ON TEACHERS.

In a recent issue of the Star the
editor discussed with becoming zeal
and indignant rage, the worthlessness
of the average high-toned school teach
er to the church. 1t is rather remark
able that so many guns are turned
against the hapless school teacher.
The newspaper man says he won't
read his paper, the grocer complains
that he don't buy his groceries. the
preacher denounces him for not be-
coming a Jealous and active worker
in the church. the politician asserts
that the school teacher is a moral
coward who hasn't the courage of his
conviction. and leading lodge men
say that he is an iceberg in the vari-
Gus lodges. do not wish to make anv
exhaustive defense of this mana man
against whom impossible" editors
delight to train their guns. and against
whom the man of God" launches his
thunders. But were such a defense
necessary. | should undertake it, upon
the grounds that they are slaves who
dare not be in the right with two or
three
They are slaves who dare not speak
for the fallen and the weak.
wish, however, to point out the fact
that between the average school teach
er, the "high-toned" teacher, as the
Star puts it, and the church, as at
present constituted and conducted,
there is. there must be, an irrepressi-
BILE conflict, a chasm that cannot be
bridged. 1 wish, further. to make a
dispassionRte inquiry as to the cause
or causes Of this conflict. If this can
be successfully done, all parties will
be benefited
Vituperation and invective can have
no place in a logical consideration of a
subject of so much Importance. First
In every congregation there will be
found influential but more or less ig-
norant men, who can run things to
suit the populace much better than
can the school teacher; they know this
and so does the teacher. If it is con-
Quoting a Sunday school the teacher
would insist upon promptness in open
ing and closing; he would exclude as
utterly worthless the interminable
wrangles INDUCED by many of the
older brothers; he would insist upon
filling the position TO which he was
elected and not allow himself to be
figure-head and a foil for the pastor.
Knowing the original purpose of
Sunday school he would direct the
best energies of the school to assisting
the children; the 'big-wigs." and there
are many of them everywhere, who
know more Scripture than the sacred
writer's themselves, would be compelled

When a pastor sees that he has
board of deacons who want to run
things, notwithstanding they are ap-
pointed as helpers and assistants for
the pastor, he should see to it that
they are dismissed and a harmonious
board elected. For, If the pastor can
not safely confer with his officers and
understand them in all matters relat-
ing to the church, and work peacably
with them. there can be very little spir-
itual and financial growth of the
church. There must be a sweet spirit
ana wholesome public sentiment main
talned in the church community in or
der that great good may be done.

1t seems to me that the time has
fully come for the Negroes to put
their little means together and in some
way make way for the profitable en-
ploylnent of their sons and daughters,
who are now undergoing long and te-
dious courses of training in those col
leges, academies and free graded
schools of this country. To educate
them, which enlarges their aspirations
and makes them more ambitious, with
out a ghost of a show for profitable
employment, is suicide. Every race
is row looking rightly after it's own
sons and daughters. The white folks
are tired of being crutches for th>
Negroes. Hence they are rapidly
throwing them upon their own ingen-
uity White folks have not all been
so fortunate as to inherit a fortune.
therefore there are thousands of them
who are making living in the same
way as Negroes. The timidity and
dislike for certain positions in the
South, held heretofore only by Ne
groes, are rapidly passing away. The
white man is pushing into everything
in which a dollar can be found. The
Negro can hold these positions only by
undertaking him, which too often re-
suits in violence to the Negro, and in
final analysis to the organization of
labor unions for protection against
cheap Negro labor. Thus, the Negro
is shut out from all lucrative positions.
If there are any skeptical as not to ac-
cept the above statement as a fact,
refer him TO the white barber shops
ers, chambermaids, and a host of other
positions too numerous to mention that
white folks are holding now that they
did not and would not hold in the days
Of yore. This, to my mind, is cogent
evidence Of the fact that mighty forces
are already at work quietly but stead
lily changing the conditions of soce-
ty. 1t is now very difficult for a Ne
GRO to get good paying positions if a
white man can do it half so we'll We
may still sleep, and laugh at the clar-
ion notes of warning, but this is the
most daring and mightiest blow that
has ever been made to check the Ne
gro's progress, for if men cannot earn
money they cannot save money, nor
buy property, nor school their chill
dren, etc. The Negroes are said to
be worth more than six hundred mil
lions of dollars of wealth in this
country. Why not invest some of it
in business enterprises that will give
our children employment. Let us wake
up and stop trying to cut one another's
throats, and while the South halloos

Trees and Tidea

A very curious theory kOely revived
is that the sap of a living tree ebbs
and flows in some way in sympathy
with the tides of the ocean. This idea
comes from Italy, where a grower of
vines and other fruit trees, who is also
a chemist, has been experimenting in
this direction. He says that no tree
should be topped or pruned except dur
ing the hours of ebb tide. He has tax
en- fourteen years to come to this con-
clusion and now always acts upon it.
The result is that his trees and vines
nave developed beautiful Foliage, bear
splendid crops and are qtite free from
the attacks of insects WI ich devastate

In these modern days, when men are
drifting unconsciously with infdelity
and by too loosely interpreting Gods
word. are extracting from it all it's sa-
credness. we should call halt by re-
ferring them to the strict teaching of
the Scriptures upon the questions in
controversy, and that are suffering
violence at the hands of the pretended
friends of the Bible. Among these
questions none has suffered more than
the question of divine call to the min
istry. There are hundreds of preach
er tramps and church buns strOlling
around over the State, creating all
kinds of dissensions in the churches
by trying to supplant some preacher
who has had some little trouble with
some unruly deacon or member who
could not carry the pastor his or her
way in some particular church case.
This is the class of men who do Vio-
lence to the ministry and pour con-
tempt upon Gods word. This is the
class of unfruitful men who entertain
the opinion that man may take up
the ministry as he might any other
business under heaven. Men who
cheaper the ministry in this way
would do well to consider, among hun
dreds Of other passages of Scripture,
the following: Jer. 81: Ezek. 6:1;
Luke 3:2; 1st Timothy 81.

Unwise leadership and democratic
chicanery have reduced the Negro
politicians in the eastern and northern
parts of Texas to very few. No
man knows the cause of this so well
as one who lives there. That is be-
tond doubt one of the most corrupt
parts of Texas. The whites have
driven some Negroes out of politics
by the midnight shotgun speeches.
Others have been silenced by taking
the schools into politics. Those who
will not vote the democratic ticket
and make democratic speeches are not
allowed to teach schools. Merit
amounts to nothing in that part of the
State If you are not a democrat. you
lose your head. under their shotgun,
force bill law passed by the bloodiest
mobs, composed Of some Of the best
citizens of the State. under the cover
of midnight. The Negroes suffer from
this kind of legislation. Incompetent
and disgraceful tricksters are often
placed at the head of their schools
over their protest. These disgraceful
lowdown scoundrles. who can be heard
saying, Il stand n with the ring"
have in many cases caused great
trouble in Negro school communities;
school houses have been burned down
and many teachers have been ambush
ed by an indignant populace. In many
instances women who are living under
the darkest clouds. are forced upon
colored schools, and as leaders of the
race by white trustees over the protest
of the patrons. Men or women who
will unman or unwoman themselves
in order to get a school to teach is not
worthy of the respect of an intelligent
people. Having sacrificed their man
hood or womanhood for the sake of
position, they are afraid to speak out
on these great questions that affect the
race. They stoop to any low thing and
are the class that usually do violence
to the race. If any one doubts the
above statements go east and stay dur
ing some close political contest. and
you will see big educators driving
through the counties in hired buggies
paid for by the democratic committees
closely followed by the Office holders
of the county to see that he does his
duty. This learned gentleman goes out
to some country community and sud
denly turns into a Demosthones as h.
describes the marvellous record made

The Home Mission Societies, COM
posed of a few faithful sisters in near
" every church in the State, are doing
quietly more real Christian work than
any other department of the church.
They give money to State missions,
African missions, Sunday school mis-
sions. city missions, carpet the aisles
and pulpits of their churches and in
many instances put clothes upon thelr
naked and care-worn pastors. Yet
there is less said about this faithful
band of women than about any other
organization Of the church. l thlnk

these societies are real and ideal bene-
factors of the human race.
