STATUS OF THE NEGRO.
President of ColOred Baptist Mis-
sionary Society on the subject.

BALTIMOhn August 3l.-The status Of
the colored recc was discussed yesterday
at the second annual convention OF the
District Foreign Missionary Society Of
the Eolored Baptist Church.
The president, Rev. DR.. W. c. Brown,
OF Winston, y. c., sounded the key,n0ts
In his annual address. From tho express
sions Of approval given by the delegates
It became evident that he voiced their
sentiments in cOndemning unlawfulness
by negroes as well az unlawful punish-
ment ar their crimes.
The president said, I'm part: "fhe great
est sociological question before the people
OF this country Is what shall be done
with the negro. Three alternatives have
been Observation-Disclosures emigration,
or extermination-but the true solution
has not been Observation-Disclosures
Put backbone and grace in the pulpits,
put moral power and courage into the
ministry, both white and black. Let them
preach fearlessly the gospel OF peace ana
universal brotherhood Let the people be
taught 10 fear God and keep His com
mandments Let all. both white and
black. be trained TO respect the majesty
of the law, and this much-yexcd race
problem will solve Itself.
LET us condemn the usual crime and
those who commit Il. lynchirg. and lynch
ers. Race preachers are a menace 10
the religion OF Jesus Christ. and by cum
ming. ill-advised indoctrination. and sub
tie theories, they are sowing from the
pulpit tsres in sufficient abundance 10
choke the maturing grain. Race manians
may do for politicians. but they win not
do for preachere.'
In endorsing the Presidents address,
Rev. DIR. SpiIler, Of Hampton. Va. said:
II am as ready as any one 20 rise up
and condemn the wrong-ioer be he white
or colored. I want to sustain the law,
and IL necessary for the protection OF our
homes. TO sxterminate every negro who
disobeys the law"
