SOUTHERN LYNCHINGs

Five men were lynched during 1910
All five lynchings were in Southern
states. "The south remains barbar-
Gus" observed white New Highlander,
but the rest of us should not be
blamed for that" Of coursenot; but
the rest of US" are smeared with the
disgrace of lynching wherever if
occurs in the United States. The
North and West want to do something
about it by passing Federal anti
lynch bill but their good efforts are
blocked everytime by Dixie ilibus-
terers in the Senate.
The South seems so habituallv bent
on depressing the colored brother that
ITS leaders are seemingly unable to
lnaugurate and prosecute policies that
would bring the South abreast Of
Northern and Western communities
1t is forever at the tail-end of the

What Is Segregation?

Segregation is the special Amer
lean means of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of in
feriors in public status.
when the white South found it
self confronted with the federal Sta
tus of equality for Colored people,
the former slaves-equality of cih-
zenship, of freedom of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov
ernment-it selected the denial Of
presence and Of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand Colored
people as having been a slave race

The IsraelItes were DESTROYING the

place clustered with enemies. bur
Joshua figured that the city could be
sleged by just a few Of his men. So.
he dismissed his army and sent lust a
few to capture the city. They met a
great defeat and all were slain because
Joshua failed to realize the power of

force IN evil. If it were not 50 Paul in
writing to the Ephesians would not
have pleaded with them TO put on the
whole armor Of God, that We NAV be
able 10 stand against the wiles Of the
devil This battle is not against flesh
and blood but against prineipalities and
power, against the rulers Of darkness
OF this world, against spiritual wicked
ness in high places, against false gods
and prophets, against witcherv and
soncery, against hypocrisy and bias
phemy, against drunkenness, lascirious-
ness. against dishonest and adultery.
against pride and vanity, against living
and backbiting. So, take on the whole
armor Of God 50 that We may be able to
withstand when hell starts to fire.
Stand your ground with your loins
