COLOGNE SYNOD ON URGENT
QUESTIONS.
lN. C. W. G. News Seryicef

IN. c.. w. C. News Seryice1
The retention and expansion of re-
ligious influence in education, methods
of combating the growing number of
mixed marriages, and means Of pro-
viding proper facilities for the edu-
cation Of the clergy, were the chief
topics of discussion at the Cologne
Diocesan Synod called by Cardinal
Schultz.
With regard to education in general
the Synod adopted a resolution declar-
ing it to be the unanimous opinion
of the clergy of the Cologne Arch
diocese that, not only should the ele-
mentary schools be Of a religious char
aeter, but that the same principle
should be followed in the secondary
schools and universities. 1t was de.
clared that the methods employed in
the past to care for the spiritual well
fare of the people are recognized as
inadequate in the face of modern
conditions. A special committee was
appointed to make an investigation
and report on this subject.
Mixed marriages and how to pre-.
vent their increase in number came in
for long and serious discussion. 1t
was announced that the Bishops of
Germany are planning to issue pas
toral letter on this question.
The Synod voted to have four col
lections taken UP each year for the
support of the various institutions for
the education of candidates for the
religious life. Both converts and
seminaries were declared to be in a
very precarious position due to the
fact that the funds formerly set aside
for their maintenance have SO decreas.

are negligible. 1t seems quite pos
sible that unless aid is received from
foreign countries, many Of these in
stitutions will be unable to maintain
themselves.

AS result of these efforts and others
put forth by the Colored citizens of
the State. Senator Sutherland who has
been a friends of the Negro took an
open and above board attitude in
favor OF the Dyer Bill and declared
in a number of speeches delivered
during the campaign that he would
vote for the bill and do all he could
to get an early and favorable vote
upon it by the Senate. According to
Mr.. Nutter's report, the Negro vote

ton, in session at Liberty Hall, No.
120 West. 1SSth Street. when It was
announced to delegates that Mar
Gus Carney again had embarked on
the matrimonial seas.
An adjournment was taken to give
the honey mooners an opportunity to
enjoy the weekend by themselves.
Discussions on Africa were temporarily
rounded their President General and
showed him with congratulations.
It became known that Garvey mar
ried Miss Amy jacques. one of his

by Chaplain General ]. r. l.. Diggs,
pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in

the first Mrs. Garvey obtained di-
vorce after he had been named de-

THE fight between Marcus Garvey,
the champion of Negro liberty. and the
black parasites who have lived off
the innocence of the Negro race for
the last fifty years, is on. A number
of so-called Negro leaders. members
of the Socialists and alleged advance

know that Garvey is the most fearless
champion and defender of the Negro
race, but for the sake of deceiving
the people, they have been conducting
a campaign against Garvey to feather
their own nests.
THE lazy, frothy demagogues have
never done anything for the race.
They have been talking and writing
for many years and have accomplished
nothing. See what Garvey has done
all over America and the world. These
envious and malicious gas-bags have
only fomented lynching in the South.
Challenges Foes to Debate.
"They have only collected money
from the philanthropic white people
to sell out the race and to feed them
selves without any sacrifice. The
villains do not mean what they say.
Show them a dollar and in five min
utes 1t disappears. The lazy good-for-
nothing Negro agitators and parasites
have brought their fight to Harlem,
to antagonize the Universal Negro
Improvement Association for August.
The challenge is accepted. If the
parasites have any manhood, as Gar
vey has always done to show up
their insincerity, he invites them to
meet him on a public platform and
let the public decide between them"
