The young people are the life of the
church. But persistent and undue
exactness will drive from 1t not only
what is considered the future
church, but fifty per cent of 1t is
present support. You cannot take
brilliant and vigorous young men;
women, and automatically trans
form them into 'essified monks and
and cultured and vivacious young
insusceptible nuns. for such cant be
done. The Holy Trinity Church Of
New York City, one Of the. largest
in American in order to get the
young people into the church and
keep them there has made provis-
ions for any games they might care
to play, and in addition to this they
have a spacious dancing pavilion
in the 'Roof-Garden and yet the
black man must condem the HOLY
BIBLE to prove that the white man
isn't going to Heaven.
Prof. ]. G. Phillips, the renowned
elocutionists visited the Washing
ton school Monday, and recited the
famous and last poem OF the la
mented Paul Laurence Dunbar en-
titled little Brown Baby With
Sparkling Eyes" The auditorium
went wild with applause. Prof. Phil
lips made lasting impression upon
Wichita Falls, and we look forward
to his early return.
II the conditions of the side
walks in the flats last week didn't
suggest the building of cement side
walks to the property owners, then
say their sense of Civic improve
ment, and indispensable cleanliness
is invulnerable. The slush and mud
was from two to six inches deep,
and some places were impossible.
You shouldn't allow these conditions
to obtain l am not an expert at
cementing; but l dare say $4,000
would, go far, If not pay for, &C.
ment sidewalk in front of the aver
age home, and besides being a pub
lie, as well as a private necessity,
it would increase the value of your
property by 10 per cent. A place
worth $4,000, surrounded by mud
holes. would certainly be considered
a bargain for $4,000 with cement
sidewalks.
You initiate the white man in
fine cloths. automobiles, ETC., but
my friend this doesn't show intel
ligence. neither does it show any
marked degree of progress. A mod
ern home now is not complete with
out cement side walks, threes,
shrubbery, etc., and the man who
builds a home without these either
'plucks' the bud before it is ripe,
or else he is disposed of civic, as
well as self pride, the two attributes
by which the status of all races is
reckoned.
The reporter of the Dallas Ex-
press desires to thank the Gentle
men" for their corrections in last
weeks issue of this paper: who
wrote under the caption: Little
Black Wichita Falls" Notwithstand-
ing some of their statements were
unduly magnified, the reporter
wishes to take no issue with these
gentlemen; but will direct their at
tention to the article above, rela-
lively to the conditions of side
walks in little Black Wichita
Falls" to which these "Gentlemen"
will please respond.
