REFLECTIONS ON THE ELo-
QUENT SPEECH OF CHAS. S.
MORRIS, JR-"THE HOUR HAS
COME"
By DR.. NJ. A. Majors

When you have sat and listened to
an eloquent speech, and thrilled in
every nerve it seems, doesn't it seem
IKE you have been refreshened by a
Turkish bath with a brisk rub down?
Occasionally we go where we can hear
oratory, and it always has that effect
on US. When you hear sweet music
and enchanted with song there is
somewhat the same kind of stimulat-
ing power to soothe the nerves and
the spirit.
Recently we attended lecture given
at St PauPs c. NJ. E. Church, 47th and
Dearborn streets, to hear the elaborate
program of the occasion. Mr.. Charles
Satchell Morris, Jr., was to speak.
The subject was The Hour Has
Come" Young Morris is a son of
my old Worlds Fair friend of 1898,
who introduced US to Hon. Frederick
Douglass and his wife at the Haytian
building. Rev. Chas. s. Morris, upon
whose oratorical shoulders rested for
a season the world famed oratoricaI'
mantle of our great Douglass, himself
an illustrious character better known
the world over than many American
presidents and statesmen, and whose
achievements in behalf of the OPP
pressed make him singulariy the most
unique and possibly famous with ex-
eeption' of Geo. Washington and
Abraham Lincoln.
If I had never believed in the prin-
eiples of heredity, here are evidences
strong as proofs of Holy writ that
like produces like" for in the spirit
and letter the very eloquent Jr. very
much resembles his Sr. sire.

ARE DIFFERENT NOW
Our Civilization Is Undergoing
Changes that Astonish and
Amaze
By DR.. n. A. Majors

IL one should contemplate the mean
ing of our present day doings and con-
duct as standing earmarks of civiliza-
ton, he could very easily condemn If,
or accept it. He would be very much
IN the same plight should he do either.
And yet if everyone was pious, sorry
looking and sallow, straight laced and
restricted to the saiutations of the
church and Sunday School where the
organ must soothe our 10th century
nerves, and the doleful moanful mani
kin who IN monster searches makes
the collection of the hour the cause
for, and cost of calling sinners to re-
pentance at so much per sinner, and
the preacher glorious man that he is,
scientific joker and joiiier, often re-
spected more for effrontery and gall
than for piety and religious zeal by a
class of people whose ignorance ele-
Yates them to the revelation of mys-
teries as difficult as the major planets.
But this going away from what we are
going to write about. AS we were say
ing, absolutely denying oneself is con-
trary TO good Judgment and common
sense and which if not practiced marks
the way to perditien by our human
skeletons. The writer used to be-
iieye It was right to deny oneself and
take up the cross and follow in the
ways Of behavior that gives a fellow
the creeps to think about. But sup
pose literally every one of us should
do that very thing. Follow Christ, or
Paul, orsSt John. The very founda-
hon and pillow of all we have and
know would be blasted. Neither of
hem married. Neither of them were
ike us, and yet.we are told to worship

eral regulation of our lives, manners
habits, and customs.
VIII it be athletics, sanitation, n.y.
giene, law, medicine or religion that
must be augmented with our educa-
tive process toward the worlds much
needed reformations? Whatever it is
that will give US more body vigor,
stronger moral stamina, wider mental
reach, better heart beat, ADLER digestive
forces and cleaner as well as more de-
sirable intelligence, must be stamped
with divinity of the Christ who made
the one great eternal sacrifice. With
thoughts of the merry laughter of
childhood comes trooping over the Gym
les scared and sordid heart the joyful
recollection of happy days when those
long dead held him up as their pride
and future prospect
Merriment should stand always where
sorrows and horrors and ugly forms
of the people who failed to rightly in
terpret the pulse beats, and the heart
throbs of their age have ever stood.
Joy should be handmaiden to good
ness, to tranquility and our human
loves.
Public sentiment, of course, must be
sober, honest and truthful. People
should live true to high and ennobling
principles that make for our nobler
aspects of living sincerely and truly.
We can no more divest ourselves of
our human ideas, and notions of living
and rapture of being, and pleasure of
doing the proper things that appeal to
our human nature, than we can divert
the Mississippi River to change its
channel to flow east rather than south.

risy and lies; garbed and garnished and

ers in religion and piety, our sticklers
for morals, and who scourge humanity
with their loud screeches of degeneracy
do not practice denial free from the
stencil of their own moral debasement
The greatest sin is ignorance. The
greatest blasphemy is the satisfaction
that being ignorant seems to give
pleasure IN no matter what form It
comes to human kind should be re-
garded as a blessing and not 4 curse.
The understanding of mortals has not
kept pace with their superstition and
this is the ugly blight and wretched-
ness which makes humanity regard
love as sin unless sanctioned by law,
or representative government.
Everything it appears, even under
the radiant reflection of nineteen cen
turtles of Christianity is all messed and
mattered with the tester of human
bigotry. Nations have acquired the
habit of killing rather than loving, and
our chief concern is not how shall we
love one another, but with guns, weap-
ons, rope, dope, poison and debauchery
we stop merely for a pitiful moment
to philosopher on the manner and
process of killing each other.
Public sentiment sets the meets and
bounds of our good behavior, and it

~BATOUALA"

By Rena Maran, published in Paris
Received the Prix Goncourt, 1921
The book is in French, paper cover
and can be secured through the
Crisis, 70 Fifth Ave. for 6Oc. Post
age ten cents.
In his preface, describing the section
in equatorial Africa in which his novel
is laid, Maran says: at was a region
rich in rubber and with large popula-
ton. 1t had many plantations and its
people raised large numbers of chic
kens and kids. Seven years of foreign
rule have been enough to ruin it COM
pletely. The villages have been de-
stroyed, the plantations have disap-
peared, the kids and the chickens. are
dead. The natives, weakened by ex-
cessive toll, have not had the time to
SOW their crops. They have seen di-
sease brought to them, famine over
take them, and their population grow
less"
This is the keynote of the remark
able novel by Rene Maran that has
been awarded the Prix Goncourt, the
most coveted literary prize in France
Maran is a Frenchman, born at Bor-
deaux of colored parents. His mother
comes from Guadeloupe, his father
from Martinique. After finishing his
studies he took up his residence in a
remote part of French equatorial Afri-
ca, two days journey from Lake Chad,
as a colonial official. His novel was
published before he left, but he did |
not know that a friend had presented !
il for the Prix Goncourt, and he may
not know yet. so remote is he from
France. He has also published two
volumes of verse.
1t is a tremendous honor that has
come to this young colored French
man, and one turns eagerly to the
volume that has been accorded such a
prize, but we look at Batouala as pro-
Daganda for the Negro we shall be
sadly disappointed. 1t depicts gross
