There are some sixty thousand me-
groes In Chicago The number has
doubled in the last 10 years. This In.
crease has come almost wholly from
the South. This fact has 10 be con-
sidered In every problem which has
to do with church comfy. The social
and economic pressure which stimu-
lated this migration is increasingly
active In spite OF the fact that in the
last ten years the negro has gradually
lost almost every occupation that was
originally his in the northern cities.
Chicago. however. still has the repu-
tation of Offering the largest liberty
to all citizens of all colors and Ian
guages Of any community in the
North
over forty-fve thousand OF these
negroes live on Chicago's South side.
In the district bordered on the north
by Twenty seventh street. and on the
south by Fifty-seventh street. extend
ing three blocks eastward and west

Baptist churches and seven Baptist
missions with an aggregate member

The Negro Baptist churches. writes
a Chicago correspondent, face a DIM
cult moral and social problem In the
life OF the community, II is only fair
to say that much OF this condition has
been forced upon them. The worst
side of the city has been left for
them, and their principal street was
for a long time the prolongation of
our White Hell" where is permitted
barter in human bodies. II Is not
strange that over seven thousand five
hundred negro men are employed In
saloons and poolrooms, or that their
chief arterial street which stands In
the very center of their social and
business life. is just "one saloon after
another"
The influences OF these demoraliz-
ing institutions upon their moral life.
as well as other familiar and local
institutions OF even lower type. Is
indescribable We wonder II the negro
youth trained in the religion of his
home church far away. or even the
}tuln vi tht pltnthA lily -
trained TO meet this We are told
that many Of the people who come
here were taught that religion was
chiefly a state OF personal JOY and
happiness. Anything that made them
happy was allied TO religion. The
idea OF the moral restraints and the
social securities that are born of true
religion are not sufficiently empha.
sized. To be happy. 10 be joyful. Is
TO be religious. and to be secure.
What field of easy failure must
open up before such young life
when transferred TO the gaily-lighted
streets, the challenging music of sa-
looms and cafes, and the richly
dressed women OF the street; and
how easily the traps may be set for
a life that measures religion chiefly in
terms of feeling. and falls away from
It's institutions and practises the mo-
ment that inner joy and happiness
seems to be broken on the anvil OF
failure.
