Campaign Sunday.

It is true today as it was true in
ancient days that all greatness Of
! individuals, races and nations is
all human achievements and enterpris
rooted in religion. Subtract from
es the religious elements and nothing
Will be left but collapsing schemes
and crumbl:ng ambitions.
Americas rapid rise to power and
place in the galaxy Of the nations,
can be traced to those religious mo-
t YES upon which rest the foundation
of this great republic. Her first set
tiers We're men who were seeking re-
,ligious liberty: her first schools were
schools of religion; her first states
men were men who had faith in God
and her ideals of democracy are
based upon the teachings of Jesus
Christ.
The phenomenal advancement OF
the American Negro since his eman-
cipation is due to a religious 1nflu'
ence ergendered by white men and
women who had faith in God no less
than to the profound religious life
OF the Negro. The first leaders of
the race were men Of religious turn
Of mind. His first property consist
ed of churches and schools, which he
buided by the sweat Of his brow.
His first teachers and preachers were
men and women who served in the
name of the Lord.
The promis 'ng business life of the
race today has it's roots in religious
strivings. The insurance companies,
the fraternal orders, the mutual ben
gift and social clubs have all grown
out of the church. The Negro church
has been the clearing house for the
Negro's ambitions for three score
years. The professional men and
women of the race are products Of
the church.
For sixty years Virginia Union
University and Hartshorn Memorial
College have been ministering to the
religious life of Richmond and Vir-
ginia N particular and the country
in general Directly or Indirectly
every one of the $4,000 Negroes in
Richmond has been touched and
Helped by these schools. Three
fourths of Richmond's more than rs
colored churches are being served by
pastors trained at Union.
A $4,000 campaigns for improve
ments begins here sunday and all are
urged to donate freely.

SEGREGATION ACT

NEW ORLEANS, LA.s Mar. 12.-
The Supreme Court of Louisiana put
it's stamp of approval on the segre
gat.on ordnance passed by the city
council some weeks ago, which pro-
hibits Negroes from establishing res
licences in white residential neigh
borhoods and whites from residing IN
Negro neighborhoods.
The case was the outgrowth Of a
suit for a restra n.ng injunction by
white man residing in one side Of
a duplex house to prevent the owner
from renting the o.her side to Ne
groes.
Indications are that the case will
be taken to the United States Su-
preme Court, as Negroes are reported
to be enthusiastically subscribing to
a $40, 900 fund necessary to take the
case to the higher court. 1t is said
that the case has now attracted ma
t'onwide attention and many cities
such as Louisville, Richmond, Wash

r. V. Peyton, d. D., pastor OF the
ST Paul Baptist Church, at Montclair
New Jersey recently concerning the
call to the pastorate here. No definite
information has been given as to the
result of the visit. but It is inferred
that both the church and the COM:
mittee are as much ''in the air. as
10 Rev. DR.. Peyton's intentions as
before DR.. Peyton seems to be wait
ing for divine guidance, in fact, he
says so and whatever the Lord dir
reefs him to do, that thing he will DO.
The outlook is that he will not
come to Richmond as a pastor for
some time to come, if he should
come at all and many Of his friends
here are much upset and worried
over the outlook.
He is expected to occupy the pulpit
