SPEAKS OUT BOLDLY
And Tells Some Plain, Unvarnished
Truths that "Strike Home
ONE MINISTER A. MAN.

st. Louis, Mo.-Dr. John w. Gilbert,
Dean of Theology at Paine College,
Augusta, Ga, provoked much favorable
discussion when he addressed the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of Christ
in America, in session here, last week.
The eloquent educator was speaking to
the report of the Commission in the in
terest of Colored churches. He was fire.
quently and loudly applauded by the
five hundred delegates, majority of
them White, while he made his plea for
larger cooperation of the white pulpits
of the South in the interest of Justice
for our people. Among other things
he said:
Sentiment is higher than law. Sen-
timnnt overrides the law when the law
is not the offspring of sentiment.
Therefore it is the duty of the minis
try to change the sentiment antagOnis-
tic to the Colored man. Most preach
ers are towards in the face of senti-
ment and therefore for fear of losing
their personal popularity they fail 10
teach the ethics of Christianity, fail to
talk and act upon the principle of the
Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man." He spoke hopefully of rhe
brotherly relationship existing between
the NJ. F.. church, South, and the c. ".
z. church. lie believes that most so
called Christians need a vision of Pc
GERS sheet in order to be taught that
"God is no respector of persons. s."
"NIy people," said he, care more
sinned against than SHINING in the ma
ter of residence in unSauitary, un-
drained and dirty sections of our cities
and towns; also in the matter of alcO-
holic liquors.; for we do not own dis
tilleries nor operate bar-rOoms. White

men manufacture liquor and sell it to
our race who are debauched and ruined
thereby" Dr. Gilbert also contends
that our womanhood is sinned against
and defenseless in many places because
the community sentiment is against
her. As to education, the race is
sinned against because he does not get
his Just share of the public educational
money and therefore our rural schools
are overerowded and the teachers are
incompetent and underpaid at that.
Competent teachers cannot work for
the pittance offered them as salaries.
aries.
He further eontended that the argu-
ment so often resorted to, viz, that the
whites pay the larger part of the taxes
is false in its political economy, for in
the last analysis, the consumer, the
renter, the tiller, the miner-these peo-
PIE pay the taxes. 1t is their purchases
in the marts, their labor in the fields
and mines that give taxable value to
material things. The preacher must
teach the people the truth along these
lines.
He suggests that ministers alliances
composed of white and Colored preach
ers be formed in every community to
take into consideration all matters per-
tanning to the community without re-
gard to race or color. He also suggests
that at least two and the same Sun
days per year be set apart for preach
ing to both races on their duties to
each other. He pledged the hearty CO.
operation of the Colored ministry of all
churches with their white brethren in
any endeavor, North or South, to in
augurate an era of good will, love and
mutual help.

"oPEN CONFESSION IS GOOD FOR
THE SOUL"

Among other things, the Atlanta
Constitution, probably the greatest
paper in the South, says:
Georgia, as well as other southern
states. is undoubtedly behind in the
master of Negro education; unfair in
the matter of facilities, in the quality
of teachers and instructors, and In
the paw of those expected to lmpart
proper instruction to Negro children.
"We have proceeded upon the the
orv that education would. in his own
mind at least, carry the Negro beyond
his sphere; that it would give him
higher ideas of himself and make of
him poorer and less satisfactory
workman. That is nonsense.
eff we look over the list of the
most outrageous crimes committed by
Negroes, we find that they are gener-
alIv the work of illiterate Negro
brutes. Crimes of educated Negroes are
fewer and of a minor nature, compared
to those committed by Negroes in whom
the brutal instinct predominates. Ed
ucation minimizes or removes that in
stinct, and morally the properly edu-
Gated Negro is the better citizen, just
as is the educated White. ~

ARTICLE FROM THIS WEEKS IS
SUE OF THE LIVING CHURCH,
JANUARY 6, 1917. -

Whoever has heard a congregation of
Colored ehurehmen singing the hymns
of the church feels how much music
means to this race We believe that in
a degree the hymns and eantieles of
our service are greatly responsible for
the attraction it has for the African
race. There is a small congregation
90 communicated Colored church
men in a mission called st. Michael
and All Angels down in Florida, and
they haven't any organ. This would
be an Inconvenience in some churches,
but in a Colored church it is a calam-
ity. This mission is the only one be-
tween Jacksonville and Pensacola
that is, the only Colored mission. 1t
is los miles from each of these cities.
Now doubtless if this mission were to
take all its money It could buy itself
an organ, but the vicar is training his
people to pay theft apportionment, pay
the honest dues which the church needs,
and because they are trying to live up
to these obligations they have to leave
out the organ. They once had an or
gan. About twenty years ago some
body gave a well-worn organ to this
mission. But the organ, after playing
hymn and chant, after furnishing mu-
sic for baptisms, weddings, funerals,
Christmas Publications, Easter jubilees,
and Lenten devotions, has collapsed.
The Rev. J. Henry Brown, the vicar,
would rejoice earnestly, and his con-
gregation would rejoice, if a good new
organ or one not so much worn out
were sent to this musie-loving mission.
Might we not pretend that it is in ia
pan or China and crafty this modest
need? The address is Tallahassee,
Florida, Box ~.

THE LYNcHING RECORD FOR 1917.
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.
December 81, 1916.


December 81. 1916.
Julius F. Taylor.
Dear Sir:
In view of the widespread discus
sion of the causes back of the migra-
ton of Negroes to the North it is
timely to consider the lynchings for
the wear just closed. I find according
to the records kept by Monroe n.
Work. Head of the Division of Records
and Research of the Tuskegee Insti-
tute, that in 1916, there have been "a
lvnchings. Of those lynched, so were
Negroes and 4 were Whites. This is
less Negroes. and less Whites than
were put TO death in 1915 when the
record was 81 Negroes and Is Whites.
Included in the record are 3 women.
Fourteen Q4O or more than one
fourth of the total lynchings, occurred
in the State of Georgia. Of those put
to death 10. or az per cent of the total,
were charged with offenses other than
rape. The charges for which Whites
were lynched were murder, 3: sus-
pected of cutting a woman, (this
MeNican).
The charges for which Negroes were
put to death were, attempted rape, 9;
killing officers of the law, 10; murder,
4: hog stealing. and assisting another
person to escape, 6: wounding officers
of the law, 4; rape, 3; insult, .; for
each of the following offenses one per-
son was put to death: slapping boy:
robbing store; brushing against girl on

HEALTH NOTES.

poisons means a constant fight. The
perfectly clean individual, with per-
feet habits of hygiene, is safe from
himself, but as long as he lives in
city he is in danger from the poisons
manufactured by others, for he can
not be sure that they are as clean as he
is. Every outbreak of typhoid, every
case of diphtheria or dysentery, every
epidemic of milk-borne sore throat or
food borne contagion illustrates this
fact, that all are not equally careful
in household living conditions and per-
sonal cleanliness.
Pure, milk is one of the cheapest
food products you can buy. 1t is es-
pecially so for babies and growing
children But be sure it is pure milk,
for if it is not it will do more harm
than good. You can make sure by Wis
iting the plant from which your milk
is secured. A milk man who is giving
you pure milk will welcome your most
careful inspection.
The man is not very old who can
remember the day when the children
of the household were lined up on
Saturday night for a bath in a wash
tub on the kitchen floor. The kettle
on the cook stove supplied hot water
in instalments and soap and elbow
grease were efficiently mixed with our
discomfort and squeals. That old
wooden wash tub was not as dear to our
hearts as the old oaken bucket is in
poetry and song; but mother presided,
and we all emerged with red ears, wet
heads and clean bodies. Today the
enameled bath tub gets its hot and cold
supply from the tap in almost every
dwelling, and the chances are that we
city folks are cleaner people than
we used to be; and, in fact, with the
multiplication of smoking chimneys
and far flung dirty streets, we need
better bathing facilities.
Debility from bad habits in the use
of depressing drugs, from poor food,
over-eating, faulty methods of eating,
from overwork, too little exercise and
lack of enough sleep; debility from ac-
- Iof ha
strength; i'll health from any cause
all these, by diminishing the powers of
resistance, invite infection of the upper
air tracts, colds.
1t is bad enough for men and women
to destroy their own brains, burn up
their stomachs, and knock out their
nerves, livers, kidneys, hearts and
blood vessels; but to leave legacy of
feeble minds and broken bodies to
their children is still worse. This is
where the regulation of individual lib
erty becomes a community matter, just
as the fight against diphtheria, tuber-
culosis and the drug habit, is social,
community and race fight.
Don't sit in cold room, improperly
clothed, and expect to escape cold.
Cold feet and cold legs invite cold in
the nose.

are apt to harbor coated tongues, bad
