OUR CHURCHES.

In the proposed building of two new
churches by our people in this city
we see the continued desire for the
service ministry of the gospel Of
Christ among us. 1t is as it should
be. No individual race or nation
can 20 far in the doing of real, ear
nest and lasting service without the
guidance of the Father of the Uni
verse. We feel that as race our
deep rooted belief in the Supreme
Being is shown in that peculiar
quality which enables us to sing
when in trouble and remain cheerful
under the most trying circumstances
and we intend for 1t to remain SO.
The new St James and the propos-
ed new Bethel, will mean much to
Dallas and our people. First because
they are to be model modern
church buildings. equipped with
all that goes to make worship
a pleasure and not a burden. Sec
ondly because they are going to
represent the brain, skill, talent and
education of Negroes for organizing
and cooperating. And thirdly because
they show the progressive and re-
sponsive ideas Of our people toward
that which both conduces to material
prosperity and at the same time last
ing good to all men.
These churches will represent
thousands OF dollars in capital owned
and controlled by our people. In all
probability, in the case of one II
is now a fact. they will be planned
and erected by Negro contractors
and architects. And last but not
least their cost and maintenance will
be borne by black congregations.
Taken as a naked fact. this means
much. 1t does not mean that we are
independent. far from that No race
or nation on earth Is sufficient unto
itself. But it does mean that we have
so learned the lesson of thrift and in
dustry that our desires have increas-
ed and we glory in producing things
of credit and worth which shall serve
ourselves and coming generations. II
means that while we are seeking
for ourselves a goodly subsistence
and favorable surroundings we do
not forget to furnish for the Maker
and Creator a place of worship COM
mensurate with our general scheme
OF existence which has been made
abtainable for us by His mercy.
II is well however, to fully realize
that better facilities mean increased
duty to ones fellow men. Better
churches mean more opportunity for
ministering to the needs Of those not
directly connected with them in any
way. AS edifices increase in size
and splendor OF equipment they must
also increase in service to men and
the communities in which they are.
They must mingle more fully in the
society of their several neighbor-
hoods and their messages must con-
tain that which helps men to do and
grow here on earth.
Men must have their natural ten
dences directed and sent into chan
nels Of usefulness and we feel that
II is no more than fitting to teach
Christian. civic and social upright
ness toward all men from pulpits-
Civic and religious Dallas will be
benefited by these churches.
