above its many troubles. He is
making clean sweep, and will not
tolerate conditions that have dis
tressed St. James, the mother church.
There has been wholesale stealing
and grating on this church from
chitterling parties to real estate
deals, and Rev. Bess has investigated
and found facts. He spoke plainly in
his Sunday night sermon of the duty
of the church members, and hopes
to begin with a new system to bring
about Christian spirit for the sup
port of the church. Rev. and Mrs.
Bess have made good impression
since in Minneapolis.
He has tried to unite the frag.
ments of two factions, who were at
war when he came here. He has
been successful. 1t is deplorable that
St. Peter A. M. E. Church has net
taken a public stand to assist its
Mother Church" St. James is q
mission church and because of its
locality it can do good service. Like
the Peoples Christian Assembly, it
has a greater field than the other
Society" churches. The public should
help St. James Church, and those
who attend its mee..i;sa.:s (tho held In
humble surround'sgal will surely
hear the gospel esr.3 n preached by a
fearless and intelligent man.
He says that this field has been
overworked by church solicitors.
Many white people had said they
have given enough money to endow
Negro churches, and he intends to
use his best efforts to get a congre-
cation willing to support his church"
This is forward movement by
Rev. Bess. There will always be
good white friends to assist our
churches when we show signs Of self
support. Negroes arc coming from
the Southland, where they have the
habit of contributing to, rather than
soliciting for churches, and The Star
hopes to see the Negro churches able
to pay their pastors, that they may
devote their time to their work within
the church. Rev. Bess is to be en-
couraged, because he has not fol-
lowed the beaten path of suspicion
and destruction, but has blazed a
trail which leads to race unity and
uplift. .....

sired the other to hold on, the one be-
cause his companion was old. the other
because his companion was young, and
they quilted their grasp at the same
moment. BY extraordinary accidents
both were saved. each without the
knowledge of the other, and they met
on shore in great surprise. Few greet

Our Country mons Patriotism Must Not
Be Judged by Sectional Sentiment.
In al article by X. X. McWoOdsOn
which appeared recently In the New
York Sun on the attitude Of the north
ern and southern white people toward
the cOlored people as individuals and
as race and whether the cOlOred man
should fight for his country In case of
war the writer says: -
1t is true that the black man Ia no
more the pet Of the north. There was
q time that he was. but 1t seems now
that he Is the pest" Of the south and
the puzzle of the north. The southern
ers may not be too nearsighted to see
the black mans future nor the north.
erners too farsighted to see his present
condition. But 1t does seem that mel
Their north ~nsr south has very much
sight when 1t comes to seeing the
black man in the right light. One Is
prejudice blind. and the other Is color
blind.
The white people of the south see
too much Of him. and the white people
Of the north see too little Of him. and
as rule. the white people Of the north
Judge the black race by the few they
see in the northern cities. They must
20 sOuth to see the black man. We
mean the majority of the progressive
black men and women. There are
many leaders in the north who are a
strong type Of the worth and value of
the black mans genius.
The white people Of the south are
said to love the individual black man
and hate the black race and the north
erners to hate the individual and love
the race. And here we flnd the black
man again between two extremes. The
southerners see too much of him and
the northerners see too little of him.
The first blood shed for Americas In
dependence was by Crispus Attacks, a
black man. in Boston. A question
comes In my mind now: Should black
man shoulder q gun and 60 to war and
dght for this country, q country which
denies him the rights of citizenship un
der q dag which offers him no protec-
tion. strips him of his manhood by en-.
acting laws which keep him from the
ballot box, disfranchised, segregated.
discriminated against, lynched. burned
at the stake. Jim crowed and disarm-
edf II be lights. and light he must.
for what does he fight?
Mr. McWoodson's argument n quite
logical, but the attitude Of white PEG.
pie north or south. whether favorable
or unfavorable toward the colored
race, cannot blot out its loyalty to Old
Glory. The Negro will continue to
fight for his country and also fight for
the rights and protection which the
constitution and the dag guarantee to
an Americans without regard to race.
