Natal GREETINGS
Expresses Thanks for Congrat.
ulatiOn Received on
80th Birthday.

Moorfield Storey, of Boston, former
President of the American Bar Asso-
citation, and now President of the
National Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, has address
ed a message to members of the As
sociation. throughout the United
States, expressing his thanks for con-
gratulations received on his 80th
birthday and urging all citizens to
stand back of the movement for ra-
cial justice and betterment.
Mr.. Storey's letter in full is as fol-
lows:
ITO the Various Branches of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
nent of Colored People.
my Friends:
81 have received from Branches of
this Association all over the coun-
try the most cordial congratulations
on my eightieth birthday, and most
gratifying assurances Of their regard
for me personally. l take this means
of thanking one and all for these
messages of respect and affection, and
as long as my health permits I shall
continue to work for the cause which
the Association was founded to pro-
mote. I bid them be of good cheer
and persevere in their efforts.
1.-THE suits that are brought in the
courts against those who violate the
rights of the colored- people in this
country are most effective weapons,
and every judgment in our favor is
a precedent which discourages at
tacks. Let 1t be generally under
stood that 1t is not safe to injure a
colored man or woman, that lynch
ing is dangerous to the lynchers, that
the colored citizens of this country
are determined to assert their rights
under the constitution and laws, and
those rights will be respected and the
progress of the race will be more
rapid.
During my life I have seen slav-
cry abolished the world over, have
seen serfdom ended in Russia, have
seen the emperors of France, Turkey,
Russia, Austria and Germany swept
from their thrones, and their places
taken by the representatives of free
peoples. Bearing these facts in mind
want you to realize that the tide OF
freedom is rising the world over, and
that its progress is irresistible.
Least of all countries of the world
can the United States arrest this
progress, as 1t was the first to an
nounce the proposition that all men
are created free and equal. and that
all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned.
1--WE have only to stand fast, only
to persevere in asserting our rights
and we cannot be beaten. Take no
backward step, urge our fellow-citi-
zens to join our organization, to
fight with us and not stand by mere
lockers on. That is a proposition of
which every colored man should be
ashamed. His help is needed and the
larger our force, the sooner will
come our success.
(Signed) yours truly,
MOORFIELD STOREY"

particularly gratifying. The churches
in the four counties of Maryland
which are included in the diocese of
Washington have been in recent years
organized into districts and each dis
trict holds q meeting of delegates
from the parish branches within the
district at least once year. This
has tended to greatly stimulate the
interest in the work of the church
among the women in the country
parishes.
The meeting was held at St. Johns
Church, and began with a corporate
communion celebrated by the Bishop
of Washington. who also preached
the sermon. After luncheon the
business meeting was held and re-
ports were received from the executive
officers.
The following were elected for two
years, the terms of the predecessors
having expired, and under the bylaws
they were not eligible to succeed
themselves: President, Mrs. William
D. Hurd of All Saints, Chevy Chase:
for vice president of first Cd. c.
district. Mrs. William r. Truner of st.
Margaret's; for vice president of the

ton charge. So the tmbiber can
twiddle his nose at the Eighteenth
Amendment and the bone-dry
statute.
Wet advocates, particularly the
fearful friends OF light wines and
beer, claim that alcoholic bever-
ages are drunk mainly for the
sake Of the palate and conviviality.
They say few really drink to get
drunk.
The whole record of drinking in
this country since prohibition be-
lies their statements. Most people
drink brewed, distilled and fer
mented liquors because of the kick.
Deprived of recognized alcoholic
drinks considerable numbers have
turned joyfully to lemon extract,
hair tonic, varnish, canned heat,
and gasoline-none of which can
be considered pleasing to the
palate or convivial beverages.
Anything with a kick is their
motto.
Legalizing sale of light wines
and beer would not solve our pro-
hibition problem. Such drinks
have no kick. They would fall as
flat, to the ambitious thirsts Of
this country, as the Canadian four
by four beer-which tastes all
right but doesn't jolt the con-
sumner.
