CHURCH WOMEN'S
WORK IN RACE
RELATIONS

@~1~N@NeS~@NOS
Southern Methodist Women's
Board of Home Missions to visit
the biennial session of the National
Federation of Colored Women's
Clubs at Tuskegee, Ala. AS a re-
suit Of this. contact there was held
in the fall of that year at Mem
phis, Tenn, a meeting of invited
delegates from the white churches
of the South, to which four lead
ing Negro women were asked to
bring a statement of what they felt
to be done to correct racial preju-
dice and improve relations between
the races. The significance Of that
meeting was profound. For the
first time white and Negro women
together discussed race problems
in terms Of their common response
bility as Christians, and went away
with the feeling that they had seen
the dawn of new day in race re-
lations.
In the fifteen years which have
passed since that meeting in Mem
phis, the inter-racial movement
among church women has spread
from that small group of Southern
women to all of the denominations
which are part of the Federal
Council Of Churches.
Among the projects sponsored
and carried out by the church
women's group throughout the
country are the holding of inter
racial conferences in local commu-
mites, the building up of inter-
racial committees, the promotion of
Race Relations Sunday, studies of
local conditions, notably one on
disqualification and health oppor-
tunities for Negroes; the publca-
ton of an inter-racial news letter
and programs for use in women's
societies, cooperation in the anti
lynching campaign, especially In
pushing the passage of the COST
gan-Wagner anti-lynching bill, etc.
The Federal Council of Churches
in America now sponsor the Race
Relation Program in every city
where there is local chapter.
The Y. w. C. A, Urban League,
and Halle @. Brown House have
united for the last four years in
the observance of Race Relations
Sunday. Each year a program is
held at either the Y. w. C. A. or
Halle Q. Brown House, at which
time a speaker is selected to give
an address to an inter-racial audi
ence on some subject pertaining to
better race relations. Sunday,
February 9, at A p. m, Prof. c. II.
Duniway of Carleton College in
Mortified, Minnesota, viii speak
on the subject of ''The Democracy
of Lincoln" The meeting is to be
held at the Halle Q. Brown House.
Pilgrim Baptist Church Choir, I'M
der the direction of Mr.. A. v. Hall,
will render the music. The public
is urged to attend this meeting.
During the week there win be
other interesting features of Race
Relations week. Thursday, Febru-
airy Is, DR.. Steiner of Grinnell Col
lege, Iowa, an outstanding author
ity on race relations, will speak at
the Peoples Forum at the Peoples
Church in st. Paul, at 8 p. m. DR..
Steiner is particularly well pre-
pared to talk on the subject of
Race Relations, having been an inn
migrant himself. He is the author
of a book, "On the Trail Of the
Immigrant" which is used in many
classes of sociology as text book.
