IA PLEA FOR RACIAL co-oPERA.
rTtON. -. !

There Is much preaching these days
on racial segregation and separation,
all of which is unnecessary and un.
natural. Instead Of the races getting
further and further apart they should
be- getting closer and closer together.
In quiet moments when racial friction
is not under discussion and when some
specific legislation is not being agitat-
ed to keep the races apart, the cooler
|heads.--the iChristly men of both
carefully mediate and
pray for q way to:bring these people
closer stogether,1for mutual respect
and mutual c&operation. -.
N Both nraces are ahere by divine de-
cree. Both races su.have points of
strength and8.innate rights /; to life,
liberty and the pursnits at happiness.
Each race may. be- OF mutual help to
the other. The stronger may grow
the stronger by helping all weak; the
weak may grow the loftier in an at
mosphsrer OF generosity. magnanimity,
created by the strong in its effort to
help the weak. We can and should
come closer together In the common
interests Of the whole society, at the
same time with due regard for the
social disposition of each other. He
who seeks to widen the gulf between
the races is an enemy Of both, pro-
longs the struggle, and increases the
difficulty Of the problem. We are all
men, that Is assured. That we all
have rights that each must respect,
cannot be denied. That we are to be
here under the same flag, with COM
mon interests and a common history,
for centuries to come seems to be
fore-ordained. There should be COM
nonsense, grace, patriotism and
Christly spirit enough to make race
friction less and race cooperation an
everyday product, found in all parts
and under all circumstances.
Race friction is an injury to both.
To promote it causes bloodshed, sears
conscience and dissipates energy,
creates an Immoral atmosphere and
STILES the lofty growth of all con.
cerned. With one God the Father of
us all and Jesus Christ as our elder
brother, the Word of God as our plat
form, the stars and stripes for our
mutual protection, there seems to be
sufficient equipment at hand for
forward movement toward mutual CO.
operation. - Southwestern Christian
Advocate.

NOT A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST.
Father TheobaId on "Greek Catholics"
Church Of st. Peter Claver,
$40 Fuller Ave-, st. Paul
To tha Editor ~ Tuip Citv ctor

$40 Fuller Ave-, st. Paul.
To the Editor of Twin City Star.
I have noticed in a recent issue
stating THAT Greek Catholics are do
ing missionary work In Philadelphia
through the agency of Negro Priest"
and would ask you to allow me to
throw some light on the subject, lest
the paragraph be misunderstood.
BY ages of usage the term "Catho
lie" belongs ,distinctively, and exclus
lively tor one religious organization
whose central government is in the
capitol OF the Kingdom of Italy. II
was only by an unwarranted misap
preparation that the name Catholic
and other terms in use by the Catho
lie (RomanJ Church have been adopt
ed by others in recent times.
Now, according to the Official Di
rectory Of the Catholic Church in the
United States. the Archdiocese OF
Philadelphia has several places OF
worship, where special attention is
given to the religious needs Of Ne
groes; but none Of them are under
the direction Of a Negro Priest. Hence
the sGreek Catholics, and the NEGRO
Priest" referred to. cannot mean
Catholic IN its true and strict sense
but, possibly what are known to &C.
tclesiastical students as ORTHODOX
Greeks" who are not Catholics, but
Schismatics.
a It's therefore an error to refer to
this mission as i. one conducted by
Greek Catholics, and that the Negro
Priest is a, Greek Negro Priest. Let
me say further that there are Catho
Hos. strictly speaking, who are Greeks,
but they are enthusiastically known as
Greek -Uniats" to distinguish them
from the Greek Protestants'' who
are called .'""Orthodox". >. although they
are not.
Trusting that you will see your way
to give this explanation to your read,
ers,
Yours respectfully,

TRUTHS ABOUT SOCIETY.

tjonS,

& The "Entre Nous" element has done
little, II anything to better civic eondi
tions.
Lack Of Proper Leadership.
Now that the population of Mime
apolis is increasing rapidly, it is i'm
portant that the Negroes should keeI
pace with the times, and share in its
growth. Strangers are coming in oul
midst who possess qualities, which will
make it better for US, If they are
kindly received and fairly treated
There has been among Negroes in
every community select element
known as Society" which has always
been a hindrance to the advancement
of the moral welfare of its citizens.
They often represent the original Off
springs, who have done nothing, and
by their extreme conservativeness,
hinder the progress of others. We
recognize the rights of the home
circle, but should welcome the stran-
ger within our gates, especially in re.
gard to their effort and talent. Many
recognize no merit in others because
they are not lone of u.s." There Is no
unity among our people. Every eff.
fort to bring about this has been a
failure. This Society" must be rel,
egated. They are literally unable to
cope with present day conditions. and,
II the question is brought to a moral
Issue, are deficient. It should be the
purpose and pleasure of leaders of the
smart set, to strengthen themselves
by encouraging others, who aim to do
something. We are our brothers
keeper, and should encourage him
rather than give place to criticism.
There are some among Society" who
are far worse than those, who do not
set bounds to the limits Of friendship.
While we believe that the home circle
is sacred, and our social relations re-
fleet greatly upon our character; we
should not fear to touch sleeve and
elbow with others, who may have q
better reputation, in the community
where they formerly lived than we
have in our Society" There has been
no leadership either socially or pol.
-itically in Minneapolis. There Is not
man or woman, who can say without
contradiction, that there is. Some have
used others of lesser intelligence and
have held some prominence but they
with their ignorant followers have
made miserable showing. II we are
to have caste. let those who desire
1t draw their circumscribe limitations
and stay within their circle; but II we
are to have united, spirit of repre-
sentation Negro citizenship, we must
begin now, or forever straggle along.
on the outskirts of civic and moral
interests, in the name of selfish set
called Society"
