THE RACE NEEDS MORE.

We Teed more than the success of
American Arms. God in Heaven
knows we. need and want Democra-
cy more than any one else in Ameri-
ca, a Democracy not of the rhetorical
type but one bearing the stamp OF
practical application, genuine in all
It's phases. Let our churches pray for
1t at the same time when all Ameri-
ca prays for fear that our specific
needs may perchance be possibly neg
lected. If therefore we want a prayer
well said as touching our condition
In America, I feel quite certain we
must say it for ourselves.

DIR. SKIpWITH'S GREAT WORK
Rcsolutspns Commanding Him Are
Adopted at Memphis.

We your committee on resolutions,
expressing our appreciation Of the
character Of work, and exalted ser
vices rendered during the past twelve
days, by the Rev. w. II. Skipwith, d.
D., of Philadelphia, Pa, at the First
Baptist church est. Paul Ave.,) Mem
phis, Tenn, beg to submit the follow
ing as our report.
This Is a.. age Of pestilence, an age
OF skepticism, an age of destruction
and sudden death an age compared with
which there never was time when
to become christian was wiser step
than 1t Is today. -..
Being cminently conversant with,
and thoroughly alive to these facts,
Dr. Skipwith featured no secret sub
tcrfuge designed to secure by dccep-
ton, false confession from the sim
ners and altho he surrendered moth
ing which was his right in justice to
his cause, he rcsorted to no question
able and doubtful practices. He met
the devil in the open, and. preaching
clean and high class gospel; sing
Ing tho wonderful songs of Zion
fought his battles on n principle. For
In the purest doctrine Of christian
sentiment, delivered in the most mas
terful arguments, he administered the
balm Of hope; and every sinner who
heard him is no longer ignorant Of
his prcdicamcnt and condemnation as
an insolvent debtor.
This being true, also the spirituali--
ty Of the whole church (including
visitors) having been UNNECESSARILY
benefited and increased:
Therefore, Resolved, That we tend
or the Rev. DR.. Skipwith with ris-
Ing vote OF sincere thanks and deep
appreciation for the plain and simple
yet exalted manner in which he point
ed out to the christian the paths oil
duty; and, to the sinner, the plan Of
salvation
Wherever you go DR.. Skipwith, to
carry this message of hope, and preach |
this doctrine of faith, the prayers of
the members and friends of tho First Z
Baptist Church shall go up In your
behalf during the remaining years Of
your natural life.
Resolved. further that a copy Of
these resolutions be presented to DR.. |
Skipwith.

A TOLERANT SPIRIT.

Let us pray on that day and every
DAY for more tolerant spirit of Jus
tice In America toward our people. Let
lis pray that the spirit of God may
get into the heart Of our Great Presi
dent and open his lips in an express
sion' the meat of which we can take
TO ourselves, regarding Americas
right for Democracy as touching and
erecting the status of tho Negro
throughout this land. Surely this Ma
ton cannot face God next Sunday
with any objection to our added an.
peal to specific prayer, even though
we are praying to carry the ultimate
end Of victory step further.

GODS CHOSEN.

Often see it stated that the hand
OF God Is In this horrible and hideous
war. This I do not doubt. But when
see 1t stated that America is Gods
chosen vehicle for carrying right and
Justice to the world, begin to wonder
II America Is not presuming with
God and assuming to herself an all too
righteous mien. Why America, with
her bloody records of burning, lynch
ing. murder, oppression and wanton
persecution Of her own black citizens?
Has God been blind? Has God forgot?
SHOULD HAVE CLEAN HANDS.
If we must approach God-and we
must-Ilet us approach Him with
clean hands and clean hearts. IF we
must beg Gods marcy-and we must
let us come with mercy in our hearts,
being prepared to grant mercy to those
VINO are appealing for It here below.
Otherwise the prayers Of a people, an
Individual and nation become a
mockery and an insult to The God O;
oil .men!.
Follow !Negroen, Fellow Citizens.
