Billy Sunday Asks Equalty for Race For Colored Women at Great Service in Providence, R. I.—Speaks After Colored Singers as Chorus Have Taken Palce of Regular Chorus and They Have Won the Audience—“If Race Good Enough to Fight and Buy Liberty Bonds, Their Girls Good Enough to Work Alongside Any White Girl in Munitions Fac tories.” Providence, R. I.—Last Sunday night before an audience of over ten thousand people at the Billy Sunday tabernacle in Providence, there ap peared a chorus of l,2d0 Colored voices, who were invited by Mr. Sun day to sing the folk songs so dear to the heart of every American. The usual choir was dispensed with and the Colored occupied their place. Such singing will long be remem bered by ‘.he thousands who heard, and the tumultous applause was evi dence of the pleasure the singers gave. Prof Elmer Leon Payn was unani mously chosen as the conductor, and as a local journal put it, “brought out everything there was in the voices and the music.” It was a revelation to all present, and never again per I haps will such wonderful music be j heard in this city. The chorus sang the old Spirituals and one or two modem works of the Negro. Mr. Sunday evinced the most lively interest and actually wept, so moved was he. He paid a glowing tribute to the race and among other things said, “If the Negro is good enough to fight in the trenches and to buy Liberty Bonds, his girl is good enough to work alongside any w'hite girl in the munitions factories.” George Wells Barker will deliver his famous lecture, “The Children of the Sun,” at Calvary Baptist church, 25th and Hamilton, Thursday evening. December 12, at 8 o'clock. It will be for the benefit of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. AVO I ) EPID MICS 1 INSURE YOUR WAGES ; AGAINST SICKNESS AND ACCIDENT WITH THE CONTINENTAL CASUALTY COMPANY | A.

This minimizing has not been of set purpose; the clubs for man and wom en, the attempt to let luxury and material things make home instead of things spiritual and the many attrac- | tions which contribute to the pleas ure of bo'h young and old have turned our hearts in too great a degree from the home. The human race is one, the psycho logists tell us, and it has one com mon destiny. This world war has | brought to our attention the potent j influence of the home upon the com mon destiny., The greatest winning force of this was its clean, fearless, intelligent j young manhood, reflecting directly the influences of the home. Secretary of the Navy Daniels said: "Of all the sacrifices that have been made for our country in this war, there is no sacrifice so heroic, so terrible as the j sacrifice of the mother who sends her son in his strong, clean, young man hood from the protecting influences of his home to live, to fight, to die, if needs be. No army of degenerates could win in the gruelling test of en durance of modem warfare against an army of clean young men with all their vigor of body and mind unim paired fresh from the lofty influences of the home.” Thus has tlhe home been magnified among the nations of . the world. Then, too, its sacredness. j its charm have all been magnified in the hearts of thos*e who gave up home j and loved ones to fight that the free dom of these homes might endure. How often they dream of moiher and father and loved ones and long for the comfort, the glory', the love that awaits them at home. It is an indefinable something of the spirit, a personal, living creation wrought by' husband and wife, by par ents and children that makes home, be it humble or marked by the lux uries of wealth, the dearest place on earth. How surely shall the love of home endure. Its power, its influence shall go on forever. Let us magnify anew its charms, its happiness, its sacredness. L. S. E. -I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for ; there are those who care; I would be j strong, for there is much to suffer; | I would be brave, for there is much to dare; I would be a friend to all, '.he foe, the friendless, I would be giving and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness; I would look up and laugh and love and lift.—Harper’s. BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE _ If you have a gray-haired mother In the old home far away, Sit you down and write the letter You put off from day to day. Don’t wait until her weary steps Reach heaven’s pearly gate, But show her that you think of her Before it is too late. If you have a tender message, Or a loving word to say, Don’t wait till you forget it, But whisper it today. Who knows what bitter memories May haunt you if you wait, So make your loved one happy Befre it s too late. The tender words unspoken, The letters never sent, The long-forgotten messages. The wealth of love unspent— For these some hearts are breaking, For these some loved ones wait; Show them that you care for them Before it is too late. —George Bancroft Griffith.

' NEW YORK GOVERNOR WELCOMES HEROES One Hundred Wounded American Sol diers, Fifteen Colored, Given Ova tion by Broadway Crowd. New York, Nov. 21.—One hundred wounded American soldiers, IB of whom were Colored men from the famous lBth New York infantry, who have been in the thick of the fight ing in France, were honored Thurs day afternoon by cheering thousands I at Battery Park, lower Broadway, in ! City Hall Park, and finally by Mayor Hylan in his official capacity. The men were‘from the United States Debarkation Hospital No. 1, Ellis Island. They came across from France recently to recover from ■heir wounds, but many of them had left an arm or a leg on the battle fields, and will be crippled as long as they live. On the breasts of some were the coveted Croix de Guerre, received for gallantly in action, while others proudly displayed the Distinguished Service Medal. Many wore green or red cords over their left shoulders, showing '.hat they were of regiments that had been decorated for bravery'. Every man had one or more little gold chevrons on his right sleeve, showing that he had been wounded in the fighting, and all wore similar chevrons on their left sleeves, testi mony of their services in France. All of the hundred who were able to walk about without crutches formed 'on the Battery and preceded by a band from the navy yard in Brooklyn * playing stirring tunes, inarched from the Battery up Broadway to City Hall Park. Those who were unable to walk rode in automobiles driven by women of the motor service of the American Red Cross.
