"World in Boston Exposition" al
Mechanics building in 1911. Having
been ordained Deacon and Elder by
Bishop Walters he has continued his
work in Zion A.ME. Church at Column

logy, his Sunday School Teacher
Training Course, and his address on
Teacher training in Zion," inspired
his election as president of the Sunday
School Union of the New England
Conference of the A.ME Zion Church
Rev. PowelPs church work did NOT
prevent him from entering other fields
of education. We find him graduating
from Wendell Phillips School, Boston
and as a student at Boston Evening
High School in 1928. He graduated
in Stenography in 1884. In 1887 he
was the private stenographer for the
late Rev. Edward Everett Hale. DID.
famous Boston preacher, author and
philanthropist As a public stenogra-
pher his clients included such men of
distinction as Booker Washington. He
was the stenographer for the Thomp-
sOn-Houston (now GeneraD Electric
Company of Boston. All of these posi-
tons were filed with credit not only to
himself, but to his race and to his fell
low man.
We mention his literary training and
experience with a great deal of pride.
To be able to instruct group of
twenty-three persons and to take them
on "An Imaginary Trip from Boston
to China, via San Francisco, and have
all of them write of their personal ex-
periences, describing the scenes, the
people they met, the customs of the
people they encountered, and to have
it printed in a two hundred page book,
was something novel, unique and ad-
mlrabe. We must ask in all sincerity,
how did he do it? Pm sure with that
spirit that is bubbling over with infor-
nation, he will gladly tell us His
book Birds Eye View" of the Louis
vile General Conference, printed by
the Lavalle Press, is an Historic
Document" that should be in the homes
of every person not only of the A.ME.
Zion Church, but in libraries of every
colored family in Massachusetts. 1t
should be in our public libraries. His
two latest books, Echoes of Christian
Education" published and copyrighted
in 1884, and his book Thrilling No
ments on Palestine Tour" are gems
each in its own way, and certainly
worthy of a place among the archives
for future generations.
1t is no small achievement to believe
in, and live what one believes. If we
can describe a Christian, surely to be
in the presence of Rev. Jacob W.
Powell, is to feel that sense of reality
of what the term implies. l am hon
ored to have known him. He is the
most active young Man" at Zion and
truly an "Old Bostonian" of whom
future generations can point to with
pride.

DR.. MAX YERGAN

Next Wednesday evening Boston
will have the pleasure and privilege of
becoming better acquainted with DIR.
Max Yergan, the new president of the
National Colored Congress, who will
be the main speaker at mass meeting
of the Eastern New England Congress
for Equal Opportunities at Columbus
Avenue A. NJ. E. Zion Church.
For seventeen years DIR. Yergan was
Y. M. c. A. secretary in the Union
of South Africa. His work brought
him in close contact with the native
population, the Bantu people who
number about 100000. He grew
familiar at frst-hand with the repres-
sive native policy which British rule
condones, although it was first in
stltuted by the barbarous Dutch Beers.
Verify, DR.. Yergan, who is now an out
spoken advocate of peace and against
imperialist war, learned his lessons in
a hard school.
As chairman of the International
Committee on African Affairs, he has
been a champion of the democratic
rights which the Africans, West, East.
and South, have sought to wrest from
the British and French governments.
lie has helped to guide their economic
aspirations along productive channels,
by agltating for consumers and pro-
dueers' co-operatives in those areas of
Africa which are largely agricultural.
DR.. Yergan's scholarship has been
slngularly recognized by his appoint
ment TO the faculty of the College of
the City of New York. His support
OF liberal and progressive enterprises
Is indicated by his status on the board
OF Equality magazine and by his mem
oershlp on nearly every committee that
genuinely espouses the cause of civil
liberties and better opportunities for
under-prlvileged Americans.

traditions of New England as SYMBOL

Christmas, that time most
dear to good Christian people,
is drawing near again. Perhaps
never before inhuman history
has the message of Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men" been
more meaningful or more neec-
ed than now. Now indeed we
may think earnestly and Serl-
ously of the message and GIT
of December Is.
The institution most pro
foundry influenced by Christ
mas is, of course, the church:
Christmas time is also one OF
special gladness in Christian
homes. Schools too are strongly
affected by the Christmas sea-
son. The children love it. Their
thoughts and actions reflect. to
a marked degree, the Christmas
spirit. Happily and eXcltedly
they draw names for presents,
plan their parties, decorate
their rooms, and prepare their
programs.
The days Immediately pre-
ceeding the holidays are siren
uous and trying days for the
teachers. They are days OF
much additional work and wor-
ny. The Christmas vacation is
not only well earned by the
teachers, in many cases IT IS
practically a necessity. Yet they
too look forward to the Christ
mas season with pleasant aHtlc-
ipation and, almost invariably,
they look back upon the season
with cherished memories. Find
a teacher who diSlikeS the pre-
parationS for Christmas, whose
heart is not warmed by the
sight of a child's efforts to eX-
press the Christmas spirit, who
is not thrilled by children's vol
ces singing a Christmas carol,
and, in this writer's opinion,
who will have found a missfit.
Last year We found a place
in the Christmas program for
nearly every one of our 100 pu-
pills. 1t proved to be an ambi-
tious undertaking and, since our
enrolment has increased by
more than thirty students this
year, we will not attempt to in
clude all students. In the belief
that the Christmas program
means most to the smaller chill
dren, and furthermore, that
most parents and other school
patrons prefer seeing the small
er children in the program, we
of the school have decided upon
a program which takes 100 stu
dents from the lower grades.

st. Xavier public school will be
