THE NEGRO PASSENGER.

To my mind there is growing
tendency on the part of the railroad
trainment to show to the fullest just
how they can roughly treat the Ne
gro passenger. | never like to be
pessimist. | never want the name of
being a fault funded, but it does seem
to me that somebody must speak and
speak to the main head Of these rail-
road companies, for in many cases l
fear that those at the head are not
at all times aware Of these local ills
in railway traffic.
On last Saturday night, October
18th, No. 8, N. c. and st. l.. Ry.,
for Chattanooga and Atlanta had on
board a car of young white men who
were apparently drafted for the
United States Army Training Camp.
The young men were loud and vul-
gar and so much of nuisance were
they that the conductor saw fit to
move them from the other white pas
sengers; hence he secured pole
and blind curtains, and drawing the
pole and curtains across the Negro
car, he left ABOUT twelve seats for
Negroes, he placed these youths,
Just behind the Negroes where they
could smoke, yell, sing, throw out
slang.
The conductor came through the
Negro coach throwing Negro mems
hats on their heads and yelling, Get
up, move around here" There were
respectful Negro men and women on
board and yet all of this smoke and
iawing had to be tolerated. 1t is
enough for the Negro to bear with
his own bad element, and why throw
in his face and presence, the unbear-
able of the whites. l do not think
it is the policy of the railroad COM
panies to indulge any such.

We can understand why Paul might
have been ashamed of the Gospel in
Rome. Today the cross has become
glorified in mems eyes, but then it
was only the symbol of shame, and
Paul preached as Savior one who
was crucified between two thieves.
Many Of the early Christians were Of
lowly station while Rome was the CEN
ter Of wealth, culture and power.
Things have changed somewhat,
outwardly, yet we too find abundant
temptations to be ashamed of the
Gospel. Scientific circles often ridi-
Guile It's teaching as to mans origin,
condition and destiny. The working
man finds 1t takes courage to tell his
companions Of his conversion and
school boys will jibe their fellow who
dares to kneel at his bedside to pray.
Frances Ridley HaFergal tells of at
tending a social gathering one eve
ming where she was invited to sing
She selected sweet hymn about
Jesus and sang it, and as we read Of
1t, we feel it was not easy to do that.
Why We Are Ashamed.
And now 1t is time to try to give
the real reason why Paul might have
been ashamed Of the Gospel at Rome,
why we may be ashamed Of it now,
and. on the contrary, why the follow
ers Of new 'isms" are not ashamed
of them. We believe it is because of
the different attitude taken towards
man. The Gospel regards him as lost
and undone, needing a Savior who
redeems him by the death Of the
cross. 1t tells him he must be born
again, becoming new creation. True,
the Gospel holds before man des-
tiny such as has not entered his heart
to conceive.
Paul tells, however, why he was not
ashamed. First, the Gospel is pow
er. OF this there can be no doubt.
For example, John Lawrence declared
that however much the British gov
eminent has done for Indie, the mis-
sionary has done more; the modern
educational system of India sprang
from Carey and Duff through Macau-
ley. DR.. Edgerton R. Young tells, in
a fascinating way, how this same Cos
pei wrought changes among the Amer
lean Indians for the far north, trans
forming them from improvident saw
ages into owners Of harvesting ma
chinery and well-built barns and boun-
teOus crops.
The Converted Medicine Man.
But, this is not all it is a power
unto salvation" Let others do with
all their entertainments what the Cos
pei is doing every day-bringing
peace to bad consciences, contentment
to restless hearts, and hope to those
whose outlook into the future Is
gloomy. We recall one story told by
Dr.. Egerton r. Young about an In
