CHURCH ON HERE
Vigorous Address Made by
Bishop George W. Clinton,
of Charlotte, N. c.
NEGRO MUST WIN HIS
WAY, SPEAKER DECLARES
Conference of New Jersey Body
to Continue Until Next
Monday.

THE negro must win his way to
civilization as other races have done,''
declared Bishop George w. Clinton,

ing the ministers at the opening of the
thirty-sixth session of the New Jersey
Conference of the African nj. f. Zion
Church, in the Pennington Street Zion
Church today.
"Civilization is not a garment to be
purchased in one of the stores in town
and worn off at the first trying on, but
represents years of toll, industry and
honesty. I lave no faith with any man
of my race who will sit down and COM
plain in a busy world like this. Let
every man win his own place in this
world. The man who sits down and
complains about white people or any
other people will never make n pro-
gress In this country. Get up and do
something"
