DUTY OF THE CHURCH

From the Washington Bee:
There is a great deal that the
church can do if it will in i'm
proving the condition of the
masses. The pulpit seems to
have but one object in view,
and that is to see who can build
the largest church and make
the greatest outside display.
Another object which w a S
about to pass our notice, the
pulpit has in view is to increase
it's salary. The pulpit as well
as the press can do great deal
in uplifting the dignity of the
people. The Bee makes no
criticism on dress. Everybody
should look well, should dress
well, and at the same time cul-
tivate good morals. The church
should do all in its power tc per-
suade the people to keep out of
trouble and observe strictly the
laws. There are some sad scenes
in our courts. The daily pro
cessions that mach in review
of the judges of both branches
of the Police Court in this city
are enough to convince anyone
that there is something wrong.
If the pulpit would exert the
same influence in reforming the
masses as it does in lifting col
lectiOns to build more churches
and larger churches, the COM
munity would be better off.
The pulpit is not doing it's duty.
Clipped from Texas Freedman
To some extent the above ar
tlcle is applicable in Muskogee.
If the pulpit will join the press
we can clean out a great part of
loafing immoral reprobates who
sit on the front seats in some
churches and who parade the
streets at night for immoral
purposes. If our ministers will
take firm stand against this
evil as they ought to do there
will be an improvement in the
personnel of the various congre
cations.
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1905-05-25

The 3Oth of May is decoration
day. We wonder how many of
our people will remember that
there were 100000 black heroes
in the war of the rebellion and
we wonder if any of them will
have sufficient patriotism to
journey to the National ceme-
terry and place a few flowers as
tokens of respect upon the
graves of the black heroes the,
the last resting place of the
black batallions of the Republic
who followed the flag of the Re
public during the great fratri-
cIdal strife and upon a hundred
battle fields proved themselves
heroes and patriots.
There are a few of these old
heroes still living and some of
them are in and around MuskO-
gee; and we think that on the
3Oth the entire populace should
join in with these old fellows
who saved the Union and go
with them to the City of the
dead the last resting place of
their comrades and show the
love and respect we have for
their heroism and patriotism.
The white people of the locality
have taken proper steps to OBJ
serve the aay in proper form. 1t
is not too late for our ministers
and other leaders to take this
matter up at once and other
leaders to take this matter up at
once and see that that day is
properly observed and that due
respect is paid and our dead he
roes are remembered by the race
in fitting way. The Cimeter
hopes that our leaders will take
the matter up at once and act
promptly. The Cimeter outfit
will do their part and if no one
responds then we will go it alone
and see that the black defend
ers of the Republic who are
sleeping in thd quietude of the
quietude of the National Gene
terry at Ft. Gibson shall have at
least a few floral emblems
placed upon their graves. Who
will join us. Ministers speak of
this in your pulpits on Sunday,
the day and time is appropriate.
