Y. W. C. A. NOTES
By O. J. 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

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.
The evening services were held in
the old church at which time a drama
“The First Easter Day” was present
ed, with special music by the choir.
ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH
23(h and R Sts. 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. The regular
Easter program will he given Sun
day at 7:00 P. M. All are invited to
be present and encourage the chil
dren. The Senior Choir sings at 11
A. M. and the Juniors at the evening
services.
Jacob Showers, an aged man of our
church, was run over by an auto and
his leg was broken as a result. He
is now at St. Joseph’s Hospital get
ting along nicely.
Mrs. Anna Johnson was able to be
out Sunday morning.
N. A. A. C. P.
Mr. Walter F. White, assistant sec
retary of the N. A. A C. P., has been
in the city for the purpose of awak
ening interest in that worthy insti
tution.
He addressed a group of ministers
at the Ministerial Alliance Tuesday
morning. Tuesday evening he ad
dressed a representative group of cit
izens at the St. Paul Presbyterian
Church.
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.”
