Sec Hopeful Future
For American Negro
SOUTH AFRICAN STRUCK WITH
PROGRESS OF RACE SEES NO
INSOLUBLE PROBLEMS AHEAD

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 15:-The
American Negro has achieved in d
few generations what it usually takes
centuries for a racial group to at
tain, according to Hon. Graham Bal
lenden, head of the native affairs de-
partment Of the city of Johannes
burg, South Africa, who is on his
first visit to America studying the
condition of Negroes in this coun-
try.
with all the disadvantages and
hardships to which the group mas
been subjected in America" said
Nh. Ballenden in an interview CIV
en- to the press" the gains have
been astonishing when one consid-
ers the relatively short period in
volved. In no other country that I
know of has so great a measure Of
Justice and opportunity been ac-
corded a minority group of another
race. Conditions, of course, are
still far from ideal, but much bet
ter than I had expected. The need
ed Improvement, I am confident, is
only a matter of time and of friend
~ cooperation between the best
types of the two races. Indeed, OBJ
s~ervation and experience leave me
no doubt that, whether in Africa or
IN America, cooperation is the only
means by which genuine progress
can be made.
~ have been especially interest
ed in the educational progress which
American Negroes have made. rs 1
have seen it at Tuskegee Institute
and other of your great Negro
'chools. There is only one word of
warning that I would venture TO
offer, namely, that in the pursuit of
higher education for Negroes con-
sideration should be given also to
he great mass who cannot hope
for this special privilege, but des-'
perately need practical training for
efficiency and success in the corl-
mon pursuits of life. 1t is not a
question of neglecting either type
Of education, but of making proper
provision for both, and of recogni-
Ting that in their respective places
thew are equally valuable and i'm
portant.
"For the American Negro, in gen.
eral, l have only words of congratu-
lations and of hope. AS c~ontrasted
with conditions in Africa, the
American situation is certainly a
hundred times more favorable to
The race. Nor is the future over
here shadowed by any insoluble or
extremely difficult problems, so far
as I can see. The only real problem,
as I indicated before, is simply
that of normal human adjustments
and cooperation for the common
welfare. Proceeding along these
lines neither whites nor Negroes
have anything to fear"

Talk ON MINISTERIAL ETHICS
AT BAPTIST MINIS TERS
CONFERENCE.
DR.. w. T. Johnson Leads Local
Preachers In Discussion OF
Modes of Conduct.

IN Monday, November II, the
order of the day at the Haptlsg
Ministers Conference of Richmond
and Vicinity, was a discussion OF
ministerial Ethics" and DR.. w. L.
Johnson, pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church led in the discussion by
vote of the Conference. We present
herewith the gist of the address by
the learned Doctor at this session
held in Ebenezer Baptist Church,
omitting the many definitions TOR
ethics and the theories extant today
concerning this subject:
The introduction of Christianity
brought a new element into ethical
speculation; among Christians eth
les was intimately connected with
Theology, and Morality was regard
ed as based on and regulated by a
definite code contained in the Scared
writings.
Most modern ethical systems con-
slider the subject as apart from the
ology and as based on independent
philosophical principles. To sum it
all up. Ethics as we understand it
means the application of the princi-
Piles of right and wrong to the ac-
lions of men. With this simple ex-
PLANTATION we come to you with the
statement that Ministerial Ethics has
particular reference to the conduct
Of the ministers toward each other in
the prosecution of their God-given
work.
1. In Private Life.
and
II. In Pastoral Life.
l. In Private Ministerial Life.
(a) 1t is unethical for a minister
to gossip about a fellow minister in
a manner to curtail his influence and
lessen his popularity in the commun-
ity.
(b) 1t is unethical for a minister
to cast reflection upon the faithful
conscientious work of a fellow min
lister.
(c) 1t is unethical for a minister
to underrate the ability of a fellow
minister in the presence of his
friends or enemies.
(d) 1t is unethical to indicate in
