RABBI TELLS NEGRO
TO EMULATE THE JEWS

At the regular monthly public
meeting of the Manhattan Branch
of the Y. M. 9. A. at the Abyssin-
ian Baptist Church. in West For
tieth street, Sunday afternoon, be-
fore large audience Rabbi Alex
ander Lyons, of the State Street
Synagogue Brooklyn, delivered an
address on IF L Were a Negro"
He spoke in part as follows:
"First, if | were a Negro | should
confront the conditions which the
Negro confronts with the same for
titude and determination with
which they have confronted by the
Jews; in other words, I would be
content to oe the thing which
God Almighty had made me.
Therein many Negroes are at
fault. [ believ God made a va.
riety of races for the same reason
that he made a variety of other
things-because similarity begets
monotony. Since you are Negro
es be Negroes. 1 have only con-
tempt for the Negro who, because
he is little lighter in color, looks
down upon other Negroes who hap
pen to be little darker in hue.
Either a man is Negro or he is
not a Negro, no matter what his
color may be. Moreover, l should
not be like many Negroes who try
to initiate white people. Don't
make the mistake of believing that
everything a white man or white
woman does is right simply be-
cause he or she is white.
SIN the second place, if 1 were
a Negro I should try to have some
thing to show for my energy.
That is, | should be careful to save
as much as possible of my wages.
l say this because too many of our
Negroes are inclined to be thrift.
less. The race is often accused
of lack of foresight. They spend
their money too freely and too
thoughtlessly. Some Negroes, as
soon as they have earned little
money, lay off and spend it in or
der that they may go to work and
earn little more. Save your
money, If you cannot get your
names on the signboards of Broad
way you may yet be able to get
them on the side streets.
Finally, if L. were Negro l
should SO deport myself that no
one could point the finger of scorn
at me. Two things in this world
are of prime importance-money
and morality. And then [ should
see to it that, SO far as in my pow
er lay, every other Negro with
whom | came in contact deported
himself with credit. For if one
Negro goes wrong he becomes u

There will be no separate de-
partments for the exhibition of the
products and handiwork of colored
people at the Panama Exposition
at San Francisco, in 1915, says
representative of the management
in answering petition from GER
tain members of the race. He
points out that the colored people,
in opposing New Orleans, La, in
her ambition to secure the exposi-
ton, used as the principle argu-
ment that the race would be var

midnight by a decisive Servian sur
