THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF MUSICIANS
tRy DIR. M. A. MAJoRs)

Music is to the human ear what
honey is to the tongue The sound
Of it is to the nerves what JOY is to
the heart. But there is such a won
derful variety Of music. The Chinese,
the Japanese, the Indian, and the saw
age African have developed queer
tastes for sound, and where it seems
melody is absolutely to be disre-
garded. The Savage woman grooming
her lullaby to her first born imagines
she is ripping from classic sheet a
solemn canto.
We are to all intents and purposes
Americas representatives in melody,
harmony, rythm and the soul rehec-
tons in diapason. Without education
or musical scholarship we were that,
and now since we became educated
cultivated and refined we may en-
brace every feature Of the art, even
beyond the reach Of the rest Of man
kind.
1t is to be marveled at that We have
gone SO far ard done 50 well in the
high realm of melody and sound.
Our representatives, who have
charmed all Chicago during this pres
ent week, bring Joy to our hearts as
well as music to our souls.
They are our aristocrats of music
and song, and it is SO gEaddening to
have had them to come to our hearth
stone to enjoy our hospitality and to
see this great inland seaport. Chicago
by the lake
We will continue to mount high in
lyrics, music and story, all rich and
grand, expressing a racial Characters
tic that viii not be laughed down by
the noblest Of earth.
The higher music mounts the nearer
heaven is, and if our steps forward are
co-equal to our graces in the art Of
music then the world will be made
better and heaven will be brought
nearer.
Chicago has been given the great
est festival in music and song il has
ever had. All praise is due the man
aging head and the various chairmen
Of committees and the more than two
hundred local members.
Unique is the distinction we claim.
Oar soloists, impressarios and singers
are not to be surpassed anywhere,
but it is refreshing to find others try
ing to excel in the great game of per
sonal achievements. Our ears, our
eyes, our hearts, and our nerves are
greatly improved by what we have
seen and heard. Possibly upwards OF
$4,000 of our citizens attended the
many great events to listen to music,
song and oratory that rocked this city
to sleep by IFS pathos and rythm in
the tender reaches Of harmony and
soul enhancing cadence.
Long may the National Association
of Musicians exist We bespeak for
its promoter Gods divine appreciation
and success, therefore success alone
can crown their efforts.

JACK JOHNSON ALMOST GETS

Former Heavyweight Champ Angered
When Expensive Touring Car

ATLANTIC Z CITY, N. = Jack
Johnson, former heavyweight cham
pion Of the world, almost engaged in
an unofficial fight here last week, when
private detectives attempted To collect

had been placed upon the wheels OF

NEGRO RACE NEEDS EDU-
GATED PREACHERS SAYS
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR

Secretary Work of the Department
OF the Interior has recently issued a
statement calling attention to. the lack
OF Negro churches. According to this
statement, 500 colored ministers year
are needed to satisfy the demands.
Last year less than 100 men graduated
from any kind of training school for
preachers and Of this number less
than 10 were college graduates. The
average training Of the other 90 for
the colored ministry was about one
and one-half years grade school work.
There are about $4,000 corored
churches of all denominations in the
United States. The shortage Of
preachers is illustrated by the fact
that there is one white minister to
every 88o white people
Secretary Works statement is far
too low when the graduates Of How
ard University. Virginia Union Uni
versity, Lincoln University, Gamma
Theological Seminary are taken to-
gether. Without doubt more than 10
college graduates received Theological
degrees the last year, but he calls
attention TO a very sad need and it is
entirely worth while that colored men
who plan to enter the ministry should
have sufficient preparation to enable
them to-be real leaders for their peo-
pie. Without question the average
education Of the colored minister is
far too low.

WEEK DAY SERMONETTES
BY DR.. H. r. S. JOHNSON,
Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma.
THE WAY TO INTERRACIAL
COOPERATION

Acts l0.34-35-Then Peter began to
speak, 4 clearly see, said he, that
God makes no distinctions between
one man and another; but that in
every nation, those who fear Him and
live good lives are acceptable to Him !"
Peter was a strict Jew and shared
fully the opinion OF his race that God
made them ont Of better clay than
He used when making the Gentiles.
Though he, with the other apostles,
had been commissioned to go the
whole world over and proclaim the
good news to all mankind" he still
believed the good news was for the
Jews only. Not until the house-top
vision did he give thought about
the Gentiles' claim on salvation. Not
until he heard Cornelius tell of the
heavenly messenger to himself did he
get big enough to say, i clearly see
that God makes no distinction be-
tween one map and another
In this story there are some notable
facts:

were brought to fraternal relations
because both were men Of prayer

desperate that it is absolutely neces-
-sary for him to keep his head on top
as safeguard against conduct and
counsel that would make his leader
ship dangerous The only guarantee
Of level head under trying circum-
stances is the prayer habit The
Negro must pray the prayer Of faith
or the door of hope will close.
The white man needs to pray, espe-
cially when he thinks Of himself in
relation to the Negro, for humility.
He is SO prone to disregard the Scrip
ture which says, Il warn every indi-
vidual among you not to value him

Of the man who prays, white o. black.
It is also an outstanding Characters
tic Of the man who thinks correctly

2. We must become in both races
men and women open to divine guild
ance, like Cornelius and Peter, before
we can meet on terms Of brother
hood. White men and black men OF
America, we be brethren. Denial
does not alter the fact. DR.. Lyman

Leaving out religion and ethics, we

brotherhood is the strongest political
pull one can have. If you do not be-
lieve it. philosophize on Governor
Walton's election and the popularity
Of Mayor Thompson Of Chicago.
Both Of these men preach and prac-
tice square deal towards all the peo-
pie, including Negroes. White men
do not lose anything BY being kind
to Negroes. If SO. history does not
show it. If the world were asked 10
name the two greatest presidents this
country has had, the two names that
would head the list would Be Abra-
ham Lincoln, the emancipator. and
Theodore Roosevelt, the only presi-
dent who ever ate lunch with Negro.
Nor does the Negro lose By getting
close to the white man. In fact. the
greatest leaders the race has produced
are those Negroes who have been
able to get most from the white man
for their people. Booker Washington
was our greatest leader because ne
brought to the race the cooperation
Of the white people Of widest infu-
ence and greatest wealth as no other
