c. NJ. E. CHURCH HAS OVER
SEVENTEEN THOUSANDS IN CASH

Jackson, Tenn, May-While press re-
ports were fresh in the minds of the
public of the failure of another Me
thodist denomination to pay its bis
hops and General officers due to a
shortage of funds, Prof. C. F. Porter,
to the surprise of many, made his
report here Wednesday to the Cen
eral Correctional Board of the C. M
E. church which showed an actual
cash balance of seventeen thousand,
three hundred, eighty five dollars and
ninety four cents( $17,385.94) on hand
in the Financial Department of the
denomination.
This report was considered the more
remarkable for the reason Prof Porter
had financed the new $125,00000 d
story brick and stone Publishing House
and Departmental headquarters of the
c. NJ E. church, and the General
Board attended by leaders from all
sections of the nation were lavish in
its praise and commentator of the
Financial Secretary.
When questioned as to how he was
able to report such a large cash bal
ance under such stringent economic
circumstances, Prof. Porter said, "As
head of the Department of Finance,
we've insisted that the c. M E. church
apply rigid business policies and ad-
here to strict business principles in
its operation. We have this cash bal
ance because we insisted that the
church must remain within its bud
get, if it is to remain solvent. The
church and no other institution can
go on always with its overhead ex-
penses exceeding its income.
AS the servant of the c. M. E.
church, we've not deviated from bust
ness rule, and, as long as the church
intrusts its management of the Fin
ancial Department into my hands, we
do not intend to deviate therefrom.
The Financial Secretary is a lay
man, is serving his third quadrennial
term in office, and has the distinction
of being the first laymen whom the
c. NJ. E. church honored with a Cen
eral Official position. He was first
elected at st. Louis, May 1922.

and infrm and he never organizes for
violence.
The road before him is a long and
weary one, and he has made prog
ress, but he should not expect this
progress to become too rapid or forced
His gains to be permanent must
necessarily he slow and sometimes
painful This has been the history
of other peoples as they have ad-
vanced in civilization and no other
history can be written of any race.
1t is remarkable that in all the
troubles and difficulties confronting
us, that so little has come from the
Negro.
Individuals of the race have given
at times offense, but not the race it
self.
1t may be said that from the time
the first Negro appeared in this cou-
try as a slave until now that he has
been an asset rather than a liability,
that he has been more law-abiding
than lawiess, hhat he has worked
harder for less pay than any other,
and his strength and patience have
contributed greatly to our own de-
velopment and well being.
The Negro should not be hated or
held in contempt He should be
helped, not hindered, and dealt with
at all times justly.

The weekly echo., 1933-05-12

During the past winter, with all its
sufferings, the man who complained
least of all was the Negro. He more
than anyone else accepted conditions
as he found them, and went on with
stout heart doing the best he could
under the circumstances. 1t is one
characteristic of the Negro never to
indulge in useless regrets over the
"slings and arrows of outrageous for
tune"
The stones from the sings may
pelt him and the arrows shot from the
bows of fate may pierce him, but as
a rule the Negro makes no outward
demonstration of pain though he may
feel his hurts equally with another.
If the Negro has anything good to
wear he will wear it with pride, and
Il not he will wear his tattered gar
ments without shame or apology He
always likes to look well on Sunday
and for that day he brings forth his
best.
I don't know why it is, but Negro
can endure hunger and thirst much
better than his white brother, and if in
distress another pec1liarity IS that
no matter how large of small he is
he can wear anybody's old clothes and
shoes with comparative comfort and
self-respect,
My foot is rather small, my ply
sique not very hefty, and have given
shoes and some of my clothing to
Negroes much larger than I, then
wondered how they could ever wear
them at all, but they did, and appeared
to be wholly at ease.
An old Negro, long battered by the
storms, and who has about reached
the end of the journey, is model of
resignation. If l was to carve a fig
IRE of patience it would consist of a
very old Negro quietly resting, wait
ing for the final summons, his head
bowed in humility, with hands knot
ted from toll, whose tired eyes, dim
with age, wese straining to see
light in the thick shadows across the
river, and whose ears, grown dull to
earthly sounds, were listening for a
voice from afar, that would summon
him home. The Negro has faith His
belief in a hereafter and the Creator
he never questions.
1t won't do to scott at this by one
who thinks he knows better, for in
this realm of questioning from whence
have we come, and whittier shall we
80, the simple belief of the humblest
black is entitled to as much weight
as all the doubts and Il -eories and
fine speculations of the proud and
learned. Nm this all of us stand equal
learned. In this all of us stand equal.
and death none of US is so wise as to
feel self-sufficient or superior
The Negro has his faults, but he
has his virtues, and these as rule far
outweigh his failings. The Negro is
rather easily misled. The processes
Of his mind are such that he gives his
trust too readily to others andhe never
becomes supicious until after he has
been betrayed. He is kindhearted by
nature. The Negro will relieve dis
tress if he can. He will soothe the
cries of child, minister to the sick

base further mark-up in prices.
Offerings Scattered
However, the failure of offer
ings to expand as the list was
receding was looked upon as a
definitely favorable auguary for
the future.
Electric Bond and Share was
particularly soft among the utili-
ties, backing away to 1873 for a
loss of 13s points. Consolida-
ted Gas of Baltimore gained a
point to 48.
The Cities Service common fell

ped u point to 27A, Oils were
little changed.
