Mastery Plea for Religious Educa-
tiOn

Dr. Shepard said i'll part:
With Religious Training. the
Hope OF the Negro Race" as text,
Dr.. Shepard pointed out the neces-
sity for foundation work as a pre-
requisite to permanent progress, and
argued conyincingly that only
through an education based upon the
Bible, with its Christian precepts and
the universal application of the
Golden Rule, can permanent advance
ment be made along any line of hui
man endeavOr.
"A common ground-so.nething
upon which all OF us are agreed, all
united, Is what Is needed declared
the Doctor The desire for happi-
ness is common to al men. The per
: lection of life's ideal, the fulhllment
of cherished hopes-these constitute
the goal we are all seeking. We
differ widely as to the means, but
the end sought is the same. In this
era of temptation to stray after false
gods, to be swayed by the intensely
materialistic aspect of life, it Is es-
sential that the right start be made
| that the correct foundation is laid at
the beginning. Happiness, culture,
| education, deveiopment-must come
from within Character is more than
! external veneer There IS no such
| thing as laying character upon men
from without. 1t cannot be fastened
upon an Individual. We are follow
! ing a false system if for one moment
we believe that we can lift into per
manent state of serviceability an in
| dividual race or nation by external
means. Manual dexterity or purely
intellectual grasp add little to the
sum of human happiness if self con-
| troll and obedience to the ethics OF
| society be lacking. Self-respect,
sense of duty to fellow-man, consci-
entious tulhllment of just obligations
| these are fundamental in the rela-
tiOn of man to his environment and
with his kind.

Make the Man First-He Will Make

Make the man first" said Dr..
Shepard; 'he can be depended upon
to make the living, Christian eduea-
tion tells a man that he IS a man
the noblest work Of God-gives him
a consciousness of his divinity and
inculcates an undying self-respect.
No constitutional enactment can rob
him Of this possession. No curb can
be placed upon his aspirations.

His life, simple one, was not given

tor this whole-sOuled extension of

Keeping the Goal in Sight.

Dr. Shepard told of the greatness
that was Greece and the pomp that
was Rome" and emphasized the tru
ism that mere culture and mere
wealth do not make for enduring hap
piness or lasting prosperity. Rellabll-
ity, loyalty, freedom to grow spirit
ually and morally and to follow the
bent of God-given talents, unrestrict-
ed by hamperiug laws, or unjust Gus
toms. will work a moral revolution
in any land America was founded
on the desire Of the Puritan fathers
for religious liberty. Wealth, the
higher education, manual skill and
the arts and the sciences came ar
terward-a natural development.
Emotionalism was described as a
Negro characteristic. Is it not the
part of wisdom" asked the Doctor,
TO control and direct this precious
asset to the end shat good and not
harm will be done by the natural exit
berance of our racial spirit2 There
can be no accomplishment worth
while without emotionalism. knthu-
siasm is emotiOnalism. We must
have it, but il must be controlled by
powers derived from Christian educa-
ton. Concluding, Dr. Shepard quoted
from Sidney Lanier's immortal verse:
"As the marsh hen secretly builds IN
the watery sod.
Behold will build ME a nest on the
greatness OF God.
I will fly in the greatness Of God as
the marsh hen flies.
In the freedom that fills all the space
'twixt marsh hen and the skies;
By so many roots as the marsh grass
send in the sod,
I will heartily lay me hcd OF the
greatness of Godt
