to lift all handicaps from the Afro:
American. That superiority of race
or an individual which has for it's
foundation the ignorance of others and
measures it's strength from their
weakness, is the most insignificant
kind of superiority.
"Considered as race, the Afro
American needs every degree of edu'
cation from Tuskegee to Yale; for the
present the training of the masses
must be rudimentary.'
Another speaker was President
Charles F. Thwing, D. D., LII. D., OF
Western Reserve University, Cleve-
land, who presented report on edu-
cational work in the South, in which
he said the question was not whether
the Negro was more or less civilized
than the Anglo-Saxon, but whether he
should be regarded asa man. If he
was regarded as man, the question
was not of the North or South, but
of humanity and education. That's
the way to look at the question. Ii
he's a man he should be treated as a
man.

There is a brave Afro-American
down in Georgia and he is as modest
as he is brave. Sixty members of the

of plunging to death through fallen
railroad trestle few days since. The
train was tagged on the brink of the
gorge by a badly wounded Afro-Amer-
lean brakeman on the freight train
which had gone down with the trestle
a few minutes before. The opera COM

but he had vanished.

The latest from Lynchland is to the
effect that the "body of an unknown
Negro was discovered hanging to a

was riddled with bullets, and all in

had committed crime it is likely that
the daily press, ever ready to show the
bad side of the race, would have pub
lished it to the world. It is probably
a case of murder pure and simple

COLOR COMPROMISE IN CHURCH


The Wesleyan Methodist Church of
America in quadrennial session at
Grand Rapids, Mich, has dropped the
color line by voting to eliminate the
words. "or color" from the articles of
faith and substituting other words
which practically cover the same
ground, but not bringing the feature
into prominence. While it may be a
slight gain to have the obnoxious word
s'color" removed, it doesn't amount to
much so long as there are other words
which mean the same thing and in
dorse the caste spirit. THE AP-
PEAL'S test of Christianity is the will
ingness of the person who claims to
be a Christian to accept the black
man as a brother in Christ, without
any restrictions whatever. A person
who will not stand that test is not a
