GUARDIANSHIP. CONTESTED.
Important Case from HaIlsviIIe
Heard by Judge SwitzIer
Wednesday.

In the matter of the persons of
Georgia l.. Johnson and Harrell H.
Johnson, minors. These minors were
children of Aubrey Johnson and
Mary johnson, both of whom are
now deceased. Mrs. Rachie John
son was appointed guardian of the
persons of the three minors by the
probate court on April IL last. Her
husband, Luther Johnson, was q
brother of the deceased father of said
minors. A few days ago Green
Johnson and Sarah johnson, his
wife. grandparents of said minors,
filed application in probate court
asking that Mrs. Rachie johnson be
removed as guardian and themselves
appointed, for number of causes, In
substance towit: Because the grand
parents were nearer in relationship
and feel nearer towards them; could
give them better home and better
provide for them; because Mrs.
Johnson is ill-tempered and unkind
to them and treats them badly and
would not permit them to visit their
grandparents, and lives too far from
the school house where the eldest
children attend school.
The matter came up In the probate
court for hearing last Wednesday,
and the number of witnesses and in
terested parties was 30 large that
Judge Switzler held the trial In the
circuit court room. J. l.. Stephens
represented the petitioners, Green
and Sarah Johnson; N. Il. Gentry
represented the defendant guardian,
Mrs. Rachie Johnson. The trial
consumed the entire day. A great
number of lady witnesses were pres
ent from the vicinity where the par
ties live, which is near Hallsville.
The case was vigorously contested
by both sides. The case was extern
tensively and ably argued by cOun-
sci on either side. The court decided
that the application be overruled
and the guardianship left undisturb-
ed. 1t, however, made an order to
the effect that the guardian was to
tperinit the children to visit their
grandparents one day out Of each
month, on the application of the
grandparents.
The two children are about and
years of age, are the great grandchil-
dren of Geo. w. Harrell, ST., and
also of d. B. Cunningham, of CO.

Contracting Church Debts.

Very few Negro churches are
out of debt. There is a constant
clamor for the rally. Special days
in each month are set aside for the
purpose of raising money to meet
the bonded indebtedness. Concerts,
entertainments, and festivals are
given in the church and out, and
ingenious devices are evolved for
the purpose of raising money to
meet these never decreasing obli-
cations. No person will object to
the payment of honest debts con-
tracted. None will object to the
building of churches. But COM
mon sense would dictate that it is
not an act of wisdom on the part
of congregation to indebt itself
beyond its means to pay, any
more than it is for an individual.
Our church people should take a
common sense view of these mat
ters, and not mortgage the chill
dren "even unto the fourth genera
tion." We do not believe it is
required by God of his followers
to live in one hundred dollar
homes and build ten thousand dol
lar churches. Two years ago, two
churches were built III a western
city by Negroes at cost Of one
hundred thousand dollars. They
are beautiful structures, and a
a credit to the city in which they
are built, but how do they COM
pare with homes of the majority
of those who come to worship. In
that city the average income of the
large Negro population will not
exceed thirty dollars per month
throughout the year, and the ma
! jorlty live in rented property.
How much more Christianity
would have been displayed had
the pastors urged the members OF
their congregation to buy homes,
save their money; open business
enterprises for the employment OF
their boys and girls, and satisfied
their religious ambitions by wor'
Shipping God in a less pretentious
edifce. 1t is very clear that the
effectiveness of Negro churchmer
as elements in the future uplift OF
the race will depend largely upor
changing of the direction of the
energy of the church from grea
church building force to a grea
character building force. -Topekt
