OUR RETURNED NEGRO SOLDIERS

Richmond welcomes her returned
Negro soldiers today because they
have fulfilled the confident expccta-
tons Of the city.
Prior to the war, when foolish Ger
man agents were scking to arouse dis
content among the Negroes. all
thoughtful men laughed at the pro.
I"ganda. We remembered how The
fathers and grandfathcrs of these same
Negroes behaved during the war be-
tween the states. We remembered that
General Lee was willing to accept
lhem as soldiers in his army. We
knew they would keep the faith. And
when a little later. the call to arms
came there was never the slightest
question as to the loyalty of the Ne
grocs. Nothing in the war was more
remarkable than the manner in which
Negroes were expected speedily to be
called to the colorS would come in
the late afternoons to be drilled by
volunteer officers on the campus of
Richmond College. Equally impress.
slVc was the support by the Negroes
OF the war work behind th" lines:
where their funds failed, their hands
were still willing. In the Red Cross
and in all like activities. the Negroes
did their duty.

we arc not to. In any way, antago-
niZe thom in their own work. We TO
cognizc their inallcnablc right, as
Baptists. to pursue such plans as
they prefer. They must be allowed

Southern Baptist Convention finds It
self unable to cooperate with them

are unalterably committed to the doc
trinc OF Denominations Control" of

as unfriendly in the people who may
not adopt our ideas. Baptists Of all
people have stood for the utmost free

violate that now. But at the same
time we shall not allow that such
freedom entities any one to trcspass

duty to protect the rights OF our own
people as it is to defend the rights Of
