TALENT REMOVES PREJUDICE In a previous article we had the pleasure of giving a close-up view of D. Macon Webster, a distinguished lawyer of New York. This one will be devoted to a short narration how two of his daughters, the Misses Mar garet and Alma, won out against big odds in their desire to perfect them selves musically. Mr. Webster had invited me to his beautiful home in Brooklyn to meet his family. Mrs. Webster was every inch of her a thouroughbred, well educated and refined. Her pride was in her two daughters, 17 and 16 res pectively. Margaret sang and Alma played the piano. But they both needed finishing with good artists. The girls were much darker than their father, and they did not disguise their race—on the contrary, they were very proud of it. But this did not help them to enter the studio of a certain teacher who gave lessons in the ex clusive Carnegie hall building. This problem Mr. Webster confided to me and we set about solving the puzzle. My acquaintance with the musical profession was very extensive then and fortunately also I was not lack4 ing in nerve. I made an appointment with Mme. Z. (we shall omit her name) to take her out for a few visits in Brooklyn to introduce her to the family of Judge (laynor (the judge was then running for mayor of New York City) and others. Mme. Z. ac cepted with pleasure and offered to sing at some of the large political meetings to be held in favor of the great jurist’s candidacy. In a car, loaned to me for the occasion by Dr. O. M. Waller (of whom we shall have occasion to write at length) we first made a call upon the judge who ac cepted Mme. Z.’s offer with thanks; then upon Mr. Webster, the attorney for Wanamaker. It had been previously arranged that we should be received in Mr. Webster’s numismatic room, which had portieres dividing it from the music room. An associate in law of Mr. Webster was also to be there. The moment our auto would stop in front of the house, Alma was to com mence playing the Ava Maria and Margaret was to sing it (in Latin). We were to “rush" the thing, I on behalf of the guest and Webster on behalf of his associate. Everything went through as planned—and with a happy result. Mme. Z. opened her eyes as wide as nature allowed and wistfully looked towards the portieres, her eyes in dicating a desire to meet the singer and player. Mr. Webster was very gracious, quickly explaining that his daughters were running over in final rehearsal the selection which would he rendered at a church recital that evening. Mme. Z. asked with whom the young ladies were studying and I suggested they would like to study with Mme. Z.—“I should be delighted to have such talent!" exclaimed Mme. Z.—“You will have them!” cheerful ly responded M r. Webster, and just then the last note was sung in the adjoining room, the lights there went out, and a few moments later we heard the outside door open and close, ••• '!*•!* **♦ »V% «'• ••• and Mme. Z. looked disappointed.— “I am sorry, Mme. Z., that I did not have the pleasure to present my daughters to you, but—I inter rupted him with, “Mr. Webster, we have other calls to make, will you and your friend join us in the car until ,we are through calling?”—Mme. Z. joined me in the request, and at this moment Mr. Webster’s associate an nounced that he was sorry they had another very important appointment, hinting to his friend Macon to close the contract then and there. Mme. Z. did not understand the legal sug gestion, but Dorsey Macon Webster did. and acted on the spot. He pulled out a roll of bills (when 1 think of that roll, a wish comes to me right now that—I had it now) and offered $100 bill to Mme. Z. She hesitated, did not grasp the situation at all— but I asked her, "Would you really like to develop the talent of the girl whom you just heard ?”—“Why, of course, Mr. Goodman. Talent of this kind removes all barriers—even lack of time.”—I told her to mpet Mr. Webster’s offer with an acceptance and further details might be arranged at her studio in his office. Thus Margaret Webster became the pupil of Mme. Z. and rounded out her musical training with a world famous singer and teacher. It was not the money, it was the talent that removed prejudice—one of the strongest human barriers. E. B. GOODMAN. THE ST. PAUL PRES BYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets— Russel Taylor, Pastor. Next Sunday marks the beginning of the third quarter of the ecclesias tical year. This means that every member and friend of the church must bend every effort to put over the pro gram suggested by our general as sembly and the presbytery. Let us do much, pray much, expect much. “The harvest truly is ripe, the labor ers are few.” The entertainment given by our Indian friends was not the success we had hoped for it. Not being used to city travelling, they we re nearly two hours coming from the Ak-Sar Ben frields to the church. This of necessity made them curtail their pro gram. It is desired that every communic ant be present next Sunday for our quarterly communiorv These have al ways proven blessed occasions, and it is well to ever take advantage of them. The sermon topic Sunday morning will be, “The Price of Our Redemp tion”. Special music will be furnish ed by the male quartet. The discourse Sunday evening will be, “The Patmos Vision.” At 7:15 p. m. the Christian En deavor will hold its regular monthly consecration meetings, which will be led bv the pastor. The topic is, “Bet ter Work”. Endeavorers, remember your pledge! Send the missionaries to Europe in stead of Africa. - - - ■■■-. . . .. ^r~, 7 j ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 5233 So. 25th St.—Phone Market 3475. O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor. Sunday was indeed a lively time with the members and friends of Al len chapel, both young and old, who expressed themselves a.- being highly pleased over the return of their pas tor, who is a pastor of all who come in touch with him. Large congregations attended all the services Sunday, many strangers among them. A soul Stirling class meeting followed the 11 o’clock ser mon, led by Mr. Herman. A great many people in Omaha that do not attend church anywhere, you should remember that practically all that has been done- for us as a race has come through the church. This is true whether you are honest enough to admit it or not. So all intelligent and race loving people should attend some church at least once a week. Strangers to the city will find a cor dial welcome at any church you should choose to attend and Allen chapel’s pastor and members give you a spe cial invitation to come and be at home in our services.
