Some Good Philosophy

I Booker I. Washington, one of the
/ greatest chistian statesman the negro
race has ever produced, was heard by
many audiences of white people, both
north and south. Few men UNDER
stand the relation of the white and
black race better than he In discus
sing the relationship before white
audiences he often told this illustra-
tive story, ~ was born a slave and as
such my childhood was spent in asso-
citation both with white and black
boys. l was quite a champion wrest-
Ter among them, and by always pick
ing the fellow could throw down I
pinned many boys to the ground, but
soon discovered that could not
keep the other fellow down any longer
than I stayed down with him, for when
l got up he got up too" Then Booker
L. would make his application to the
two races living together in the
south. Showing that the two must
prosper together. If one would hold
the other down, he must stay down
with him. If the one would rise he
must raise the other
May we not apply this simple phi
IoSophy to our common church life !
There are many communities where
we have two or three denominations
OF christian people. 1t has never been |
true that one can long prosper at the
expense of the other. No church can |
rise on the downfall of another. |
Churches in a community must grow !
along together. Continued growth |
to the churches must depend on the |
winning of the lost. To win the lost |
there must be a revival spirit. No
one church in the community can |
have a real revival and another church !
not be helped thereby. Friendly riv- /
airy among churches is something |
helpful; unfriendly rivalry is detest- |
able, and should not be tolerated by !!
Christian people.
The sympathetic, helpful and pray
erful cooperation which has been
manifest among the churches of Car
thage should be encouraged and in
creased 1t will mean prosperity to |
US all.

Board of Deacons of the Carthage
Baptist church had at the last meet
ing decided to extend an invitation to
DIR. Fort to assist their pastor in a
revival to be held in June. Our peo-
pie are not only grieved at his death
and extend sympathy to the orphaned
child, but there is a feeling of disap-
pointnent that they shall not have
the great privilege of hearing the
honored and distinguished man of God.
The pastor of the Carthage Baptist
church feels HIMSELF highly honored
that he could name Bro. Fort as one
of his personal friends. But DIR. Fort
was a friend to all.
