National Ideal (Continued from page 1) The Regular Session. While an executive session was held at 6 P. M. Monday, the 5th, in which much important business was transacted, the regular session did not open until 10:00 A. M. o.t the 6th. Devotionals were conducted by Rev. R. B. Taylor. Supreme C taplain, Richmond, Va., assisted by Rev. W. T. Johnson, also of Richmond, Va., and Rev. B. J. Westray, of Pitts burgh, Pa. The Society was wel comed on the part of the John Wes ley Church, by the pastor, Rev. H. T. Medford: on behalf of the “Wash ington Ideals,” by Mrs. Olivia E. Neal and Mrs. India Boyd, both of \\ ash ington, D. C.; on behalf of the city by the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Secre tary-Treasurer of Howard University. Responses to these addresses were made by the following: to Mrs. Neal, Mrs. Maude A. Morrissette, Phila delphia; to Mrs. Boyd. Mrs. Olivia W. Smith, Richmond, Va.; to Mr. Scott, Mr. L. C. White, Richmond, Va. No Conflict There. The program was so arranged that both the work oi' the Supreme Lodge and that of the Nursery Guardians’ Convention could be cared for in the time allotted, without conflict either as to time or interest. Accordingly the first day was given to the work of the Supreme Lodge, and the chief business to claim its attention, after ritualistic formalities had been com plied with, was the hearing of re ports from the following: Supreme Secretary, Mrs. M. S. Payme; Su preme Treasurer, T. L. Beverly; Su preme Auditors, Mrs. Alma L. Chap man and L. C. White, all of Rich mond, Va.. and the annual address <rf Supreme Master A. W. Holmes, which was in the nature of a report. What Reports Showed. I These reports showed that the Society has enrolled 35,000 members during the past fifteen years, paid death claims aggregating thousands of dollars; that it now has assets of more than $60,000, and is free from debt. On the basis of these accom plishments the Supreme Master urged the delegates to be loyal and faithful to the Order, predicting for and it a future of prosperity. His recom mendations of plans for intensifying the work in Virginia, and extending it to certain parts of Maryland, Dela ware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, hitherto unreached, were unanimous ly adopted. The body also adopted the Supreme Master’s plan for re modeling the home office and he was given the power to act. Rev. Dr. Johnson Spoke. Other outstanding addresses were delivered by Dr. W. T. Johnson, pas tor o*f the First African Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., and Mr. W. S. Carter, president of the Industrial 'Savings Bank of Washington, D. C. Dr. Johnson spoke from the subject of “Leadership,** emphasizing^ the qualities of originality, self-helpful ness and patience, which he said are the foundation stone on which lead I ' ' ership must be built. Dr. Johnson was master of himself and his audi ence throughout his address. Mr. Carter spoke on the subject of “Thrift” and pictured it as the bed rock on which all business enterprises must rest. Thanks to God. i The body adopted the following resolutions:* Recognizing the strug gle through which our Order has passed and the unusual progress it has made, it is befitting that its 15th annual meeting should have been held in the city of Washington, D. C., the capital of the greatest nation in the world—a city which has been a center of educational opportunity for our people since their emancipation from slavery. Now, therefore, be it resolved: . , 1. That we thank the Almighty God for His unerring guidance of the leaders of this great body, and pledge to keep our hand in His hand. 2. That we thank our own mem bers of the Washington District and the citizens of Washington, D. C., for the very cordial welcome extended us, and for the living accommodations which have been ours during our so journ in their city. 3. That we tender a vote of thanks to the John Wesley A. M. E. Z. Church, for the satisfactory way in which the sessions of this convention have been housed and cared for dur ing our stay here. 4. That we hereby express our ap preciation to the local committee for the splendid sight-seeing tour which enabled our delegates to view many points of beauty and historic inter est, thus enabling us to carry from Washington many pleasant memories of the beauties and wonders here to be beheld. I Urged Race Support. 5. That this convention will go on record as urging our people to patronize Negro professional men and women and Negro business en terprises, whenever it is reasonably possible and profitable to do so. Practically all officers who came up for re-election were re-elected. Vice-Supreme Master, Rev. W. L.

White, of Richmond, Va., was elected to that position. Fine Singing. The Ideal Choirs of Richmond and Newport News rendered acceptable music throughout the sessions. The Washington committee entertained with a delightful sight-seeing tour on the afternoon, and a musical pro gram on the evening of the 7th, and served the delegation to a delicious banquet on the night of the 8th.
