The first week in November, begin- ning with Sunday, the 3rd, will be a jubilee for Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church. It is intended that this week of rejoicing will climax a series cf strenuous efforts by the church, under the leadership of Dr. S. L. Corrothers, to raise the sum of $2,000, about $700 of which have already been secured. The chief feature of the services on Sunday,, November 33, will be the in- sertion of the cornerstone at 2 p.m, by the Knights of Jerusalem, as the one now in the building is too small and worn to distinctly mark the date and denomination of the church, Other fra- ternal organizations are invited to be | present and assist. Monday evening November 4, will be Citizens and Educational Night, 'Some of the most popular orators of the city will speak. Among them will be the Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register tof the Treasury; Hon, H. B. MacFar- land, Commisoioner of the District of Columbia; Hon. B. H. Warner, of Co- lumbia National Bank, ,and Dr. Thir- kield, of Howard University. The mu- sic in genera] will be furnished by the choir of Galbraith Church. A solo will be rendered by Prof. John T. Layton, and the Amphion Glee Club has been | invited to,render two numbers. No one should lose the opportunity to listen to this group of individuals, each of whom Tuesday evening, November 5, there will be a class reunion of all the Meth- brief addresses will be delivered by rep- resentative men and women, followed by general testimonies. On Wednesday evening, November 6, all the fraternal organizations in the District of Columbia will take part in the services.

Its principles are to protect and uplift all lab- oring people, men and wo- men, colored and white alike—no_ col- or discrimina- tion is allowed under its pro- tecting banner. rand Lodge was established May 1, and since then has started over 449 Subordinate I.

This Order holds a legal International Charter from Ohio, which grants it the wer to aid and protect all Laboring People, gives it legal standing in the courts aad guarantees homest dealings with all people because of state supervision. The Grand Lodge and each Subordinate Ledge does everything within their power to advauce the conditions of the negro laboring men and women; they teach them to be true, honest and faithful; to be law abiding citizens; to do their work better and quieker; to secure better pay for what they do and to shorten their hours of toil so all our people can obtain a share of the laboring werk to be done, with enough pay to support themselves and families as becomes good citizens of toil; and to secure for each mémber the ptght to learn a trade and» work at it for equal pay with other workmen, no matter what race or color they may be. There is no color, race or sex discrimi- nation under the banner of the I. L. U.

For instance, hen a member dies it is customary for the Grand Lodge to give $100.00 to help out on the expense. After January Ist, 1908, it is proposed that the Grand Lodge give . to each male member when his wife dies, also the same to each female member when her pand dies; to give $5.00 when a member's child between 3 and 10 years of age dies and $10.00 when one over 10 years old passes away. In addition to this nearly every L. L. U. Subordinate Lodge maintains a sick and accident fund, out of which they give each member from $3.00 to $5.00 per week when sick or dis- abled. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge does not boast about what it does in voluntarily assisting distressed members, but the I. L. U. members unite in saying that they are pro.ected better under the I. L. U. Grand Lodge than in many other Orders who pro- mise big things and do little. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge owns and pub- lishes THE I. L. U. HOME JOURNAL, @ 16 page monthly publication of great inter- est to our people. An I. L. U. Membership Book will be recognized and accepted by any 1. L. U. Subordinate Lodge in the world. Each I. L. U. member bas the privilege of buying IL. L. U. Grand Lodge Stock from $1.00 up to $100.00, which pays 8 per cent interest (or more) ; hence all profits made from the Publishing and Home Office business go right back in cash dividends to the members who own stock. Any honorable negro man or woman who lives where no I. L. U. Subordinate Lodge is now established, can join the I. L. U. Grand Lodge and thus enjoy all these benefits. We want a leading negro man and wo- man to become our Representative in each and every locality throughout the country.
