He would be a marked man.
Prejudice and discrimination would
meet Him at every turn, in an eff
fort to make Him feel inferior. He
would have great difficulty secur-
ing wholesome meal or decent
bed. The Young Mems Christian
Association would refuse Him be-
cause the nice Christian young
men would object to His color. He
would be forced to ride in certain
sections of the country in dirty ill
ventilated "Jim-C Grow" coaches. He
would read signs in towns like
this: "Nigger Don't Let the Sun
Set on You" He would have a
hard time getting a job and would
soon learn that only the most
mental positions are open to
Negroes and that a Negro is the
last to be hired and the first to be
fired, that the MIRA code did not
apply to colored folk. He would
witness economic exploitation of
His brothers. He would hear con-
stantly the doctrine of the Negroes
inferiority and ignorance and at
the same time witness unbelievable
education inequalities. He would
soon learn that separate schools
always meant inferior schools for
colored; that some states spent as
high as $60.06 per capita on
white child's education while
spending 1874 per capita on the
colored child; blaming Negroes for
their ignorance in one breath and
denying the right to be educated In
the next. After being spectator
to one lynching in the raw where
He would see man tortured, mutt
lated and burned alive Jesus would
know that the cross was the easy
way, and He would cry for Calvary.
All is not dark. He would see
hundreds of white people with
high courage and hope making
valiant efforts to make America
safe for Christ. Inter-racial COM
mittees, declarations, women's
clubs, church organizations, young
peoples groups, educational
boards, preachers, physicians,
lawyers, educators, business men,

DESERVED TRIBUTE
By w. nj. Smith

So interested did the Spokesman
and Recorder representative be-
come in the palatable viands and
the excellent program rendered at
the o. E. S. gathering last week,
that he forgot his notes and when
it came to the review failed to
mention some of the people who
had contributed most to the sue
cess of the occasion. Among them,
Mrs. Agnes Eddings, grand deputy
of Minnesota-Iowa jurisdiction;
Mrs. Elizabeth Ewing, past matron,
Pride of the West chapter; Mrs.
Elizabeth Van Hook, worthy ma
tron, Pride of the West chapter;
and w. Fl. Martin, patron of the
chapter. The Spokesman feels
that those who work hard for the
success Of any worthy cause should
receive their due need of praise
and though none Of these folks
whose names were omitted would
think of blaming the writer or any
one else it is true none the less
that their hard work and real in
terest helped much to make the
gathering the joyous occasion it
was.

love for God was the apex of an
equilateral triangle including love
for man. If your love for God did
not work that way then the pro-
fessor was ga liar and the truth is
not in him." Love for God may
not impell a man to caress mem
bers of other races, but it will at
least manifest itself in a burning
desire to seek for them certain in
alienable rights" such as 'life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
America is faced with a ringing
challenge: Christianity Or?
Every tenth man in our population
is a Negro. The treatment af-
forded him in our country has been
and is the disgrace Of democracy.
The white man ought to seek re-
pentance Carefully with tears"
How easily have American people
seen the splinter in the eye of other
nations and pathetically failed to
notice the plank in their own. How
easy it is to be brotherly to and
give for men across the sea and
refuse to extend a hand Of help
and friendship to a colored citizen
in our own city. America is
menacing world peace. For there
will never be world peace until
every man in the United States, is
accorded fair play and a chance to
live. Not cant but Christ; not
bromides but brotherhood is the
cry Of the Negro. Christianity Of
fers the Negro God without broth
erhood while Communism gives
brotherhood without God. Two
white American mechanics were
banished from goddess" Russia the
other day for objecting to eat at
the same table with a colored fell
low worker. In the United States
a highly refined and cultured
Negro woman, dean of Fisk Uni
versity, was injured very critically
in motor accident near a Georgia
town. Though the community
maintained a well equipped hospi-
tai with a skilled staff Of physi-
clans, the woman died without
proper medical attention because
the hospital chad no accommoda-
tions for Negroes" If you say that
these are exceptions you show your
utter ignorance of facts.
Suppose Jesus should come to
the United States in the guise of
a Negro. What would be His lot?

BETHESDA'S REVIVAL PASSES
EXPECTATIONS IN FIRST
WEEKS SERVICE
Jefferson City Pastor Draws Large
Crowds

The Rev. A. w. Ross, jefferson
City, Mo-, evangelist, is making
revival history at Bethesda Baptist
church where he is conducting a
two weeks service. Despite the
cold weather of the past week,
which the pastor admits saps his
vitality and lessons his comfort,
there has been no letdown in the
vigor of his messages nor any dim
mutton in the church-goers of
all denominations and from both
cities who have come night after
night to enjoy the awakening spirit
the wide awake and earnest
preacher has brought them. Each
church in the Twin Cities has been
asked and most of them have re-
sponded this week to have part in
the services and on some night con-
duct the devotional meeting from
1880 until s P. M. The enlarged
church choirs of Bethesda with
singers from other churches have
brought enthusiasm to their work
and kept the church overlooking
with melody for Is minute period
each night. Zion was in charge

scented his out of the city church
Thursday, while on Friday both
pastor M. C. Mccormick and Lee
w. Harris and the people from St.
James, Minneapolis, and Pilgrim,
St. Paul, joined in the devotional
hour. Next week promises an even
more fervent program. The young
people of st. Paul, led by John
r. Lawrence, will vie with the
young people of Minneapolis, led
by Miss Kate Thomas, in showing
which group can prove by the
numbers in attendance the larger
interest in the fine efforts the
churches are making in their be-
half. This will be done on Friday,
Feb. 8, at the evening service and
on the closing Sunday, Feb. 10, in
a great afternoon meeting.
Sunday afternoon, Feb. 8, the
entire churches of the two cities
will unite in a 8 o'clock afternoon
service to which the Rev. A. w.
Ross calls especial attention as it
will mark the beginning of his
campaign in behalf of the people
who are not now connected with
the churches. During the past
week, his admonitions have been
directed toward the acknowledged
church members with the view of
rounding them into condition to

course, he lost their case for them.
Afterwards, he admitted confden-

where 1t would hurt a small business

mand that the relief orders be re-
stored to these people and will ex-
pose the relief officials for their use

demand that the relief clients be
given their slips to trade at this

Must Overcome Language Difficulty
TO Stimulate Steel Correspondence

One Of the weakest features of
our correspondence has been the
lack Of it from workers in the steel
industry. There are a number of
reasons &c this, but we here will
deal with only one difficulty and
how to overcome it
A great percentage of the steel
workers are foreign born. At the
present time, this percentage is even
greater among those that are close
to the revolutionary movement.
This creates the difficulty of Ian
guage in developing correspondence
for the Daily Worker. Many Of these
workers because of their foreign
origin and the lack of educational
facilities in the steel towns find it
difficult to write English.
Still these workers have a great
deal of information and experience
to contribute. that will not only be
of value to steel workers. but also
to workers in other industries. In
steel. we have had some of the
richest experiences in working with
in and fighting against the company
unions. There is now developing a
strong rank and file movement in
the A. A. Certainly the difficulty of
language must not be allowed to
stand in the way of these workers
