In business, literature, industry, farming, and all hnes where there are productive possibilities, Colored America has a ehancet The race must be mindful of the eternal opposition, but the “right thinking white people" are increasing in number, and they, for the most part, have the courage of their convictions. North and South. Where, yet, they have not quite the courage, but the convictions, even this, is to be appreciated. The better mind of white America is getting better, the mind of oppression, and depression, within and without the group, is being shoved to the discard

where it rightly belongs.

The future of colored America | —as well as white America—after all, is in the change and favorable sentiment of the younger people, who have not been sullied by the old-time hates and prejudicies which have been much a bane in the progress of the Republic along racial lines. Young white people and young Mack people may well join^ bands, as they are so commcmi-l

Long live America—an America of honor, justice and fair play; an American unafraid of the possibilities of equal opportunity, an America sportsmanlike, rather than petty, in dealing with all fellow

Americans.

-■ -oOo ' - ■- FRANKFORT, IND. Services at Bethel A. M. E. Church were good in spite of the inclement weather. Rev. H. B. Patterson, pastor. filled his pulpit at 7:30 p. rn. and preached a wonderful sermon tmm Hebrews 2: 3rd verse—“How Chall we escape, if we neglect so great A salvation.” The speaker said, The ward neglect was one of the dreadful words in the vocabular learning. This word is detrimen to humanity from a natural standpoint and from a spiritual standpoint. You can see this word written everywhere, on the streets, on houses, la the faces of men, women and children. The dentist tells us not to Neglect our teeth. The doctor tells us not to neg.cct our health, for it is evident if we neglect our natural aalvea we arc* neglecting ourselves, spiritually. The next thought was: “So great a salvation.” Its a great salvation because it supplies a gnat Need. “It’s a great salvation because of its brand. “It’s a great salvation’’ because of its double cure—it heals

aowl and body.

The sermon was inspiring and uplifting and a nice crowd was out in Ite of the weather. When folks lire hungrying for spiritual food the does not get to cold. The i tree and program was a The Revival was a success tmr hearts were made glad and rejoiced in the God of our salvation. Rev. Franklin Jones, of Indianapolis, was the evangelist, and bk sermons were inspiring. May the Lord bless Rev. Jones as he carries

the word.

remembered reading a few years ago a statement made by Profl Commons of V. of Wisconsin to the effect that the Teutonic race until 60 years after Christ, were exceedingly primitive In their civilisation, yet had mental qualities which made it possible for them to absorb the highest Roman civilization. Could their babies have bedn taken out of the forest 2,000 years ago, and transplanted to the homes and schools of modem America, they would have covered in one generation the progress of 20 centuries. Well you say Chat may have been possible in the case of the Teutonic race! but it is by no means possible in tho case of the Negro race. You might say that, if

you did not know Blo&ah.

Glancing through a pamphlet published by Garret’s Biblical Institute. I rdad with great surprise that the father of one of the students had been a village warrior. I learned that this student was a young Africar named Blo&ah, and that he had a perfectly fascinating lecture entitled: “From Cocoanut tree to College.“ and that this lecture was the per fiectly true story of his own life For he was quite* liberallv up in a oocoannt tree when he caught si of the first white man whom eithei he or any member of his tribe had etoer seen, and today he is doingpost graduate work in an American Theo-

logical School.

ftoaah. a native African, as black as midnight, has actually done v/h»t Prof. Commons conjectured the natives of the Teutenic race might have done had they been taken out of the foreat 2,000 yean ago and transplanted to the schools and homes of modem America. He has actually covered In one generation the progress of 20 centuries. How impatient the white race is of the Negro, who has b«tan out of slavery

Best Editorials of the Week "TOO BLOOMING PIOUS” Clarence Darrow, speaking to an audience of colored people in New York City, said among other things: “You are "boo blooming pious.” Allowing for the fact that Mr. Darrow isf an evolutionist and is said ?not to believe in Gqd” and all that, this statement rejmains true. The Negro spirituals sung at the meeting doubtless inspired the remark^ One of them was, “De Lord Deb be red Daniel” The old fol/ks in in slavery sang these songs, but the young folks, now less than half free. Live Them.. They are too prone to follow the line of least resistance and let the Lord save them from those ill that other races have shaken off only through tihe bitterest nebistance. Aside from that ai^pect of case^ the Negro is “too blooming pious" not to live up to the tenets of Christianity. Of course white people are hypocritical and Pharasaical too—Mit we are not dealing with them now. If all the Negro church membe.rs and "Christians" IjvtNl up to the teachings of the founder of Christianity this would he a wonderful world But to a great extent—too great -it doesn't mean anything. We ha\^ seen them sit in church with long pious fares, shout and cry and then before getting off tho church steps have heard them say some rotten, misty hurting thing about a fellow member We have heard preachers howl about forgiving our enemies and have actually heart! them declare at another time they would kill a fellpw minister. Isolated cast's, perhaps, hut straws that show something. So Darrow was right: 'Too blooming pious” t*> fight h%s own race.battles and too blooming pious in Church on Sunday Morning. In other words as the song goes: ‘Why shouVl I li r * or dteal on Sun- ^ Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday*, Thursdav, Friday and Saturday too?”—The Louisville News.
