SATURDAY JULY 19, 1902. A SERIOUS QUESTION. It seems that the leading white papers of this city are too prone ts condemn all of the Negroes of this city and state, for the misdemeanors and viciousness of the race while the better element of the race are striving hard to overcome these serious conditions. W Jhave ever reason to believe that we are not receiving the protection guaranteed the citizens of this commonwealth. Along this line the Indianapolis News says the following: “It is hard to believe that there could be such a condition of things in Indiana. We have here an old and civilized commonwealth in which law and order have been established for many years. Our people have had the benefits that flow from religion and education. They are for the most part a kind and tolerant people. It is true that there have been on occasions disgraceful outbreaks of lawlessness, but we have had little or no persecution of men because of their race. We think there can be no doubt that the negro is thought less well of than he was a few years ago. Some of his best friends have turned against him and lost patience with him. The feeling is wholly irrational. But even if it were abun. dantly justified, it would afford no warrant for depriving him of the protectioci of the law. It is high time that the law was asserting itself. No citizen is so humble as to be beneath its care, and none eo powerful as to be beyond its power.” We do not hesitate to say that the young Negro of this state is abusing bis rights of manhood and freedom and wequote an editorial in part which appeared in a recent issue of The Recorder as expressing our views along this line; “No race oau expect to meet with favor and success whose young men have no higher ambition than to dress and flirt. To be Eure, a great many avenues are closed to them, but “where there is a will, there is a way” and to sit down and wait for something to “drop this way” is not at all encourageing to the race itself, neither is it looked upon with favor by our white friends. The young- Negro alone can solve this dilemma into which we are fast and surely drifting. Well dressed negroes with no income and no visible means of support, are of no advantage to the race and it would be much better were they confined in some penal institution, rather than have them to be an exampla to younger generations. There is a great work to be done among ourselves and the sooner, the better.” The better element of the race is cognizant of these conditions and are grappling the question with the hope of effecting a happy solution. In Indinapolis, conditions would be far more encourageing if Mayor Bookwalter would do his duty to suppress this vi cious element and not let them have full sway. W T e are not in favor of hav* ing the privilege to gamble as a politi cal reward and the Negroes will in time resent this imposition that is being given to them by Bookwalter. Bad Negroes are just as despicable and undeserving as the bad element of any race an d their actions should be and ought to be restrained by the authorities; law breakers, criminals and the vicious elements of the race can not be thus rewarded and expect to receive the support and commendtion of the better elements who are trying to prevent these eonditions. We demand an enforcement of the law oa the black as well as the white, also a protection in like proportion.

Paste-Pot and Scissors

Leading Thought Expressed by the Afro-American Dress One thing that has made the friends of the Negro of the North despair of his political future was that h e did not have the manhood to defend himself and maintain his rights even in localities where bis race was in overwhelming numbers. If the Negroes, exasp crated by persecution, insist upon a a decent lawful treatment, they may exact obedience to the laws of the land and observance of the usage of civili zation in parts of the country where it has not been customary to respect such law and usages. The Negro armed only with the ballot did not prove a formable opponent. The Negro endowed with the shotgun may be a power to be reckoned with. The ballot may be the handmaiden to the shotgun. —Ohicago Conservator. Too large a portion of the race is carried away “D.D.’s,” titles of professions, and other soft honors that mean nothing to our betterment. Let us aspire more to have the honor of owning a giocery store, printing shop, flour mill or truck farm, and take aff a few big hats and long tail coats. —Detroit Informer “Our intelectual progress has been greater than our financial grawth The Negro has shown himself to be the eqnal of any other race in intellectual possibilities. This is evidenced by the high honors taken by the Afro-Ameri-cans from the wealthiest and most influential iastitutions of learnitg in tfcis country. —Vicksourg Light. To-day scientificially educated men are in demand. Business has no time to search for the color of the mechanic or l&borei;, but seeks the individual who can do the work at the lowest price. —Keystone (W. Va ) Daily Herald. We are as much opposed to the lawless, shiftless, insulting colored elements as we are to the lawless, shiftless, insulting white elements. We are against both. —Richmond Planet. We talk about the white folks being prejudiced to the negro, but if the white people were as envious and as some of our politicians, the negro would have to go to Africa or some other seaport town for they could not think of living here. —Norfolk News. The best drubbing to give a fighting newspaper is a severe letting alone. Certainly, there are times when a’paper is morally bound to speak out quite plainly on moral questions; but apapet that feels self-appointed to pick a flaw in every thing and a fuss with everybody may well sing at every issue, “And are we yet alive?” We have seen many such papers go down to an untimely grave. —Baptist Vanguard The men of our race who are giving of their time and means to help bring about a better condition of affairs ought to be upheld and given encouragement. Invidious criticism and sneering innuendosting sharper than the serpent’s tooth to those who are hoaestly laboring for success. —Atlanta Age.

Bishop Grant stood before a large congregation last Sunday morning and delivered not only an able but very effective discourse; many tears were shed and hearts impressed. The fol lowing persons joined the church; Miss Eva W inn, on probation; Maggie Crosswhite, Addie HummOns, Eveline Hale, Carrie Taylor and J. M. Hinton; the four ladies we»re received into ‘‘full fellowship” by re-obligation and Mr. Hinton by certificate. The pastor addressed the ysung people, in the grove for Rev. Ratliffe last Sunday afternoon on tho subject, Some Ulogic and Beautiful Things of the Negro. They expressed themselves instructed and pleased. Next Sunday at 10:45 a. m.. Rev. S. L. Bowles will preach. At 3:30-5 p. m. a program will be rendered by ProfCollins and Secretary J. W. Evans, assisted by others, for the purpose of raising the amount necessary for expenses to the Negro Young People’s Christian Congress. Come out and assist them in representing progress of Indianapolis negroes. It is a good cause and werthy your aid. They Trustees are arranging to have a “Big Rally” on the third Sunday in August” each trustee will rally his individual forces, with the endeavor to raise about one hundred dollars each, making nine companies. Bishop Grant wili marshal the forces that day. Now that Sunday funerals are out of date, the next thing is to do away with the old custom of marchinh around the church looking at the exposed faces of the dead. Why cannot people if they are siocere, go to the house to see their friends; if strangers, why yield to a morbid curiosity? We never look at at dead faces, we want to carry in our minds living images; we believe in a Gospel of Life.

LESSON III, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, JULY 20.

Text of the Le*inoi), Ex. xx, 12-17. Memory Vernon, 12-17—Golden Text, Matt, xix, 10—Commentary Prepared by Ilev. D. M. Stearnn. [Copyright, 1902, by American Press Association.) 12. Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land | which the Lord thy God glveth fliee. The Ten Commandments, or ten i words, as they are sometimes called, are summed up by our Lord in Mark xii, 29-31, In these words: “Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord, and thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment, and the second is like— namely this. Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” He thus quoted from Deut. vi, 4, 5, and Lev. xix, 18, for He honored the whole of the law, the prophets and the psalms (Luke xxiv, 27, 44), never in any way discounting the least portion. Howvery unlike Him in this respect are some wise people of our day who profess to be His followers! See in connection with this fifth commandment Prov. i, 8, and note that in Eph. vi, 2, it is called the first commandment with promise. The promise had doubtless a special reference to Israel. 13. Thou shall not kill. In our Lord’s commentary on this In Matt v, 21, 22, He teaches that anger lies at the root of murder, and in I John iii, 15, it is written, “Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer,” referring back to the story of Cain and Abel. In the same connection It Is written that Cain was of the wicked one, and in John viii, 44, our Lord said that he w-as a murderer from the beginning, a liar and the father of it. Not only are we forbidden to hate any one, but we are forbidden to speak evil of any one (Jas. iv, 11; Eph. iv, 31; I Pet. ii. 1). In Zech. vli, 10;-viH, 17, we are forbidden even to imagine evil In our hearts against a brother or a neighbor. 14. Thou shalt not commit adultery That this sin may be committed by a look as well as by an act our Lord taught in Matt, v, 27-32, w-here He also gives fuller instruction concerning it. That love will conquer it is seen in Rom. xiii, 10—“Love worketh no ill to his neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the law r .” God counted Israel guilty of this sin when they w r orshiped idols, the works of men’s hands (Jer. iii, 9), and by the Spirit through James He tells us that if we are in friendship with the world we are in His sight guilty of this sin (Jas. iv, 4). It seems to some moral people impossible that anything so vile as this sin could ever touch or come near them, but let them see it as God does and honestly ask as in His sight, Am I in any way conformed to this present evil world, am I in love with the world which is lying in the wicked one? (Horn. xii. 1, 2; I John ii, 15-17; v, 19, R. V.). 15. Thou shalt not steal. Many who would scorn,to take what does not belong to them, as between man and man, might have to plead guilty when searched by the question, “Will a mau rob God?” Yet God had to say to Israel, “Ye have robbed Me in tithes and offerings” (Mai. iii, 8). Inasmuch as our relation to God is the first question and the matter of the utmost importance, let the believer ask himself. Am I robbing God of any portion of my being or my time or my money? He claims our body as His property (Rom. xii, 1, 2; I Cor. vi, 19, 20), and at least a seventh of our time and a tenth of our income. 16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. There are tongues that devise mischiefs, that love evil more than good and lying rather than righteousness, but such do not belong in the holy city (Ps. Iii, 2, 3; Rev. xxii, 15). “He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within My house; he that telleth lies shall not tarry in My«elght” (Ps. ci, 7). False witnesses were among the grievous things which our Lord suffered for our sakes, even as it is written, “False witnesses are risen up against Me and such as breathe out cruelty,” and again, “False witnesses did rise up; they laid to My charge things that I knew not” (Ps. xxvii, 12; xxxv, 11). 17. Thou shalt not covet. We might infer from Rom. vii, 7, in connection with Phil, iii, 6, that Paul fancied that he had kept the law pretty thoroughly except on this one point, but he learned, as James also did, that to keep the whole law and offend in only one point makes one guilty of all, and in our flesh dwelleth no good thing (Jas. ii, 10; Rom. vii, 18). “Guilty” is the word for every one (Rom. iii, 19, 20). Some one has well said: “To do what the law requires I must have life, and to be what the law requires I must have righteousness, but by nature I have neither and am therefore cursed. When I receive Christ, He becomes my life and righteousness and will fulfill the law in me.” The people found that they could not keep this holy and perfect law, for in a few days they found themselves calling on Aaron to make them an idol and dancing around a golden calf. Then Moses before their eyes broke the two tables which God had given him, thus powerfully testifying to what they were actually doing. Then the Lord told His servant Moses to make two tables like the first and bring them up to Him in the mount, and He would write the same words on them, but Moses was also commanded to make an ark and put the tables of stone in it and cover them up and let them be there (Deut lx and x).
