PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN At the evening service Dr. Patton, a prominent member of the Lowe Avenue church and an old college mate of the pastor, was present and at the close of the servicee spoke words very commendatory to the work being done In the church. It was delightful to see four elders present to assist in the administration of the Lord’s Supper. This is what has been striven for a long time Topic Sunday morning, “The King dom of Heaven Is Within You." Even ing, “Have Faith in God.” Christian Endeavor, “My Decisions and Whi.t They Have Meant to Me.'* ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK With W. A. Jackson of the Billboard (For the Associated Negro Press) At last the general Press seems to have discovered the fact that there is considerable intelligence among the Pullman porters. It took an unusual occurrence, the invitation from Dart mouth College to one Mr. Ford of the Pullman service to speak before the transportation class, to get the public ear. Some years ago, in a dis pute, the writer offered to fill any position within the gift of the em ployment manager of a great na tionally-known corporation with men recruited from the porters and wait ers from the railway yards in New York, or any other terminal without regard to the training required. So certain were we from observations made as a railway waiter, porter and policeman that had given us many years of intimate knowledge of the personnel of these services. Now that front page stuff has been made of them, and ponderous editor ial comment has been made, we won der if the space writers and leg boys will continue to put slave day dialect into the mouths of these men when ever they have occasion to interview or mention them. If they do, I know a lot of brownstone front Clubs and other gathering places where these folk gather that those Same puerile writers will continue to be either laughed at outright or smiled at with tolerant contempt. Gee, how I wish some smart aleck white writers could see how pitiable they are in the eyes of these porters and the like whom they presume to make the butt of their ignorant comedy efforts. The day is gone when just to be a Negro makes it reasonable to pre sume ignorance. Many Negroes are porters, not for lack of knowledge; but because of the insincerity of American democracy whose inconsist ency educates them for every known trade and profession, then wastes that expensive education by closing the door of opportunity to the youth of the Race. Under similar circumstan ces, the much vaunted caucausion would commit suicide; but the Negro has courage. He becomes a porter and carries on. Spring weather certainly brings ’em out. The corner at 135th Street and Lenox Avenue was crowded with enough artists to cast a half dozen musical comedies during those nice days of last week, while down on Broadway, pshaw, we saw everybody. Even ran into little Miss Quan, the pianist whom we had the honor of meeting in the hotel Sterling in Cin cinnati two years since, and who has been with Leonard Harper’s review since before Christmas. Saw the By ron Brothers, too. They actually came as far as the Billboard office. That’s going some, for the old gentlemen. Remember when they were billed as boys? On Sunday, down at Cooper Union, Herbert Harrison lectured on “Rep arations.” This, we believe makes tbe first time a Negro has been invited to discuss an international subject in the famed auditorium. Princess Mysteria who was the fea tured attraction for the re-opening of the Putnam theatre in Brooklyn, has retained Councellor Henry J. Parrell, to collect a balance due on salary. This with the complains of choristers who played the house with a tabloid show, don’t sound very auspicious for the new management. A. G. Brooks, secretary of the Dressing Room Club, with Prof. Pack er Ramsay, Maharajah, Adenta L. Chappel, a contralto and L. Goodman the calculator presented a program for Rush Memorial Church on March 31. Earlier in the week, Sam Wood ings orchestra from “The Nest” pre esnted the boys at the Y. M. C. A. with an evenings entertainment. Prof. Montgomery Gregory lectured on Sunday at the Y. M. C. A. on dra matic art. He is in charge of that de partment at Howard University. s.. The Rev. Charles Douglas, Grand * Chaplain of the most worshipful i Grand Lodge of Prince Hall Masons 5 of the state of New York and Juris- 3 diction has just returned from a seven 3 months tour of Europe and the his- 2 torical lands of Palestine. The lat- J ter, he studied with especial atten- 3 tion to the Masonic traditions that j have their origin there. On March 24, a group of more than a hundred 3 of the more studious craftsmen ten- 3 dered him a dinner at Craigs restau- .j rant to signalize his return to his 3 , home in New York. They were re- j , warded by hearing one of the most •] interesting discourses upon Masonic 3 matters that has been offered in the J city in years. He is a 32 degree Ma- j son and studied his subjects with a .j full background of intimate know- 3 ledge. "I \ EDUCATOR MILLIONAIRE - 1 Greensboro, N. C., April 11.—Dr. 3 D. C.
