1T REALLY HAPPENED.

The young man has been inclined
toward the Ministry all of his life.
And when we say all, we mean ALL
of his life. He cooed like preacher
yelled like one and held out his
chubby hands like one. Although 1t
is not in Armstrong High School
curriculum but he graduated from
there as preacher, just the same.
1t seems that he has convinced every
one>that he is a preacher except the
board of his church charged with
the duty of licensing preachers. He
has "strutted his stuff" before the
brethren, but they haven't said a
mumblfng word about that license.
At each meeting the young man IS
in guard outside of the meeting
room, so that he may be the first N
a waiting world to get notice of his
license. The other Il ght after long
vigil he painfully witnessed. the
brethren file out. The chairman got
in a car and drove off. When he
reached the place for his next stop
he was frightened to see a form
leap from the rear Of the car. (He
thought he was being held up To

colored section, where the owners
have decided to vacate.
AS matter of fact, the occupancy
of houses in the neighborhood Of a
white church does not impair its
efficiency for service. Only the
prevailing exercise Of race prejudice
which is not combatted by the pastor
and it's officers can do this. Then
the way to meet it IS for the colored
people themselves to exercise race
pride and refuse to be used as cats
paws for designing white agents.
1t may be we'll to state that
this racial division is now and has
always been in the hands Of white
roal estate agents.
They select the localities where
white and colored people shall
reside. They have property that
they rent or sell only to colored
people. The white property owners
are the only ones to overrule this
arrangement. 1t is accordingly
cruelty unjust to penalize co!ored
people for this and to create the
impression that a "black cloud" so
10 speak, is overshadowing and
threatening destruction to any group
of white people in this community,
Stop purchasing white folks
property that is not already pur
chased. Stop renting white folks
property that is not already rented.
Move to northern, eastern or western
sections Of the country, when the
opportunity offers. Two years will
bring about a change, which will be
as phenomenal as it will be remark
able Let us have peace.
