WHAT SOME RELIGIOUS
ORGANIZATIONS ARE
DOING FOR THE
NEGROES

We point with pride to the rec
ord of some of the religious bod
les in their work to help uplift
the Negroes.
The Methodist Episcopal Oh.
North has a Negro for one Of
their General Officers, with sal
ary equal to the white General
Officers. One Of the secretaries
of the Epworth League is a Ne
gro, besides several Field Super
intendents of Sunday School
work.
The International Young Mems
Christian Association employs
three Negro General Secretaries
and we are told will soon put in
the fourth one.
The American Baptist Publica-
ton Society employs a Negro
District Secretary ior the South
and he directs their work among
the Negroes.
The American Missionary As
sociation Congregational have
for years employed Negro Field
Missionaries.
The American Bible Society
employs a Negro district secre-
tary, or field agent. The Amer
lean Tract Society also.
All of these agencies are now
spending thousands of dollars an
nually; they treat the Negro as
man and a brother, and it re-
mains for an association repre-
senting all denominations and
which spends only few hundred
dollars among the Negroes to
draw the color line and treat the
Negro as a Jim Crow Annex.
They have three Negroes on
the Executive Committee - Drs,
Mason, Penn and Shepard - and
one Negro vice president-Presi-
dent Bishop Clinton.
We wonder will these men sit
quietly by and see the race <tab-
bed in the house of its supposed
friends We will wait and see.

BURGLAR
VISITED
E. C. MINTON
Got Away with $3.50, But tie
Missed the Purse the Real
Estate Man Kept His
Wealth In.

E. c. Minton had little experience
last night rather out OF the usual or
der. He has been in rather poor
health and has been in the habit of
letting his lamp burn at night. Last
night a bold, buG burglar went into
Mr.. Minton's rooms on North Com
mercial and out OF the kindness Of
heart which suggested he should not
wake a sick man he turned dowu he
light. This made Mr.. Minton wake
up, for no good real estate man wants
to be left in the dark about any
thing, and the first thing he saw was
the porch climber reaching for his
purse. However, he was frightened
and skipped, leaving the purse, but he
had previously found $3.50 and he
got away with that all right.

his great scientific knowledge and his per-

holds tenaciously to a belief in the con

the results OF his Investigations may be
summed up in the sentence:
There is no proof that consciousness
necessarily ends with the dissolution Of
