ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH
Henderson Reddick, Pastor
(By L. c. Copes)

Sundays worship periods, Of which
there were three, were splendid. In
the morning Mrs. Sally Thomas
brought forth a most soul stirring mes
sage that was indeed a spiritual feast.
In the afternoon the Missionary Rally
was a success. This rally featured a
sermonette by Rev. Reddick and a
short but interesting program. AS us
ual the Bible Study Class with Rev.
Albert as the instructor was very good.
Rev. Reddick asks that all class lead
ers see Mrs. Leila Smith, Secretary Of
Stewardess Board
In the absence Of Rev. Reddick who
will be enjoying what all members OF
the Church hope will be restful and
peaceful vacation Rev. Albert will be
in charge Of the pulpit for the next
three Sundays. Sunday Rev. Albert
has chosen a most fitting subject and
text, for he will speak on Moses, the
Labor Leader, using as a text the Ten
Commandments. The sermon should
be of special interest to all who are in
terested in the turbulent labor state of
affairs, perhaps in Moses and his phil
osophy we might find remedy that
will eliminate the evils of our present
capital and labor set1p.
The Trustee Board wishes to thank
all for their splendid cooperation
toward making a payment on the
mortgage possible.
See you Sunday!

WHITE TENANTS BLOCK
EVICTION OF NEGROES

New Yorl's tenant organization this
week were celebrating a partial victory
against landlord discrimination follow,
ing court decision granting Negro
family the maximum six months stay
of eviction.
The landlord, the estate of Max Els
man, 271 Madison avenue, sought to
evict the Rev. Alger L. Adams and his
wife, Jessie Wells, a social worker
from II Lexington avenue, because OF
their race.
In a ruling following legal battle
royal, Municipal Court Justice Charles
]. Garrison granted the couple the
maximum time extenton allowed in
disposses proceedings to find another
apartment
Adams moved two years ago into the
building at II Lexington avenue, which
is also occupied by nine other families,
all white. The new tenants got along
nicely with the white tenants. How
ever, the landlords, in May, 1893, sud
denly sought to evict the couple, with
out warning or explanation. The white
citizens rallied to protest the discrim-
inatory act and signed a petition of
protest, causing the landlords to with
draw the dispoSsess.

NEGRO GENIUS EXHIBITS
WORK AT HARLEM FAIR
By Eugene Gordon
(Features Writer, CNA)

New York, July-A small display
case holding peanut, potato, and clay
products discovered and developed in
his Tuskegee Institute laboratory by
DR.. George Washington Carver is per-
haps the most interesting and the most
significant of all the exhibits in the
Negro Industrial Fair, on the top floor
of 1872 West 125th Street, this city.
This exhibit, although scanty, when
compared with the hundreds of items
which DIR. Carver has been able to
evolve from peanuts, clay, sweet po-
tatoes and other homely Southern pro-
ducts, is nevertheless one of the most
important ever displayed by the people
of Harlem.
The Carver exhibit occupies one oil

GIANTS AND MONARCHS PLAY
TO FIVE THOUSAND

The Kansas City Monarchs, and the
Chicago Giants renewed their old ri
va1ry at Lexington Park, Tuesday, eve
ming before between four and five
thousand fans.
That Kansas City was we'll repre-
sented among the followers of horse
hide hitters was evidenced by the
come on you Kansas City's" that con
tinually roared in the grand stand.
The game was in itself one of those
peculiarly interesting features of show
manship of which only Colored Teams
are capable.
Neither team was as sharp as we
have seen them, there seemed to be
certain loginess, that evidently came
from a lack of limbering up after a
long bus ride.
Feature OF the evening was the ex-
h1bltion by Pepper BaSSet, Giant
catcher who decided to play his po-
sition in rocking chair for one inning.
Amusing, it did not curb his interest
in what he was out there to do, for
when Stearns attempted to steal Sc
ccnd, Basset forgot he was sitting and
attempted a peg to second base. His
arm caught on the back of the chair
and the ball lit between the pitchers
box and the runner.
He finished the inning standing up.
The transformers left Immediately
following the game, for Fargo, from
whence they will journey to Winnipeg
for another session.

In garden where girl roses grow.

See her creep from the brothel where

She's brazen (yet fearfuD where shad-

She's game for the brutes who stab
her thru lust,
Pay a price! and then safely retreat

RADIO TALKS over WMEX
By Simpson Turner
GRATITUDE
Presented by Sheloh KhalI's
Electric Choir


Standing in fear, yet in anxious
faith-nine lepers, who had tried all
the doctors of that town, and visited
all the institutions in search of a cure
had at last come into the presence of
the Doctor above all doctors and be-
come Immediately cleansed.
While in their suffering there was
no price too great, no sacrifice too
deep, no suffering too severe that they
would not undertake in the obtaining
of cure. In the midst of their try
ing there came one without price,
without consideration of worthiness
but, through the power of a merciful
and compassionate love, cleansed them
and sent them on their way.
One returned to say thanks, while
the other eight were never to be found
again. 1t is so easy to forget, once
we are lifted from the pit; It's easy to
forget hunger, once we are fed; it's
easy to FORGET those homeless nights,
once we have shelter. The greatest
curse ever showered on mankind is
that of ingratitude.
Ills easy to praise those who have
done nothing for us if they be in high
position and to forget the struggle
that the poor, the rejected, and the
despised had gone through in the
making of us:-but he that burns the
bridge that has taken him over, that
has accepted service from a source
which he is ashamed to acknowledge,
who has grown too important for the
environment that has made him, too
big for the family that has raised him,
too rich for the home that has shell
tered him, too good for the friends
that befriended him shall only prosper
for time-like the flower that blooms
in the field and is dried and scattered
by the wind.
There can be no success material or
spiritual, without gratitude, for the
man that fails to appreciate his fellow
man can never appreciate or be ap-
preciated by God.
So let US thank Him not only by
singing the songs of praise but by
serving him through our fellowman.
loving him through our brother and
