COMMUNION
By A. F. BOYD

Communion Day at Bethesda, Ills
Eighth street south, Minneapolis. All
are invited to be present at the Lords
Supper. Visitors and strangers are
always welcome.
Let all examine themselves, and so
let the meat of that Bread, and drink
of that Cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh un-
worthily, eateth and drinketh damna.
ton to themselves, not discerning the
Lords Body.
Rev. w. E. Washington insttuting.
"This do We in Remembrance Of
Me-" The principal service is-the in
stituting of the Lords Supper, and it
is very easy to see why this is SO. It
was ordained by our Lord, Jesus
Christ, Himself. The Lords Supper
is founded ON His own words, His own
acts. Thus, this service stands much
higher than others. In fact, it is
upon a different footing altogether.
Christ ordained it at the time when
it made the deepect possible impress
sion upon His disciples-and it was
the last night of His life.
The disciples did not know then 1t
was His last night. His death was
hidden from them. Still, as they sat
at the Passover, His words and mani
ner were so full Of solemn tenderness
and profound meaning, that they
sensed that separation was soon corn=
ing, and what He wanted them to re-
member, was what He was saying to
them always.

The Voice OfThe Legion

We are glad to return to the old
bailiwieE we are glad to find the
Twin City Herald still doing bust
ness at the old stand.
"reminiscences of the old contact
Baker Post had with this worthy
paper are pleasant. When we were
too full of childish enthusiasm, here
we found much sound advice. When
we were discouraged, here we often
found much needed encouragement.
When we were in the doldrums, which
was often, here was spur. Now,
after time has taken it's toll of so
many, and so much, to still find the
warmth of old friendships, is some
thing to mellow the cynic, and glad
den the chill countenance. The con-
vention which has just ended at
Brainerd, not only fired the old en-
thusiasm, but it had something that
made it's visitors forget the more
prosaic. 1t was big parade they
had, in that little town of many
parades. It was no doubt a treat to
many onlookers, but comrade Posten,
our Adjutant, and an unusually
quick thinking man, was forced into
an unusual state of absentminded-
hess.
We met him the other night, and
noticed a slight limp. Naturally, we
asked regarding it. "You know ]
carried one Of the flags in the big
parade, but it was only yesterday
that I noticed it had given me a
bunion the size of an onion"
All of which recalls the time Com.
rade Moore and I excitedly rushed
to convention, each forgetting tc
take necessary change of socks
VIE got by all right tho, each morn
ing we traded with each other, and
hardly knew the difference.
Baker Post, we believe, has
emerged from it's metamorphosis a
stronger and wiser organization. The
Commander has the full confidence
of the membership, an unheard OF
thing; and judging from the reports
of the membership committees, most
of the ex-soldiery outside. Should ]
say more?

Mr.. Peery, Editor
Twin City Herald,
248 4th Ave. S.

Dear Sir:
I have been requested so many
times to give my views on the case
of Rayfield Johnson, that in Justice
Judge w. w. Bardwell, whom con-
slider as one of my best friends, and
also true friend of our race. That,
Mr.. Peery, you will publish this let
ter.
All the facts in this case or counts
in the indictment were not presented,
due to the pleadings of the people
of our race. who did not want this
adverse publicity brought on them
by an outsider, and immoral leper
from Texas.
Judge w. w. Bardwell acted favor
ably on every suggestion put to him
by members of our race.
The statements made by the Judge
were in bitter condemnation and
censure of man, who guilty of great
immortality, suffered no remorse at the
wrong he had done or harm to his
race.
The effort the Judge made to show
the defendant the guilt of his, the
defendants, acts, in his summing up of
the case, was just portrayal of what
would have been in store for him
had he, the defendant, been in Texas,
where SO fair a trial and the justice
of His, Judge w. w. Bardwells court,
would have been impossible.
That his plea of guilty to some of
the counts of the Indictment, that he
was found guilty of, and so judged,
was but waste of clemency upon
him, but favor to all our race, who
have the ability to appreciate it.
Yours truly,
r. w. Marshall.

The revival of slavery at the close
of the Middle Ages and the beginning
Of the system of Negro slavery were
due to the commercial expansion Of
Portugal in the 18th century. In
1441; Prince Henry sent out one
Gonzales, who captured three Moors
on the African coast. These offered
as ransom, ten Negroes, whom they
had taken. The Negroes were brought
to Lisbon in 1442, and in 1444 Prince
Henry regularly began the European
trade from the Guinea coast.
For fifty years his country enjoyed
a monopoly of the traffic. The slaves
were taken at first to Europe and
later to the Spanish possessions in
America, where Indian slavery did
not work well:
In 1888, thirty Negroes assisted
Balboa (who discovered the Pacific
ocean, in building the first ships made
on the Pacific coast of America.
Slavery was forbidden in the colony
of Georgia between 1888 to 1749.
1886, in the city of New Orleans,
855 free people of color paid taxes on
property assessed at $2,462,470, and
owned 620 slaves. In 1860, their
property holdings amounted to $751;
100000.
Six years after the first Negroes
were brought to the colony (1625),
there were in Virginia only %
Negroes, IL male and II female. The
Negro population of Virginia in 1774,
was 100000.
A slave ship captain always counted
on losing on the voyage one-fourth
of his cargo of claves. (Sick and dead
thrown overboard.)
About 1900, a Negro, the Rev. John
Chavis, passed through regular
course of academic studies at Wash
ington Academy, now Washington and
Lee U.
Between 1915-1924, one million
Negroes migrated from their old set
ting in the rural South to the highly
industrialized North.
On his accession to the Spanish
throne, Charles v granted license for
the introduction (into America) Of
Negroes to the number of 400.
October 16, 1859, John Brown
with nineteen assistants, five of whom
were Negroes, captured the arsenal at
Harper's Ferry.
The Roman Catholic Church. in
1888, appointed its first Negro priests
in the United States.
In 1886, among the regular men,
bers of the Methodist Churches in
thsi country, were 1890 Negroes.
