Pastor Would Sing
Tight Like That
AT Sinners Rites
WOULD SING HOT SONGS AT
SINNERS FUNERALS

Baltimore, Md.-"Tight Like That"
"Thereu Be a Hot Time in the Old
Town Tonight" and at Amt Gonna
Rain No More" would be more appro-
pirate for funeral services of sinners
and non-church members than the
hymns of the believers, declared the
Rev. W. White, pastor of the Provi-
dent Baptist Church, in a paper read
to the Baptist ministers at the Enon
Baptist Church, Monday.
"Why take advantage of a man
after he is dead?" the clergyman
asked. at seems to me that if man
has given all his life on the side of
the devil, it is just little unfair to
him to take advantage of him after
death and force upon him that which
he would not have in life," said DIR.
White.
DR.. White thinks that if minister
should talk, sYes, We Have No
Bananas" would be good text; a
solo, "Everybody's Doing It," might
follow, and "A Hot Time" used as a
occasional.
The Rev. George Crawley, presi-
dent of the Baptist Minister'S Confer
ence, said that ofttimes he was on the
verge of refusing to officiate in the
last rites of an unbeliever, but that
it furnished an opportunity to "get
the others told" and thus he accepted.
In concluding his comment, DR..
White declared that there is doubt
as to whether Christians do not go
too far in reading Christian cere-
monies over the body of a person
who was not believer, and who had
not demonstrated his belief in Chris
tianity during his life time.

Negroes of Importance who would fol-
low the leadership of another. Other
speakers were Smithy Norton, who
told of the progress of the young
