Those who believe in total democracy against total

He harked back to the Booker
T. Washington promise and said
"the destiny of the white man is
inextricably interwined with the
destiny of the colored man. The
white man cannot keep the Negro
down without staying down him
self" In discussing the subject
"Facing Our Problems" the dis
tinguished ecclesiastic placed
greatest emphasis on the problem
of making a living and strongly
urged the necessity of vocational
education Said he "Our schools
should turn out a thousand agri-
cultur:sts bricklayers and car
penters for every physician, teach
er and preacher and social work

president Of a southern college for

IF THE THOUSANDS of grad
yates emerging from our colleges
heard such addresses as the one
delivered to Virginia Unions class
of 1910 by DR.. A. Clayton Powell,
Sr Pastor Emeritus Abyssinian
Baptist church, New York City,
they were richly blessed.
From his rich and ripe experience
he poured forth his soul in a gush-
ing stream of common sense and
philosophy that held a vast audi
ence amazed, and Sent them away
in ecstasy and Worderment. Unfor-
tunately, the Baptist denomination
has no way of showing to out
standing advantage it's powerful
preachers, and whenever a Baptist
minister takes basks in the sun
light of fame and popularity he
must be good indeed.
The Negro Methodists have the
great advantage of their bishopric
through which their great preach
ers are automatically elevated into
the linelight Of public attention.
The Methodist bishop has a mighty
organization behind him; the
great Baptist preacher has nothing
behind him but his individual
achievements, and it is difficult
to make the world take note of
great Baptist preachers
INTO FOREFRONT
One of the great objections to
Mordecai Johnson's administra-
ton at Howard university is this
self same belief that Negro Bap-
tist preachers are not great and
one of the charges against Dr.
Johnson has been he is just a
Baptist preacher" A Negro
bishop would have been warmly
received at Howard if not indeed
heralded afar. DR.. Clayton Pow
ell Sr., has by dint of humane
service and hard work brought
himself into the forefront of the
ministry Of this generation and
his ripeness and peculiar under
standing peculiarly fit him to talk
with young Negro graduates.
In the first place, DR.. Powell
made no attempt at oratory or
rhetorical flourish. He spoke as
a seasoned sage about matters of
common interest. He made no at

minds with a mystic wand of
words, but instead he sought, by
