JIarcus Garvey has again broken into the limelight.
This time he has called the annual meeting of the Universal!
Negro Improvement Association in New York and an-
nounces that at this time he will begin the movement to
create a worship among his followers of a black Christ and
a black Virgin Mary.
How such a thing will be done does not yet appear. We
suppose however that the "Great Marcus" will just arise
clad in all of the royal robes of state with which he bedecks
himself on such occasions and state that "the assembly will
now begin the worship of The
done.

The corporation will specialize in financing and helping

is the result of the planning and vision of the heads of the
National Negro Business League and will operate as a

League does have a really constructive program that it in-
tends to put over and that that program is far in excess of
any ever yet attempted by members of the race.
It is in the comparison of such projects as this with the
more spectacular and less practical that are constantly
springing up from time to time that we get an idea of the
real progress that we are making along financial and eco-
nomic lines. Here is a program that challenges the belief

after that I was not permitted to

the victim of bloojs and curses. I
tried to tell him that Floyd had

all the respect and courtesy that
a man can extend to the woman
who trusts him but he would not

Floyd's cause that finally one
ujtut my lauier turned on me
with with abuse and blows and
drove me out of his house with
the knowledge that he was done
with me forever. All that night
I hovered at our front door. When
the air grew too chill I sought
shel ter in a little out-building.
Next morning I tried to plead
with him reason with him but
he drove me away. He called down
horrible cuhses upon my head.
He called injthe neighbors to wit-
ness that he was no longer re-
sponsible as my father. It was
the worst blow that I had ever
received.
I sought shelter ; among the
people who had always been
friends of ours the folks that
attended our church but they
gently- and firmly told me that
it ! would be Impossible tor them
to take me in now as I had earn-
the disopprobation of my parents.
I turned to my younger friends
those whom I had come up with
but they rejected me viciously. It
was not because of my father that
these rejected me it was because
of my regard for Floyd Darrow.
Now what else was there for me
to do? I had no money and no
place to sleep. I had to do some
thing. So I. went to Malsie? a
begger. .
"As I told you before she had
married a very nice young man
from Atlanta. He was far differ-

the average Bradshaw beau. He
possessed . unusal . lntelligance.
When Maislo explained our child
hood friendship to him and ask
ed him to allow me to make my
temporary home with them he
did not reject the petition. In fact
he was very gracious about it.
So I went to live with Maisle. .
