AWAKESAST0RM
OF INDIGNATION
The Utterances of Rev. J. G. Massee Fire
brand Flung From the Pulpit Be
tween the Races.

Southern Baptist Convention has no pol
icy concerning the education and Chris
tianization of the 10000, 900 negroes in
the South, and we have higher duty to
them than the getting of the most labor
for the least money. We must recognize
them more as human beings with rights
which should be accorded to them. Many
OF us have lost sight of justice in our
dealings with them and for any oppres
sion in this matter of wages we are re-
sponsible to Cod
After interviewing Mr.. Massee, in or
der to get a statement from the reporter
who wrote the article i'll question Mr.,
Edward L. Conn, city editor of the Times
was interviewed Mr.. Coon said:
Il submitted the proof of the article
that appeared in the Raleigh Times yes
terday afternoon concerning the lecture
of Rev. j. G. Massee at the prayer meet
ing on Thursday at the Tabernacle Bap
fist church to DR.. Massee. He read and
corrected the proof, except typographical
errors, and the article as it appeared
in the Raleigh Times was sanctioned by
him, and he said to me concerning it
That is all right and very fair, thank
you, sir
"At a previous interview | had with
him i'll preparing the article IN question
he told me that he had looked over the
audience Thursday evening and saw there
no newspaper reporters, so | went to
parties who had been there, as l had
heard the lecture was a sensational one.
This accounts for my preparing the ar
ticle from accounts given by others and
then submitting it to DR.. Massee for
either his approval or disapproval. He
approved it..
The people of Raleigh have no tolera
ton for such utterances. They are calcu
lated to do harm when reported to tho
vicious members of the negro race. o.
course Mr.. Massee does not directly advise
them to steal, use the torch, or to lei
blood flow on the streets of Raleigh, but
that will be the inference drawn from
his remarks. If arrested for stealing, any
vicious negro could logically say that ac
cording to Mr.. Massee it was no harm
to do so unless he is paid higher wages
Such preaching in Raleigh can do no
body any good. 1t tends to incendiarisn
and cannot be too strongly rebuked. II
is all the worse BECAUSE delivered from
the pulpit.
Mr.. Massee has been pastor of the Bap
fist Tabernacle only a few months and
had made favorable impression. Those
who had heard him were utterly astounded
at his incendiary utterances and will be
indignant when they read that he read the
proof of the article that appeared in the
Times.
Mr.. Massee is a native of Georgia, was
educated at Mercer University and the
Louisville Seminary, served churches in
Kentucky, and was pastor of church
in Ohio before he came to Raleigh. Every
friend he has in Raleigh will read his
utterances with deep regret. 1t is incon-
ceivable how any man reared in the
South, who breaches the gospel of peace,
should indulge in such language and such
ineerdiary prophecies.

1t was hardly conceivable that a
6outhern-born man, pastor of large
church in the city of Raleigh, would use
such lncendiary language in this day when
in many sections there is strained rela-
lions between the races. There is nothing
in existing conditions in Raleigh to call
forth such Jeremiad and Incendiarism.
1t was hoped that there was some mis-
take, about the matter, but it seems that
substantially Mr.. Massee used the incen-
diary language quoted above. A member
of the News and Observers editorial
staff saw Mr.. Massee last night and asked
tanned in the report of the Times Mr.
Massee said:
Il do not remember the exact words l
did use. l did not use the word insur-
rectlon, but simply made an effort to de-
scribe the conflict which l believe to be
inevitable between the races unless the
present tendency of things is radically
changed.
Il regret exceedingly that the matter
hase been made subject of press COM
ment, as it was intended simply as moral
teaching for my own people at the most
quiet of all our church services
THE utterances in the afternoon paper,
which have created some sensation, are
sensational only because disassociated
from the body of the address in which
these sentiments were uttered. The ad-
dress was simply the application of some
moral truths growing out of Jobs. de-
tense of his own Righteousness. He had
declared himself innocent of the charge of
expressing the wage Garner, and drew
some moral lessons concerning the rela-
ton between employer and employee, and
the responsibility which the employer has
before God for fair treatment and just
wages for his servants. At the present

Raleigh was seething with indignation
last night. Never in the history of the
city has the utterance of any minister of
the gospel in the pulpit called forth such
universal condemnation on the utterances
attributed to him and printed in the Raj
eigh Times. In reporting the prayer meet
ing address by Rev. J. c. Massee, the new
pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle, the
Times said he denounced Tom Dixon 5
book, The One Woman as utterly I'M
fit for any pure woman to read" adding:
"There is not one redeeming feature to it,
it is devilish, sensuous, lustful to the last
degree" Some folks regarded that criti-
cism as altogether too severe, but it was
not his criticism of Tom Dixons novel
that outraged the people Here is the re-
port of his address that called forth the
righteous wrath of the people of Raleigh:
