The entertainment is called "The Heart of Emancipation" and is presented musically to express the tragic circumstance of a race of dependent people whose experiences were for years directed by white masters, but who were forced by a great war to solve their problems.

Clark Smith, Secretary of the local, colored Y. M. and his Choral Union and orchestra for the White Shriners stated, 'Capt. Smith was doing a great work for his race by puttng into modern dramatic form a theme, which makes much clearer to the white race what are the inspirations of his people." Our opinion is he is doing still more, he in this effort produced and showed to the white man that all Negroes are not as he too often likes to judge them. He demonstrated the fact, that the Negro race like as any other race, has refinement and culture, that It Is all ly composed of trifles.

The occasions of groat joys like those of great sorrows and few and far between but every day brings us good we will but gather it. As we go about looking for great pleasures trampling over many things unheeded and calling them small which might afford the greatest of pleasure. Such life in trifles and we may find that trials would play a greater important part in the moulding and shaping of our lives. As we no doubt remember when we were young that we had great ideas as to what we would do and become rich and independent in a short time. But as we advance in age and ventured out at leisure we will flud that joy and grief are never far apart.

One day may bring happiness and much of dventure and the next may be full of disappointments. Tears anu laughter are twin born. Do not let the trials and disappointments be au inpediment to your hap-pines. They are sent for your good. God knows what key in our human soul to touch in ordr to draw out its sweetest and most prefect harmonies.

These may be the strains of saddness and sorrow as well as the loftier notes of joy and gladness. Think not that uninteruppted joy is good. Trials may come iu a thousand different homes. They come in the warm throbing of our youthful hearts, torn-rot for the white man to be ever selecting the lowest Negro putting thedeavor He snows the plantatlon Peoria, 111.

Red before Men's Bible Class at Calvary Baptist Church. After pondering over a number of subjects I find myself confronted with these small and troublesome words. Although they may be small 1 am sure that everyone will agree that the success of one's life is handt caped by trifles and trials.

It is stated that every man who does "not succeed has just as great a talent as the one who succeeds, but it is not talent alone that a man must possess, it is durability. Many a person has started out on a large achle-nient to accomplish. Thinking that bis task is so large that inspite of the many briliant be lacks the power of properly estiamting the value of trifles. Through an estimation of the results ot his labor, he will do great things. But the many little things that will happen and will have to be mastered may cause disgust and drudgery which is a requisite lor their accomplishment.

Such men bewail their fate. Failing to do the small task of life they have no call to the higher ones and so complain of neglect. As the universe itself is composed of minute atoms, so it is the litlte details, mer trifles which go to make a success in any calling. Attention to details is an element of effectiveness which no reach of plan, no lot'tt ness of design, no enthusiasm of can dispense with. It is this which makes the difference between the practical man who pushes ais thoughts to a useful result, and the mere dreamer.

If we do much good in the world we must be willing to do good with the little things. Still I say there are no trifles in life. The little things that accumu late in the character of age and destiny is the sum that makes up the grand total of life. It is the great things that come seldom and are often unrecognized until they have passed. As it is said if a man conceives the idea of becoming eniment in learnrHg and can not toil through the many little drudgeries necessary to carry him on his learning may soon be told, or if any one under takes to become rich, but despises the small and gradual advance by which wealth is or-dinarly acquired hie xepectations will be the sum of his riches.

As Mr. J. D. Rockyfellow who came to this country a few years ago almost a begger and by his steady ad providing he will take the scout oalh tape line around him and measuring the whole race by his deeds and geij; enyt character. We can see further that it was a great step towards linking closer the better thinking white man and Negro.

I The report of the engineers is in tne hands of the legislative committee on The surprises were reciprocal all ience trials. Life all sunshine without shade, all happiness without sorrow, all pleasures without pains were no life at all, at least not human life.

Take the life of the happiest. It is tangled yarn; it is made up of joys and sorrows and the joys are all the sweeter because of the sorrows. Even death itself makes life more loving. They may be hard to take though they strengthen the soul. Tonics are always bitter.

As it may be seen that if a man was happy and was totally with our sorrow while on earth, he would never be happy in heaven where life is a continued flow of milk and honey. He would be complaining that heaven was not what some people say it is. Owing to the fact that he dd not know-no wto enjoy eternal happiness. The greatest misfortune of all is not to be able to bear misfortune. Not around and the applause was gen erous.

It Is Interesting to see how all efforts have been turned keep Mr. finds us; it softens or hardnes the heart of its victim. Every man deems that he has precisely the most trials and temptations which are hardest for him to bear. From the manner in which men bear conditions we shall often pity the prbperous and envy the unfortunate. To mourn with measure is folly; not to mourn at all Is insensibility.

Regardless of what business or profession we may follow it demands the closest atention to a mas3 of little apparently insignificiant details, then we comprehend why it is that the patient plodder, the slow but sure man, so unusually surpasses the genius who had such a brilliant career in college. The successful business man at home surrounded by articles of luxury is a spectable calculated to spur on the toiler.

It is not only the toiler who has trifles to contend but the merchant as well who spends hours in his ledger, while we are foolishly spending our money or our laurels per capturing the trifles, trying to find a trifling few cents that has sllped his memory.
