MOORISH COSTUME BALL So enthusiastic was the reception of the costumes worn by the Moorish Americans during their parade that the members of the Moorish Science Temple have decided to have at different times what they will call a Moroccan Costume Ball. This affair will be had shortly after the holidays, about New Years Eve. The Prophet consented that this could be for the entertainment of the members. Other groups of people in the city have been using the dress of our forefathers and imitating them all but the olive hue they cannot get. The Moorish Costume Ball will be among the first of such given where an idea is put forth that has to do with the origin of the millions of people in this country, who can

trace their ancestors back to the illustrious founders of civilization. It will remind the descendants of these people of the time when their forefathers were the main people to spread the most progressive ideas of civilization. In fact, they paved civilization many times. When more barbaric tribes from the North were ravishing all countries, they were permitted to enter. It was the forefathers of the Moorish Americans and their near kin that saved the historic records that were threatened during the days when the burning of libraries was a fad for despotic soldiers. This costume ball will be much looked for and appreciated. BY THE PROPHET

"NATIONALITY IS A FIFTH GRADE WORD" What is the difference between Nationality, ethnicity, and race? And why is Nationality more important than the others. In this lesson, Bro. E. Braswell Bey teaches what the differences are and why it is crucial for all people, especially so-called "black" people, to proclaim their Nationality.
Islam... *Thought* It's not about what the Temple (MOORISH SCIENCE TEMPLE OF AMERICA, "MSTofA") can do for you, it's about what you can do for the Temple... We're about the rebuilding of our Divine Nation (Moorish), and right now we're not exactly or entirely where we desire to be, but we're definitely right where we supposed to be according to the Will of ALLAH... It takes much finance, patients, time put in, hope and vision for the betterment of our Nation in order to see any benefits, and honestly the benefits that most seek may not occur in this life but in the lives of
our posterity, so we must sacrifice
So, join The MOORISH SCIENCE

"This is a field open to strong men and
be entitled to the name of "Faithful"
women to uplift the nation and take
once being a part of all uplifting acts,
your place in the affairs of men."
financing the movement (dues and assessments) and making all meetings so that we can properly plot, plan, strategize and organize for the future we so desire... And that's what we all as TRUE Moslems of Prophet Noble Drew Ali's ONE and Only Moorish American Nation are determined and should desire to be, "FAITHFUL"...

PROPHET ANNOUNCES HIS AUTHORITY AND POWER Forced to make changes. All Governors and other officers of the Moorish Science Temple are hereby congratulated for their past loyalty and fidelity, for I know it will be the same in the future. Because of certain incidents that have arisen in some of the Temples which seem to come from the fact that there are those who do not know where the seat of power is vested the Prophet has ordered the following to be published; All authority and power of the Moorish Science Temple of America is vested in the Prophet Noble Drew Ali and those whom he appoints to act as in the Supreme Body. The Prophet has the authority and power to expel any officer or member of the Moorish Science Temple of America who willfully violates or refuses to comply with the rules in regard to branch Moorish Science Temple. and such suspensions and expulsions shall stand until in the judgment of the Prophet, the members and officers shall have made satisfactory atonement. All officers and members of the Moorish Science Temple of America and such rules and regulations of the constitution shall be in writing and not at variance with any law of the city, town or nation which the prophet shall declare a law.
During this session of the convention, all rules, regulations, and laws of the constitution and such as might be enacted and ordered by the Prophet, shall express and explain in detail, so there can be no doubt as to what is required of each and every officer or member of the organization. The Prophet will positively not tolerate any interference with the operation of this National Divine Movement from anyone. By the Prophet, NOBLE DREW ALI.

that their spiritual, social, intellectual and economic condition can be better to join the M.S.T. of A. We are Moslems who have proclaimed the Nationality (Moorish American) and the Divine and National Principles (Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom and Justice) of their forefathers in order to meet the constitutional Standards of Law of the United States of America, become citizens of the USA and have political status in our government. As followers of a Divine Prophet, we have effectively interacted with individuals, groups and organizations that have shown their respect for our Prophet and the divine and National Principles of our temples. In connection with our religious aims and beliefs, we have always promoted economic security. We are firmly committed to our organization’s Plan (The Divine Plan of the Ages) which assures us Unity, Spiritual Fulfillment, Truthful Education of our Posterity and Economic Power. This is why we advocate that the Moorish Science of America is the only national organization amongst our Asiatic people, unfortunately called today Black, that can solve our problems. We teach that our people are Asiatic because according to all true and divine records of the human race, there is no Negro, Black, Colored Race attached to the Human Family and we consider it to be a sin and unconstitutional for our people to cling to names and principles that delude to slavery. We have a Public Affairs Office that can arrange for lectures and literature for those who desire to know more about the Moorish Science Temple of America.
Thank you for your support.
