five thousand of us shall march

ing a half hour prayer service In
every church in the capitol city,
there will be 10 question of leader
ship. The world will know that
at last the race has decided to de-
mand its rights, and will not take
no for an answer.
It is certain that no one who has
red blood in their veins and a
conscience will say that they are
satisfied with the conditions in tn S
country, of which we form no small
part, and for which we have given
our lives on the field of battle.
There are those who contend that
the white people of the South know
best how to deal with the Negro,
and that they are among his
friends. If to be hung to con-
venient limb and to be burned at
the stake are acts of friendship,
then may God deliver us from our
i friends.
Although this movement had its
bir,h in a Baptist convention it is
by no means confined to the Bap-
lists alone. Indeed, it is race
movement and we therefore call on
every man and woman of the race
to write at once to the Senator and
Congressman of their district, tell
ing them of the movement and re-
quest them to meet our delega-
ton of five thousand at the gates
of the capitol, on the morning of
May 7 next, and head the line of
march up to the White House. 1t
is confidently expected that every
pastor, regardless of denomination

BAPTIST IN
EARNEST
Intend to Make Pilgrimage to Washington Five Thousand
strong Date has been Chosen. Says Small
Committees have done Very Little Good.

Tuesday. May 7, 1912, has been
selected by the colored Baptist OF
the country to make their march
to Washington, D. c., 5000 strong
with a view of demanding fair play
for the Negroes of the United
States. The colored Baptists are
really in earnest in the movement,
and making preparations for the
pilgrimage, at which time Presi-
dent Taft and the members of Con-
gress will be visited.
The idea to march 5000 Baptists
to Washington in the interest OF
the Negro was born at the annual
session of the New England Bap.
tist Missionary convention, held
last June at Providence, K. l.,
where a resolution was adopted
authorizing the appointment of a
committee of three to raise SUBJ
committee of 5000. Since the
convention in Providence the COM
mittee of three has been very ac-
tive
One of the strong advocates of
the movement is the Rev. A. Mark
Harris pastor of the Union Street
Baptist church, Jersey City, N. D.,
who made the following state
ment.
Recent disgraoeful happenings

siyely that the Negro problem Is
no longer confined to the South
The burning of Zack Walker
proves that in no place in all this
broad land is the Negro safe when
thugs and hoodlums go on the
warpath. No one ever dreamed or
thought of the possibility OF such
an act of savagery being commit
ted in the old Quaker common
wealth of Pennsylvania, founded
by William Penn on Brotherly
Love. But it did happen, and on
the Lords Day.
The quiet of that Holy Day was
broken by the multitudious howl
of a bloodthirsty crowd OF demons
disguised in the form of human
beings, led on to their ghastly work
by some OF the so called best white
citizens of Coatesville, and unless
we rise up and vigorously protest
against the commission of these
barbaric deeds, the time Will come
when the dying groans of Negro
will be heard coming from the
flames of his funeral pyre, on the
yery spot where Crispus Attucks
fell, and the fair name OF Massachu-
sets will become stencil in the
nostrils of men.
