IN MEMORLAM

June, 1878 Jan. 4, 1928
In loving memory Of
OUR MOTHER
Whose love can equal the love
Of our mother,
Whose devotion was loyal and
true,
Who suffered so much with joy
for us,
Who worked with such pleas
ure as-our mother
We hail with delight the
friendship of Others,
We reyel in love with the
friends we have found,
Yet, where did we find a friend
like mother?
Not till death had called and
her life's task was done.
Gone but not forgotten by
her sons and daughter,

A Resolution For
The New Year

Resolved To live with all
my might while l do live"
Such a resolution is worthy
of the keeping, for it calls for
the best that each and every
one Of us has to give, Phillips
Brooks once wrote DO not
pray for easy lives. Pray to be
stronger men. Do not pray fer
tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your
tasks. Then the doing of your
work shall be no miracle, but
you shall be a miracle"
That is what we need to do
this coming year-to rise to
the demands that will be made
upon us-not to translate
those demands into what we
want TO do. Most OF us can do
a lot more than we are doing
most of us can give a lot more
than we are giving-in our
homes, our unions, our COM
munities, our nation. We must
live with all our might TO-DAY
when the fight for right is at
our very doorsteps.
Overseas the hapless people
of the conquered and subju-
gated nations are forced into
acts utterly foreign to their
own religious and national
ideals, while in the totalitarian
countries, the souls as we'll as
the bodies of men are rsgi-
mented. They hate and wor-

has resulted in his abundant

1t was a great pleasure to
witness a performance of Duke
Ellington and his orchestra at
the Howard Theatre last week
for the first time in more than
two years. 1t brought back fond
memories to this writer who ten
years ago conducted a nation
wide popularity contest, at
which time Duke Ellington was
crowned "King of Jazz" by pop
ular demand, He has held high
the banner of supremacy in the
music world, having excelled all
his contemporaries In many
ways.
l was glad to meet the Duke
for the first time in New York
City when he and his clever
little outfit, although unknown,
was booked at the Club Holly
wood, which later became the
Kentucky Club, at 49th and
Broadway. From that time the
Duke has been in demand on
the Gay White Way. ..
During the past two years he
has taken his stand in Holly
wood and the Pacific coast, and
has appeared in the largest and
finest resorts and theatres much
to the delight of the swank
movie colony, His picture ap-
pearances have been successful;
his recent cinema chore was in
the motion picture Cabin In
The Sky" soon to be released.
Ellington boasts with much
pride that most of his men are
seasoned musicians and have
been with him for many years
He gives them much of the
credit for his triumphant sue
cess. The record shows the men

COMMENTS ON CURRENT TOPICS
BY DIR. W. ALEXANDER cox

Christmas has passed for thus
season, and we are star ting
into the New Year. Coupling
our religion and science, we
must buckle down to hard
work for the solution of our
many problems.
We will discuss in this issue
the financial problem. To be-
gin with this is not a white
mans world, nor a white mans
country. 1t is Gods world and
belongs as, much to us as to
any other race.
All peoples have their prob
lens and their differences Of
opinion: their superiority and
inferiority- completes. But in
the final analysis, God made
man and woman, and they
are all there is to the human
race.
In any community where
people are backward in max
ing, financial progress, it is
because of indifference and
fear to venture. Particularly in
our group when we undertake
to talk business investment
and securities almost to an in
dividual we will begin to re-
count obstacles and setbacks.
Valuable time is used up in
discussing thousands of ways
we can make failures but not
single idea on how to make
success.
Most Of the litigation Of
property is a systematic in
vestigation for possible adj
iustment of the affairs of men
who have ventured into busin-
ess, encountered the obstacles
and Setbacks and made TAIL
ures.
Yet, If you go into the
business districts Of Boston,
you are face to face with bill
lions of dollars in property all
bristling with business and
employment. Here, you become
convinced that all business
ventures are not failures. 1t is
the work of men and women
just like us. Less than $50
years ago the city of Boston
as we know it was not here. It
was not started on money:
but brains.
Some business professors are
advancing the theory that You
can not train the brain. You
must have that to begin with.
It is the eyes, the ears, the
mouth, hands and feet, nouf-
ished by the food we eat which
get the training.
The problem that we Of
greater Boston must solve is
the problem of financial Sc

Money is now flowing
through the land like water.
We are getting a portion of it

mindful of the improbable

sation, but said: Depart
from me thou unproftablo
servant into utter darkness
This master was not quibblinp
for dubious voters. For the
story read the 25th chapter Of
Matthew.
If we are afraid, and lack
the courage and the temerity
to meet obstacles and set-
backs as a leader in business
then we should not pose as
such. We should profit by the
advice that Diogenes gave Al
exander the Great. Stand out
of thy brothers sunshine"
Today we see human secur-
tiles being built by political
expediency on false and de-
grading liberties. Stable gov
eminent is being seriously inn
paired. Our individuality Is
being dangerously emasculat-
ed. We are no longer a free
and independent people, but
in large numbers, wards and
dependents upon government
charities. We could at least o.
ganize and buy a good supply
Of War Bonds. At least that
would be start.

Brain and will power" PLUS
reading, writing and arithn.e-
tic is what creates business
When a man begins to spend
less than he earns it shows
that his brain has begun 70
work in the right directions
He becomes a capitalist.
