There Is no doubt but that much
good is possible by SO relating the
Christian thinkers of both races.
Much of the disinterestedness OF
we'll thinking whites and lack of
opportunity OF well thinking Ne
groes is due the fact that they
have no common meeting ground
and the fertile ideas and schemes
OF mutual cooperation in the mat
ter of social and economic adjust
ment OF thinkers of both races
have no receptive minded inves-
tigators.
Men often dislike each other be-
cause they know SO little about
each other. A dissemination of
facts about Negro social and eco
nomic conditions caused by de-
sire for the knowledge with a
view to righting unjust conditions,
undertaken by both races and con-
sldered in the light of Christian
understanding will do much good
in adjusting some relations which
heretofore have been strained.
This undertaking, to those who
consider It deeply. may mean that
at last the double standard of
Christianity may be discarded. For
many years II has been the wonder
Of the rest of the civilized world.
that those of the Christians in
America. who have been loudest,

The actual and tangible pro-

The Ring Thing
at the Right Time
The Thing That Isn't Done
BY MARY MARSHALL. s. DUFFEE.

There is just one thing well-bred
English women never do" said one OF
them the other day. land that IS they
never speak rudely TO servant-oe-
cause. you see, a servant can't talk
back"
Now perhaps our American method
iB a more democratic one.
The American servant may talk back,
so far as that goes, and she usually
does.
It is her privilege a privilege OF
lsnd where, supposedly, there are no
social classes.
our social lines are so loosely drawn
that they may be overstepped without
much EFFORT.
That a servant in England never talks
back is mark OF his high training
a sort OF sportsmanshlp.
He may sheer inwardly at an III brod
master, but he does not sass back,
az some household workers In this coun-
try do.
We should treat the waiter IN res
taurant and the attendant In a hotel
dressing room with all the considerate-
ness shown by the well bred Englishman
to his servants, for they, In truth, may
not talk back
Their lob usually depends on keeping
an even temper under any sort Of critl-
cism or abuse.
In our relations with these servants.
even II We have none In our own homes
we should show them greater courtesy
and consideration than we would show
our friends who. n need be, may take
their own parts with q very business
like hrmness.
