SIS, 100000 PER YEAR
LOST CAUSED BY ILLNESS

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Birmingham, Ala.-"It is estimat-
ed that 100000 Negro workers in the
South can be found sick every day"
declared DR.. Robert R. Motion, prin-
cipal Of Tuskegee Institute, during an
address dedicating the Tuggle Insti-
tute hospital. "At the very lowest
estimate this means that the race is
losing in earning capacity nearly 50,-
100000 Of dollars every year by sick
ness alone. In the race as a whole
nearly half a million persons can be
found sick every day in the year.
When you add the cost of doctors
bills and medicine to the loss of earn
ings due to the same cause, we find
that sickness Is costing the race more
than $75.ooo.o00 a year."

"Baltdd !" of the
Brown Girl" Is
a prize winner

", mas won second prize In the W1tter
Bynner undergraduate poetry con-
test, according to an announcement
from the Poetry Society Of America,
under whose auspices the contest was
held. Cullen was one OF the TOO un-
der-graduates, representing sixty
colleges and universities, entered in
the competition. The judges were
Carl Sandburg, Alice Ccrbin and Mr..
Bynner. Cullen received one vote,
while the other two chose Maurice
Leseman's I'm the Range Country"
as the winning poem. Leseman rep
resented the University of Chicago.
Cullen's topic was THE Ballad Of
the Brown Girl" The poem is 200
lines in length. Its theme is:
Oh, lovers, never barter love
For gold or fertile lands,
For love is meat and love is drink,
And love heeds loves commands.
And love is shelter from the rain
And ,scowling, stormy skies;
Who casts off love must break his
heart
And rue 1t till he dies.
Cullen Is the son Of the Rev. Fred
erick A. Cullen of 234 West 31st
street, pastor of the Salem Methodist
church. He is 20 years old and a
student in the junior class of the Col
lege of Arts and Pure Science. Many
of his contributions have been printed
in various magazines. His writing
first attracted attention when he was
a student at De Witt Clinton high
school, where he won the poetry prize
offered by the Federation Of Women's
Clubs. His effort for that contest
took the form of a parody on Alan
Seeger's II Have a Rendezvous With
DEATH" which Cullen called 'T Have
a Rendezvous With Life" This poem
follows:
have a rendezvous with Life,
In days hope will come
Ere youth has sped and strength of
mind,
Ere voices sweet grow dumb;
have rendezvous with Life
When Springs first herald's hum.
Sure, some would cry 1t better far
To crown their days in sleep,
Than face the wind, the road and
rain,
To heed the falling deep.
Though wet, nor blow, nor space,
fear,
Yet fear deeply, too,
Lest Death should greet and claim
me ere
keep Life's rendezvous.
Cullen says he Is interested in po-
etry for poetry's sake and not for
propaganda purposes. I'm spite of
myself" he adds, however, I find
that am actuated by a strong sense
of race consciousness. This grows
upon me, find, as grow older; and
although I struggle against 1t, 1t col
ors my writing, I fear, in spite of ev-
erything I can do. There have been
many things in my life that have hurt
me, and 1 find that the surest relief
from these hurts is in writing"
Cullen, who has another year at
New York University before receiving
his degree, plans a teaching career
after graduation.

Dissension Caused by Plan to
Gust Present Secretary of
Sunday School Union.

Nashville, Tenn.-A. NJ. E. church
circles are preparing for the 1924
general conference to be held in
Louisville. A number of important
issues are expected to be divided at
the coming conclave. None, however,
surmounting in interest the fight
which threatens over the Sunday
school publishing house, located here,
and the attitude of Ira T. Bryant,
secretary of the Sunday School Union.
1t Is claimed that the problem which
is facing the Methodists is the same
which split the National Baptist con-
yention back in 1915.
So warm has the situation grown
through what a leading bishop during
the recent Atlanta conference describ-
ed as the practical usurpation of the
church's interests" and the auto
cratic attitude of Secretary Bryant"
that some of the more conservative
officials who abhor a fight are said to

Oppose Bryant.

During the Tennessee conference
which was held at Nashville this
month, the Atlanta conference, the
Georgia and South Georgia confer
ences held at Savannah and Thomas
Vile, the selection of delegates to the
general conference and the publish
ing board situation were the main
topics. 1t is said that friends of Mr..
Bryant have made a definite attempt
to elect delegates who would follow
his bidding but that in practically ev-
cry conference they have met defeat.
1t is pointed out by opponents of
Mr.. Bryant that under the laws of
Tennessee the boards of control gov
erning such institutions as schools
and church property are made self
perpetuating.
This fact they aver enabled the so
called Boyd group to retain control
of the immense publishing interests
which have been built up through the
National Baptist convention when the
convention endeayored to exercise
control and appoint officials. The
courts held that under the Tennessee
laws the board was supreme. Van
derbiit University, the wealthy white
school here, founded and developed
by the M. E. Church South, was taken
over by its board under similar con-
ditions and the church has been
forced to reIinauish all control.

Battle Expected.

Thus, it is said, is the situation
facing The A. M. Els. Secretary Bry-
ant is accused Of inaugurating a rule
or ruin policy opposing every Bishop
who has been appointed to the district
and to have amassed wealth since his
tenure Of Office. Egorts to dislodge
him in the past have been unsuccess-
full and a merry battle Is looked for in
Louisville next May.
Eleven delegates were elected at
the Georgia conference and seven at
the South Georgia conference which
was presided over by Bishop Flipper.
At the Tennessee conference held
here November 9, Bishop A. ]. Carey
presided and seven delegates were
elected. Secretary Bryant created
something of sensation when he arose
to a. question of personal privilege
and proceeded to defend his actions
In interesting himself in certain local
matters relating to st. Johns church
in which the conference was held.
The reply Of DR.. G. w. Williams, the
pastor, bristled with charges. The
incident closed with some stirring re-
marks by Bishop Carey, who claimed
that he had been falsely accused by
those who had rather destroy than
build up the church and race. The
conference passed a strong resolution
commencing Bishop Carey's admins
tration.

a sample of modern philanthropy. This abominable crime of race suicide does away with the primary end of marriage and turns this sacred insti- tuition into legal prostitution.
 Birth control is not only socially wrong, 1t Is morally sinful; of course. to tell this to those who belong to tho upper crust of society is 10 evoke laugh or a sheer, Sin to these modern Pharisees Is not violation of Gods law but to have dirty face, to live in tho back streets, not to wear fine clothes; this Is their con- ception of sin. To commit a breach of etiquette Is deserving of tho most rigorous censure, but to go out and violate another mans wife or to ruin pure. innocent girl is nothing--a pardonable weakness of human na- ture.
 Birth control is wrong because it is an abuse of nature, the prostitu- ton of that noble faculty which God has put in man and woman for the propagation of the hunian race. To interfere with the fountains of life is wrong. a violation of the natural law. No one has right on human life. no one can tamper with its sources.
 The Catholic church has always waged an external war against this degrading vice which makes pros- titute of tho wife and burns mar riage into n cloak to cover vice and hide an immoral life. Nice names often hide ugly vice. The real name for birth control is murder. The mor- ality of an act is not derived from the means by which 1t is brought about but from its conformity or non-con- formity to a fixed rule or law, and the law of all morality is the law of God.
 Thou shalt not kill' is still part of the Ten Commandments notwith- standing the attempts of these foul people to spread the doctrine of birth control. Because birth con- trol, or child murder, has not about 1t the sruesome aspect of the murder committed by the assassin, this does not take it out of the category of mur- der. for it is the taking of human life even though that life is still un- developed and only in the process of formation. It makes no difference that child is six months old or six weeks old, it has right to live, even though it be illegitimate and a child of sin and shame.
 'To do away with the unborn child 1 or to prevent it's conception by con- methods is outright mur-
 
 lation of nations. the destruction of the family and the moral and physical { ruin of those who practice it.
