THE WRONG GOSPEL

1t is generally accepted at this late
day that the churches have a definite
social mission to perform. Modern
church plants have many other rooms
besides the church auditorium in order
to adequately do community service.
1t is particularly the province of
colored ministers to be community
leaders. They should be mindful of
the general welfare of their people;
they should be interested in more
than attendance at the weekly prayer
meeting and especially should they be
interested and active in bringing
about better relations between the
races and in smoothing the path for
race progress.
Obviously then, ministers who come
north to cities where little if any dis
elimination is practised-where thou
sands of white people ask for the
privilege of aiding their colored fell
low citizens-should not use their
positions of leadership to preach hate
and distrust of white citizens and
urge their colored congregations not
to cooperate in joint efforts at civic
and religious betterment.
These kind of sermons are being
preached in st. Paul. The minister
is so used to staying off in the corner
where the southern white folk put
him, is so deluded with the idea that
black people are self-sufficient that
he advocates, off here in Minnesota,
the policy of aloofness, distrust and
hate. He is so foolish as to- believe
that the white man cannot teach him
anything and that any black man can
do anything that any white man can
do, simply because he is black man.
This is the wrong gospel. It is one
more reason why the mass of colored
people refuse to follow leaders. It is
a reason why potential white friends
grow first puzzled, then Indifferent
and finally antagonistic. The spec
tacle of a minister who makes a
grammatical error in every 100 spok-
en- words affirming grandiloquently
that white men cannot teach "us''
anything and that 1--WE" should stay
to ourselves and enjoy "our own" is
too ridiculous for polite words. Race
pride is pardonable and wholly de-
sirable, but in order for it to. be real
race pride and not vain putting and
bpasting it must be based on achieve
ment.
If our minister-leader must utter
anything outside the strict province of
the Holy Scriptures let him advise his
people to cooperate with and learn
of the white man to the end that
mutual progress may be made. This
involves no sacrifice of "rights" or
"pride," it simply calls for the exer-
else of common sense. Any other
social gospel in St. Paul is the wrong
gospel and should be run out of town
by the colored citizens.

september ID, l9O3.)
1. THE APPEAL resents the
claim so persistently made by many
Caucasians that this is white
mans country" The colored people
are citizens by right and birth and
the Federal Constitution specifically
places all citizens on equality before
the law. r..
|, 2. THE APPEAL believes that
the idea advanced by certain persons
that the Caucasian race has been es-
pecially commissioned by God to rule
all of the colored races is blasphemy.
8. THE APPEAL firmly believes
that in a republic there can be but
one kind of citizen, hence challenges
the right Of the government-fed-
eral, state or local-to discriminate
in any way between citizens by the
enactment of any law which speci-
fies that the colored people must be
separated from or treated differently
from the great body of citizens.
THE APPEAL is opposed to class
legislation of every kind.
4. THE APPEAL believes in man
hood suffrage without any educa-
tional or property qualifications
whatever, and contend that the law
abiding man of good character, who
does his duty as citizen and risks
his life in defense of the flag, should
not be deprived of the ballot because

THE MARCH OF THE X. X. K.
(From the Nation

II rom the NdtlOu)
The Ku Klux Khan is marching on.
This is fortnight's collection Of re-
ports reaching this Office: Ell Paso-
H. E. Gardner stood as candidate for
mayor on a Ku Klux ticket. His
robed brethren staged a campaign
parade in his honor. East st. Louis
The Khan put up municipal candidates
pledged Ito support only Klansmen
and Protestants for Office, to appoint
only Protestant chief Of police, and
not to make any appointments before
submitting them to Khan commit
tee." Benjamin Morrow's life was
threatened after he admitted being
paid by the Klan to distribute anony-
nous campaign literature; he stated
in an affidavit that Klansmen there
are prepared to assembly fully armed
at given signal. Pawnee, Okla
The grand jury investigating activ-
tiles of masked bands, in which one
man was killed, reported that the in
quiry was obstructed by the Khan
secrecy oath. Topeka, Kans.-The
former chief of police, Guy Swallow,
and H. H. Witchen, Kan organizer,
were held in contempt of court for
refusal to take oath as witnesses at
Ku Klux Khan custer suit hearing.
Releigh, N. C.-The State Senate,
amid cheers from the crowded gal
leries, passed an innocuous bill allow
ing appearance in masks for "char-
table" purposes and refused to pass
a bill aimed to strip secrecy from
khan membership. Albany, N. Y
Following introduction of an anti-klan
bill, legislators received a flood of
anonymous letters denouncing Jesuit
schemes for the mastery of America"

A SPIRITED GOVERNOR
(The Nation)

1t is not often that in the South
men are convicted of lynching and
then kept in Jail afterward. There
was a governor of Alabama who once
permitted the sentencing of a half
dozen men to the chain-gang because
they had made lynching a sport un-
til mere hanging became too tame,
when they INDUCED in the burning OF
half-witted Negro boy whose al
legged victim denied that he had done
her any harm. That, said the sheriff
at Wetumpka, was going too far. So
these gentle playboys were arrested
and, amid the plaudits of the North
ern press, were sent to the chain-gang
for a long time. Unfortunately. the
governor soon came up for reelection;
his friends advised him he could not
win again if it were said of him that
he kept white men in the road-gang
merely for having INDUCED in the
pastime of burning "a "nigger." The
men were promptly pardoned. The
present governor of Virginia is made
of better and sterner stuff. He has
just refused to pardon certain A.
L. Napier, "a prominent citizen in
Wise County" who joined in, the
,lynching of a colored man in 1921 for
am alleged crime, and for his part in
this foul deed was sentenced to a
year in prison. Governor Trinkle
rightly declares that to grant Glenn
ency to this lightly punished man
would be to "lend my sanction to mob
violence" All honor to the governor,
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-03-31

he is-poor and cannot read and write.
Disfranchisement works irresistibly
for the denial or abridgement of all
the related rights of citizenship, be-
cause voteless man has no right
which any one is bound to respect.
s.. THE APPEAL believes that
the schools supported by public tax
alton should be open to all regardless
of race, color or creed and that every
parent should determine the kind of
education he wishes his children to
receive. -. ILL.,. IL. ~ ~
G.. THE APPEAL believes that
the statement that the Southern eau
casians pay the taxes necessary to
educate the Southern colored people
is an economic absurdity. That each
man in his place pays as much tax
as any other man in the community
is an economic truism which has
never been disputed by any reputable
sociologist or political economist
from Adam Smith down to the pres
ent time.
Z. THE APPEAL knows that the
colored people have been misrepre-
scented in the matter of crime. Enc
mics have endeavored to prove that
colored people are criminal people,
but their statements have been dis
proved by statistics. Caucasian
Americans commit more and baser
crimes than colored people.
8. THE APPEAL is opposed to
mob law and believes that mob IL
cense is more dangerous to the we'll
being and perpetuity Of society than
the isolated attractions of the law by
individuals.
9. THE APPEAL does not believe
that the Southern Caucasians are the
best friends of the race. The South
ern Caucasian idea of friendship is
the relation of superior and inferior.
In many cases the colored person
who gains the friendship" of a
Southern Caucasian. does so at the
expense of his manhood. THE AP-
PEAL is not willing for the settle
ment of the race question to be left
to the unjust, un-American, unchris-
tian South for settlement.
10. THE APPEAL refuses to con-
slider any proposition that the colored
man relinquish any Of the political or
civil rights now possessed by the
race. Every effort should be made
to retain those which exist and to
regain those which have been lost.
THE APPEAL reafirms its unal-
terable determination to continue to
battle for the right to the end and
come what may, THE APPEAL will
never give up the contention for JUS
tice and the absolute equality of all
citizens under the law.
