"FAlTHFULNESS AND DEvo.
TON"

The Charleston News and Courier
says:
"The Negro women of the present
day are entirely too frivolous to do
anything we'll. They do not care. Old
house servants are few and far be-
tween. The modern servant does not
stay in one place for a long period.
She gets tired and quits, or she wish
es a month or two to rest, or some
thing happens. She has no stability,
and she is daily proving that the old
characteristics of the race-faithful.
ness and devotion-are passing away.
No people in the world save the
Southern people would endure the
worthlessness of these Negro women. -
THE APPEAL would remark that
the Negro women of the present
day are working for money and not
:,2cn the 'faithfulness and devotioa'
theory. They wish to be paid enough
for their labor to live comfortably, but
they are almost invariably forced to
labor for a mere pittance, scarcely
enough to keep breath in their bodies.
Again, the best Afro-Americans re-
fuse to allow their daughters to 90

them to the advances Of dissipated

CONTRARY TO THE SPIRIT OF
JESUS.

THE APPEAL very rarely comedies
with the religious teachings of Prof
Mcster of Chicago University, but
fails to see that he is at all wrong in
the following:
'There simply has got to be more
truth and more life in our churches
or the really religious people them
selves will repudiate the churches
Mems eyes are at last open and they
see how much that is false, dead, un.
true in churclldom, how much of cur
rent |christendom is contrary to the
spirit OF Jesus. Living religion of liv.
ing men will endure it no longer"
The fact is we'll known that for a
man to participate in a lynching, or
in the white slave traffic or in de-
frauding the government, does not in
terfere in the slightest degree with
his church relationships.
1t is equally true that were an Afro
American to simply enter into many
OF the churches and take a seat, the
act would be resented by the member
ship as a most unWarranted intrusion
and even the poor white man would be
a most unWelcome visitor at many of
them.
