Burekhardt, Pastor Allen Chapel Under the superintendency of Mrs. Sadie Divers, the acting secretary of the Colored Branch of the Y. W. C. A., some things are being accomp lished for the good and development of the members of this local branch. They have just closed a week’s con vention in which Miss Cordelia Wynn, a national worker from New York City, gave a series of lectures that not only brouht inspiration to these noble women whose lives are wrapped up in the uplift of young womanhood of the race, but she laid down a prin ciple which if followed out cannot help but solve that spirit of disinter est that characterizes too many of the workers along these lines. She proved that no one ever accomplished anything of worth until they became enthused over the matter, until they were willing to put their hearts and minds into the work; then and not till then could they expect favorable results from the efforts put forth. CONGREGATION WORSHIPS IN NEW ST. JOHN’S CHURCH Large Congregations Present and Im pressive Services Are Held Easter 1923 was a day of great happiness and rejoicing among the members of St. John’s A. M. E. Church, and will go down in history as a red letter day among African Methodists in this city. At 10:00 A. M. the congregation, 500 strong, led by the Pastor ev. W. C. Williams, the Assistant Pastor Rev. John Adams, followed by the choir, the entire offiical family and auxiliaries, marched from the old church at 25th and Grant streets to • 22nd and Willis Ave., where for the 1 first time they worshipped in the ; spacious basement of the new church '■ which Is being erected there. ' The church was tastily decoratec > with Palms anil Easter flowers. The services were impressive. A great —.1 ■ B1MEMU iWB Ml lWfl JiMM JWIt ML MU Mi MI W j concourse of more than 1,000 persons heard the Rev. John Adams preach a magnificent sermon from the text, “Why Seek Ye the Living Midst the Dead ?” At 2:30 P. M. the Sunday school rendered a special Raster program, “Easter Day in Pantomime,” given by 20 scholars under the direction of Miss Gertrude Lucas and Mrs. Wil liam Ricks.

Market 3470 O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor Easter was a great day at Allen. The pastor preached night and morn ing from the text, “He is Not Here, But is Risen.” Large congregations attended both services.

There are many things both locally and nationally of so great moment to our group which this organization looks after that it seems unthinkable that so little attention is paid to it in our city. Si. A. A. C. P. PARTICIPATES IN CONFERENCE OF CIVIL RIGHTS BODIES New York, April 6.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was represented at an all-race conference held in New York City on March 23 and 24, and parti cipated in by the following organiza tions: The African Blood Brotherhood, The Friends of Negro Freedom, The International Uplift League, The Na tional Equal Rights League and the National Race Congress. At this conference Negro leaders met, discussed plans for working in harmony and issued and signed a concordat calling for common sup port by all organizations of the vari ous undertakings for the uplift and betterment of the Negro in America. It is planned to enroll in the all race movement, organizations of every sort, including religious, fraternal, so cial, educational, business and labor and the press. Speaking for the N. A. A. C. P., •lames Weldon Johnson said in part: “We can do two things here. We can exchange ideas, or we can attempt to accomplish something. Both things are good. We must bear in mind, however, that in the exchange of ideas there is no limit, but in accom plishment we are confronted by con ditions. “As to actual accomplishments what can this conference do? The signing of a concordat is one thing We have very often been handicapped among colored iteople themselves by the reports that there was antagon ism between the leaders. This is not so true as has been noised about. If we ever feel that the Negro is going to be one unified mass, however, we are bound to be disappointed, because he is a human being even before he is a Negro, and we are going to have human differences. Nevertheless the opinion that a great amount of dis cord exists between the leaders has done us a great deal of harm. This conference can accomplish much by sending out to the Negroes of the United States the inspiring news that the leaders have gotten together, al lowing for differences of opinion, and are working for a common end.” FOR RENT-—Three nicely furnished rooms for man and wife, or men.— !
