Pioneer Religious Spirit Is
Gone, Declaration OF
Negro Minister.

Negro Minister.
Speaking before a large congrega-
ton Sunday at Simpson M. E.
church on Social Christianity" the
Rev M. W. Clair Jr., pastor, said:
When man stresses the things
that life contain his prayer becomes
a burlesque to God"
The pastor asserted Americans
have lost the pioneer spirit of re-
ligion in their desire for ease 1T
is better by far" he declared, ito
live in a dirty hovel with a soul
than on a mountain top with world
ly possessions.
Mr.. Clair, recently appointed pas
tor of the Simpson church, said:
THE magma charta of England did
not end war, nor did the proclama-
ton Of the United States bring
spiritual peace"
Man" he said, should use his
earthly possessions to attain his
spiritual goal The supreme thing
in life should be the soul When
church or an individual is spirit
filled there will be no trouble with
other matters"
Christ Greatest Failure
Jesus Christ was the greatest
failure of all times if we measure
His personal success from a mate
rial standpoint. His sacrifices be-
came the greatest heritage and soul
saving influence of all mankind"
