NEGROES INFERIOR TO
WHITES, SAYS PASTOR

The present inferiority OF the col
ored race and its social separation
from the white race for the better
progress OF both. was the theme OF
Rev. w. B. Forbush's sermon in the
Woodward-Ave. Congregational church
Sunday morning.
The frankness with which DR.. For
bush treated his subject was reveal.
ton OF his heSSers. lie began by coh-
sidering the southern position OF tho
inferiority OF the Negro and described
the changing views OF northerners who
originally stood on the ground of race
equality, but have changed since
northern cities have drawn their quota
OF colored population. The action OF
large share OF the unions in exclui-
ing Negroes has shut that race Gun
from union protection in all the great
constructive and transportation indus
tries.
THE Negro has become lterate
twice as fast as the freed white Rus
sian serf." the speaker said. THE to
tai OF the wealth that be has accumu.
lated runs into the millions. Thou.
sands OF Negroes have entered pro
fessional life and the race has already
evolved wise and sane leaders.
ION the other hand, the Negro has
rushed into cities. where he Is unable
physically, industrially or morally 20
meet the situation. There has devel
oped a specially dangerous class 81
half-educated. indolent youth of both
sexes. Intemperance and drug addic
ton have done deadly work. Race
amalgamation, against which the en-
tire force Of southern white principle
has aligned itself. has gone steadily
on. and the admixture has been OF the
lowest levels of the Two races.
Let the colored race stop talking
about Its rights and study its duties.
Is the advice DR.. FoFbush gives. The
whites may stop talking OF social
equality and help the Negro 70 fulfil
bis destiny by giving him education
that the race may raise Up worthy
leaders who will be It's salvation.
