ted with angry tears against the profan-
alton of the precincts sacred to white so-
ciety by the residence therein of colored
family who were not menials. Twelve
thousand dollars was offered hlm to sur
FENDER his purchase, and he was roundly
denounced because he refused the pro-
position. Whether he finally accepted
better offer or not the Bystander does
not know, but he certainly discovered
new way in which "Christianity and
bank account may be made to operate
for a "brother in black If colored men
who have bank accounts do not act upon
this hint and take to buying houses in
fashionable neighborhoods the race lacks
the initiative capacity with which it is
credited. --. u.
Not long ago the Bystander, address
ing an audience of colored Americans,
advised every colored Christian through
out the North, and, for that matter,
throughout the South also, to attend di-
vine service once each Sabbath at some
white church, thereby putting himself
in evidence as Christian believer be-
fore other Christian believers, who, since
the devil ran the color line through the
churches, have little knowledge of his
existence, except as monstrosity whom
leading divine IN sermon before the
General Assembly of one of the great
sects of the country recently declared to
be 'capable of being saved but incapa-
BILE of being civilized.''
The Bystander was entirely in earnest.
He thinks that every colored Christian
should be witness for the civilization
and Christianity of his people at least
once on every Sabbath in some church
which has forgotten that God made "of
one blood all the nations of the earth,"
and that Christ died to make earth toler-
| able for US as we'll as to make heaven ac-
cessible for all, For giving this advice
he has been shaply criticised by some re-
l1gious (O journals for ''inciting colored
people to 90 where they are not wanted"
He does not think any Christian church
has right not to want any Christian be-
lever in its pews, AND if they do that is
the very place such unwelcome believers
are most needed; but the colored Chris
tian goes to the so-called "white' chur-
ches, not to intrude Or annoy, but humb-
ly, persistently, as witness of that
Christ-spirit of which he Is an equal heir.
Let him take whatever seat is offered
him, never intruding, but worshiping the
Master who declares that "all ye are
brethren" If not we'll treated let him
make appeal to the Christian world, but
never utter any remonstrance or make
any clamor in the house of God. If
Christianity is to be an effective instru-
ment in securing justice to the colored
American, the appeal must be made, not
through 'bank account" but by a
weekly mission to the white Christians
of the United States
