the heterogeneous club and church
groups in Michigan into an effec-
tive instrument to better the Ne
gros situation in this state and
in the country.
We regret that the same spirit OF
progress is not manifested by some
other publications in the city, and
we regret too that the ministerial
segment of our population seems
disinclined to put its shoulder to
the wheel when such a momentous
step in race history is in the max
ing
1t strikes us as a bit odd that
the most response to our call for
union comes not from those who
should be with us in leading this
cause, but rather from the masses
themselves, whom we thought
needed to be educated into accept
ance of the program.
1t would be disheartening to
feel that the religious people of the
race in Michigan, variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 toS5,00O were
being held back from participation
in the Congress by the lethargy or
reactionary-a attitude of their
various pastors.
The fact that Reverend Peck was
the only ministers present at a
we held Sunday which
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1936-01-18

about $1,000 pople attended, seems
to indicate that this is true.
We on the Sponsoring Commit
tee of the Negro Congress want it
distinctly understood by the min
listers that the Congress wants
their support-feels that it deserv-
es it by it's function.
The sole purpose of the Congress
is to better the chances for life
and opportunity of Negro peo-
pie, and that, we feel, is the sole
purpose of the ministry.
The Congress offers ministers
their most convenient opportunity
to forget the differences that eX-
list between them and to cooperate
not only with each other, but with
the various civic, social and fra
ternal groups that comprise the
Congress to put into effect a uni
fled program for lettering the
lives of those in their community
for whom they bear the cross.
TO let slip this opportunity for
creating a powerful instrument to
mould society of tomorrow, is to
neglect the chance to do the race
an inestimable service.
Since our attitude is clear, we
hope that the wearers of the cloth
will cast their lot with those who
take the congress as a sacred mis-
sion and like the Jesus whom they
talk about, go down from the
mountain with the great multi
tude and make their presence
felt in the fight for freedom and
security.
