Red Bank, N. ]. - Seventy-five
members of the Red Bank and Long
Branch Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
were invited as guests to the Ocean
port Methodist Episcopal church last
Sunday night. The church was
crowded to the doors despite the
downpour of rain.
AS the choir sang Coward, Chris
tan Soldiers" the doors opened and
out of the rain marched a Klans-
woman bearing the banner of her
organic ton, the American flag. She
was followed by another Klans-
woman holding aloft the fiery cross
and following the cross-bearer came
Klansmen and Klanswomen. They
were ushered to seats which had been
reserved for the and received =.
welcome by the Rev. A. Parsells, who
invited the leaders to take seats at
his side.
Khan Conducts Services
The pastor read the twelfth chap
ter of Romans and then turned the
service over to the Khan leaders. The
addresses dealt with the duties OF
Chrismen men and women in the
New Year.
The Klansman who spoke requested
all present to make resolutions fol
the New Year. He suggested the
following as being worthy of consid.
Grafton:
"To. learn the real duties of ar
American citizen and to practice
them; to study the political situation
to be active in church work; to SET
that only Americans are placed OF
guard in 1924; and to try every day
to be of assistance to some poor sou
in need of financial or fratrnal aid.
Large Contribution
When the collection was taken il
was found that the plates were
heaped high with paper money ant
this was acknowledged by member:
of the church to be welcome, for thu
little church has been having a hare
struggle. On Christmas day the min
ister's home was destroyed by a fire
caused by the explosion of an OF
stove and all his furniture and per
sonal belongings destroyed. How
ever, the Klansmen at once rushed
up fifty dollars for his immediate
needs and followed this with theil
visit to the church and the large do
nation.
Klankraft is practiced to the nth
degree in Monmouth county by al
Klansmen, Klanswomen and Junior
Klansmen. "Non silba sed anthar."

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Although
California has long been known as
strong Klan state it has recently be-
coine apparent that the Ku Klux Khan
is again sweeping the state with re-
newed vigor. Just what has caused
tins sudden sweep of the organization
mas not been fully determined, al
though it is known that the growth IS
so big that it will be necessary to aid
III properly organizing and ak'ng
care of ,he sudden increase.
Among those men from other state
; i'll be about forty to fifty men from
the central states. A few field men
from INDIANA have already been plac
ed in the state and these will be fol-
lowed by more from the Hoosier state
IN which there are approximately 7OG.-
600 Klansmen. These men evidently
CARY message which is possibly tn,
real caluse for the sudden shooting up
in the d lily average of new HANS
men in California.
Reports have it that men from In
diana will be placed all along the
Pacific coast to aid in propagation
and with the renewed impetus it is
now expected that the Khan wave
will spread northward through Cali
fornia at tremendous rate. Oregon
to the north of this state, abounds
with Klansmen and is said to be one
of the strongest Khan states in the
Union, although, of course, does not
come near Indiana, Ohio and some
other states in numbers on account
of the difference in population.
Additional Field Men Necessary
However, regardless of Oregon or
what might be the reason for the
sudden and renewed move by citizens
of California, into the ranks of the
Khan, the fact remains that it is
necessary to send additional field
men to California in order to take
care of the fast increasing member
ship.
The Klan, which has long since
been recognized in California as a
staunch defender of true American
ism and Professionalism, has flourish
ed most satisfactorily to those Ameri-
I-l-
canism shall prevail in the United
States. A great increase in Khan
membership is now being felt
throughout the west but it would seem
that at this time California is taking
the lead.

said that the Marines understood they
were to receive SIS and their expenses
to drive the cabs to New York city.
Criminal charges are to be pressed
against the "highwaymen" who hired
the drivers of the stolen cars to drive
them to Upper Marlboro and then
forced them at the points of pistols to
turn the cabs over to them.
The Washington taxicab company
has recovered its eight cars and they
are back here in service. Meanwhile
the guilty marines are wondering
"where they are at" and are looking
to the Burns agency to get them out
of their predicament. And the coun-
try is wondering how a government
agency can pull stunts like that, es-
pecially in view of the fact that they
secured eighteen marines on duty and
pressed them into a night-riding
holdup. This might well be the sub
ject Of another congressional investi-
cation.

My Father If this cannot pass away,

In the suffering Of Jesus soul over
the wrong-doing of men. we have an
everlasting expression Of the suffering
that constitutes one element in the
vast will of the heavenly Father. If
there were nothing else but suffering
1t would be picture of weakness, but
1t is the suffering Of strength"
EMDITATION: Freely to offer ones

more one has offered the greater the
pain. Jesus. offered men that which
they sorely needed but they refused
and set themselves to believe that he
was evil rather than good. Yet he

7 UST two little shoes that ara
ragged and torn, are held as a
EA memory sweet. OF many black
buttons these objects are shorn; from
age, they no longer are neat.
And yet. as I see them, drift to
the past-some twenty-odd long years
ago These shoes are an echo that
always will last-that means a lot
more than you know
Back there in the days when the
shoe soles we're bright, a little tot
walked them around. and all OF the
buttons were fastened on tight
though some now are missing, I've
found.
These two little shoes taught a child
his first step: they taught him to tod
die and creep. But now in a closet
for years they have slept-to me. in
