of Jesus
Christ, as the saving element of the
race, of the nation and of humanity.
The executive committee will decide
upon the time ana place for the next
annual meeting. Hon. ]. Silas Harris
and ]. A. Landlord, Esq, were chosen
unanimously as preside~+ md secre-
tary-treasurer for ~ 0g year.

KTO MATTER in which manner APP
N proach to Palestine is made, one
somehow feels that he has begun
Il soiourn among the most Holy of
Holes, and not because of the alb
sence of company, for there are many
fellow pilgrims on the boats and
trains that touch points in the Holy
Land. There are merchants and trad
ers, too. from the four points of the
compass and still hundreds of others
moving about with apparently no
thought of the sacred land in which
they move. Their lack of appreciation
of the unequalled wonders of their ma
tive land is common, just as Ameri-
cas- wonders are often passed un-
noticed hy as. Boss
Upon arriving, one is impressed with
the politeness of the customs officials
whose virtues, by the way, do not in
clude immunity from grating and
petty thievery. A coin placed into the
examining officers hands is known to
be the trick that facilitates an easy
and hasty entrance to the Land Where
Christ Lived. Once in, you are known

son of untold wealth. Foreigners, in
spite of the thousands who visit there
annually, are novelties and the ma

every one they see.
Jerusalem, the first point of inter
I ,-;citn1 in DnIactipa npI tho Ioru-
est and most important city, is stu
ated on four hills, $500 feet above the
Mediterranean Sea, and surrounded on
three sides by ravines, the fourth side
joining one of the hills with the main
range of mountains of the country. 1t
is truly the Golden City, as may be
seen by the countless golden dOmes,
spires and minarets of thousand and
more churches, mosques and syna-
gCgues glittering and dazzling in the
sunlight and the houses of white stone
and rough marble silhouetted against
the azure sky, representing the resi-
dences and business shops of 10000
Moslems, Jews and Christians. Scores
OF ill-paved, crooked, narrow streets
mark the paths through the city and
lend their bit to the enchantment of
the Holy Land.

wars, massacres and destruction, and

Strange enough to say, Mohammed-
anism is the principal religion of
Palestine and its hold on the major

even stranger to say, their principal
church, the Mosque Oman, erected A.
d. 691, is the most beautiful struc-

Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which
it is said covers the spot where Jesus

stone that was rolled away from the
mouth of the sepulchre by an angel.

THE TWENTY FIFTH annual
meeting of the above association
convened at the John Wesley A.

"HE TWENTY FIFTH annual
meeting of the above association
convened at the John Wesley A.
NJ. L. Church from the 9TH to 9th and
has been acclaimed as the most sue
cessful meeting in the history of the
organization.
The extensive program covering the
vital questions of Negro citizenship
education and progress was partici
pated in by the delegates appointed
by the governors of states and othel
members of the association.
Perhaps it is the first time in the
history of Negro conferences when
there has been assembled so many rep
resentative Negroes bearing creden
tials issued by governors of sovereign
states. 1t is interesting and encour-
aging to know that thirty-siX of these
executives responded to the request OF
President Silas J. Harris and not only
appointed delegates to the conference
but forwarded letters of cOmmenda
tion, approving in unequivocal terms
the aims and ideals it sought TO pro
mote
Perhaps, too, among the most sig
nificant of such communications were
those of the governors of Montana
and Colorado. Governor Dixon of the
former state alluded to the fact that
while he was born in the South, he
was at the same time n product of
abolitionist parents and had conse-
quently inherited a viewpoint of the
opinions of that section. He believed
in the equality of human rights and
privilege and that every American, re
gardless of color or creed, was en-
titled to equal protection and oppor-
tunity under the flag"
The governor of Colorado strongly
approved the objects of the confer
ence and later in Il telegram invited
the farmers of the race to come to the
great Centennial State, assuring them
of an "open door" in the land of the
Golden West and an equal opportun-
ity to share in the blessings as well
as the responsibilities of its citizen
ship.
The letters of the governors, as al
so from President Harding, regretting
that he was leaving for a much needed
vacation on the day the conference
convened, were read by John III. Payn-
ter, who in association with Messrs.
Hardy and Perkins were duly ac-
credited delegates from Colorado.
Among the questions discussed at
the various sessions were the follow
ing:
How can we make Negro citizen
shin a reality?" "Is the accident OF
color real or imaginary barrier to
race progress - "How may the pres
ent spirit of antagonism between the
white and Negro peoples be elimi-
nated?" should the education of the
two races be identical?" Are there
too many secret societies among Ne
groes and could the money spent for
their maintenance be more advantage
ously used by investment in CONNER
cial enterprises?" "How can we en-
courage our young men and women to
remain on the farm?" What, If any
advantage, will the Negro gain by
dividing his vote?
